Bait Al Oud (‘bait’ means ‘house’ in Arabic) seeks to preserve the songs and techniques associated with the oud, and other important instruments in the United Arab Emirates, including the qanun, cello and rebabah (Arabic musical instruments), as well as Arabic singing, Emirati choral and Arabic Muwashahat (Arabic poetic form). Bait Al Oud is dedicated to the preservation, study and teaching of the oud, a short-neck, lute-type, pear-shaped stringed instrument that is thought to date back to the Akkadian Empire in ancient Mesopotamia, which is now modern-day Iraq. The centre also promotes the continuation of the songs and techniques associated with this beautiful instrument. Offering music lessons and certificate-awarding courses, Bait Al Oud is a centre of both teaching and research, continuing the tradition of crafting ouds by hand and partaking in outreach programmes to spread awareness and appreciation of the oud and other Arabic musical instruments. All this and more is why it is one of the top places to visit in Abu Dhabi. If you’re planning a Dubai trip, visit Abu Dhabi before or after your holiday there.
