Resident Abu Dhabi dwellers can revisit the 1990s, wandering through a recreated era at the Cultural Foundation. The RAGE 90s event, running until November 8, brings back vintage taxis, nostalgic shops, and arcade games that once defined the capital. Shopfronts, adorned with colorful signs, recreate the essence of small businesses that once thrived on local streets.
A gold-and-white taxi stands as a reminder of a bygone era, when these iconic vehicles traversed Abu Dhabi's roads. El Dorado Cinema, the city's first indoor cinema, makes a return with a neon sign and a chance to relive its glory days. Alongside the recreated streetscape, visitors can indulge in arcade machines, fairground attractions, and food and drink concepts from 40 participating brands.
The event, set against the backdrop of the Cultural Foundation, a symbol of cultural history since 1981, offers a vibrant and immersive journey into the past.
