The Viral ‘Aura Farming’ Boat Kid Is Coming to Dubai—Here’s Where You Can Meet Him!

How cool is that?

Get ready, Dubai! The internet’s latest sensation—Rayyan Arkan Dhika, the 11-year-old “Aura Farming” boat kid from Indonesia—is set to bring his unstoppable energy and signature dance moves to the UAE this July and August.

If you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ve probably seen Rayyan’s now-iconic video: sunglasses on, arms swinging in hypnotic rhythm, dancing effortlessly on the bow of a boat during the legendary Pacu Jalur race in Riau, Indonesia. The clip, first shared by TikTok user Lensa Rams, exploded across social media, spawning countless recreations—from NFL star Travis Kelce to F1’s Alex Albon, Paris Saint-Germain footballers, and even BTS’s V and Jungkook.

But Rayyan isn’t just a viral meme—he’s become the face of a global trend known as Aura Farming. So, what is it? “Aura farming” is the art of projecting an irresistible vibe—a blend of confidence, calm, and charisma that turns heads and wins hearts. Borrowed from anime and gaming circles to describe characters with magnetic presence, it’s now the internet’s favorite compliment for anyone who just oozes cool. And right now, no one does it better than Rayyan.
