At La Perle by Dragone, you watch 65 artists perform above, on, and below an aqua stage in a purpose-built theater at Al Habtoor City. The 90-minute English-language show uses water, aerial stunts, acrobatics, changing sets, music, and large-scale lighting. With only 14 rows, even the 1,300-seat theater keeps you close to the action.

“While you’re in Dubai, I highly suggest catching the La Perle show! It’s packed with amazing stage design, breathtaking acrobatics, and touches that remind you of a talent show. We absolutely loved it—everything was super dynamic and visually stunning.”

“Wonderful morning out on the sand dunes! Our driver (Yasim) was lovely and so attentive. When we arrived we were offered tea and water, then straight onto the dunes in a buggy with no waiting. The buggies are a lot of fun! Following that a short trip on a camel, then Yasim took us out in a large 4x4 to show us how to properly drive on the dunes. We had a subsequent stop to try sand boarding down the dunes (unsuccessfully) then cleaned up at a quick stop before the drive back to our hotel. An excellent morning!”
