The Eid Al Adha long weekend is here and Dubai is putting in the work. Whether you’re after a beach club party, a late-night techno set, or a family day out before Global Village closes for summer — this weekend has something worth leaving the house for.
We update this page every week with the best events across Dubai. Bookmark it, check it Thursday or Friday morning, and plan accordingly.
🔥 ARTBAT at Be Beach Dubai
📅 Saturday 30 May | 🎟 From AED 300
ARTBAT are one of the biggest names on the global electronic circuit right now — and this Eid, the Ukrainian duo are playing Be Beach Dubai for what promises to be one of the standout nights of the long weekend. An open-air beach setting, a headline act with serious international pull, and a crowd that knows what they came for.
Expect deep, melodic progressive techno pushed hard. Be Beach is one of Dubai’s better outdoor venues for this kind of show — the position helps, the sound setup is solid, and the vibe tends to match the music.
Tickets start from AED 300 via Platinumlist. Worth sorting early — ARTBAT shows in Dubai sell.

🌴 Bohemia Presents Bensy — Season Closing Party
📅 Friday 30 May | 6:00 PM | 21+
Bohemia Beach Club at FIVE Palm Jumeirah is closing out their season in style. Bensy — one of the rising names in the Afro-electronic scene, with releases on Rampa’s VOD label and a Defected drop alongside Andrea Oliva — takes the headline slot, supported by Sam Oui & Laureano and Coremusic.
The party kicks off at 6pm, which makes it an ideal start to a big evening — sunset at the Palm, warm melodic grooves, and plenty of time to plan where the night takes you after. Dress code is casual. Crowd will be 21+.
VIP tables are sold out. Dance floor tickets are still available but limited. This one is almost gone.

🎧 Nico Moreno at Hive, Soho Garden Meydan
📅 Saturday 30 May | Doors 10:00 PM | 🎟 From AED 150
For the techno crowd — this is the one. Nico Moreno plays Hive at Soho Garden Meydan, bringing his industrial, rave-driven sound to one of Dubai’s more serious club nights. If you’ve heard his sets before, you know the energy. If you haven’t — raw, hard-hitting, and uncompromising from first to last.
Doors at 10pm. If you’re doing Bohemia earlier in the evening, this works as a natural second stop — give yourself time to get across the city. Tickets from AED 150 via Platinumlist, which is one of the more accessible price points for a show of this calibre in Dubai.

🌍 Global Village Dubai — Last Chance Before Summer
📅 Until Saturday 31 May | From 5:00 PM
Global Village closes for summer this weekend — for real this time. The season was already extended once (original close date was 10 May), but 31 May is the final night. If you haven’t been, or want one last visit before Season 31 arrives later in the year, this Eid weekend is your window.
It draws over 10 million visitors a season for good reason. Hundreds of country pavilions, world food from every corner of the globe, cultural shows, carnival rides, and the Carnaval zone offering unlimited rides for AED 99. For families, the ticketing deal is worth knowing about: four tickets for just AED 30 (Sunday to Thursday only).
On the final closing night — Saturday 31 May — there’s a DJ performance on the main stage from 9:30pm. A solid send-off for a long season.
Opening hours: Sunday–Thursday 5pm–12am | Friday–Saturday 5pm–1am
📍 Global Village, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road

🦒 Rain in the Zoo — Emirates Park Zoo, Abu Dhabi (Eid Al Adha)
📅 7–9 June 2026 | 🎟 From AED 85
Not this weekend but worth booking now. Emirates Park Zoo in Abu Dhabi is bringing back its popular “Rain in the Zoo” experience for the Eid Al Adha break — three days of water slides, interactive rain zones, animal encounters, live entertainment and supervised splash areas for younger kids.
The zoo is in Al Bahyah, about an hour from Dubai, and it’s an easy family day trip with enough in it to fill a full day. Animals, water play, cooling mist, trivia competitions — it ticks most of the boxes when you need to keep kids occupied without melting in the heat.
Tickets from AED 85. The special Eid offer is available until 31 May, so book before the weekend is out to get it.
📍 Emirates Park Zoo & Resort, Al Bahyah, Abu Dhabi
