times. Renowned Emirati Theater stars and rising young talent aim to leave a lasting
impression on their audience long after the curtains close.

The Stage for Emirati Theater Goes Beyond the UAE:

‘At DXB LIVE it’s important to us that we cater to Dubai’s diverse global community of
residents and visitors. While we ensure that we curate a comprehensive events agenda,

populated with entertainment on both a commercial and public level, it’s necessary that we

support Emirati theater, local artists and highlight the modern social realities faced in the UAE
and beyond.’ Said Khalid Al Hammadi, Executive Vice President of Dubai World Trade Centre.
He added, ‘To ensure we appeal to the multicultural communities of the UAE, we work to

create an entertainment calendar that entices different audiences with international, Arabic,
local artistic and musical performances. As part of our ambition, we aim to stage successful

Emirati theatrical performances outside Dubai, in several Gulf countries, including Kuwait,
Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.’

2024 Set a Precedent for Entertainment Success:

Multiple successful shows, organized by DXB LIVE, were seen in 2024, with Omid Djalili’s
comedy performance drawing 2,000 people and 2,500 attending the famous Indian singer,

Theater in Jumeriah Zabeel Saray saw a staggering audience of over 6,000 children.

The Dubai World Trade Centre is a Hub of Global Entertainment:

The entertainment calendar for 2025 is rich with a vast array of internationally renowned
