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
