Schedule and key timing notes
Dubai Opera lists this concert run across Thursday, 25 December 2025, Friday, 26 December 2025, and Saturday, 27 December 2025, so you should match your exact date to your ticket. As a guide, plan for roughly 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM at the venue, because the performance duration is approximately two hours. Also, the programme is presented in Persian, so the atmosphere leans into lyrics and storytelling rather than casual background music. Meanwhile, Downtown Dubai stays busy throughout the festive week, so earlier arrival often feels calmer. Late arrivals may need to wait for a suitable break.
Ticketing and pricing guidance
Tickets for this run commonly start from approximately AED 395, while premium categories cost more depending on seating location. If you see a “sold out” notice, check again later, because returns sometimes appear close to showtime. Also, when you compare options, consider sightlines, because the Dubai Opera hall can feel very different by tier and angle. For the most reliable ticket routes, stick to PLATINUMLIST or the DUBAI OPERA box office rather than resellers. Ticket prices are approximate and can change.
About Ebi and the show style
Ebi is widely regarded as one of the defining voices in Persian popular music, with a career that spans decades and multiple generations of listeners. This Dubai appearance sits within the “Pooste Shir” World Tour, which blends classic anthems with refreshed arrangements and a modern stage build. You can expect a set that moves between energetic crowd favourites and slower, emotional ballads, so the pacing rarely feels flat. Additionally, the production typically leans on cinematic lighting and tightly arranged medleys, which suits Dubai Opera’s acoustics well. Expect a performance built for big emotions, not background listening.
Getting to Dubai Opera
Dubai Opera sits in the Opera District near Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, so you can plan around major Downtown landmarks. By Metro, many guests use the Burj Khalifa Dubai Mall station on the Red Line, then continue on foot with a brisk walk toward the Opera District. By car or taxi, ask for Dubai Opera drop off on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, and follow venue signage as you approach the district. Dubai Opera’s basement parking access is commonly via the P3 entrance on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, so it helps to arrive before the late rush. Parking capacity is limited on high demand nights.
Coming from nearby Emirates
If you are driving from Abu Dhabi, leave extra buffer, because E11 traffic can thicken as you reach Dubai’s core, especially on holiday evenings. From Sharjah, the distance is shorter, yet congestion can still build on E11 as you approach Downtown, so earlier departure usually saves stress. In both cases, aim to reach the Opera District well before 7:30 PM, then use that time for a calm walk and security checks. Alternatively, you can park farther out and switch to a taxi for the final stretch if Downtown feels too dense. Plan for heavier traffic from about 6:00 PM onward.
Venue rules and comfort planning
Dubai Opera maintains a smart dress expectation, so avoid overly casual choices like shorts or flip flops. For this event, children under 5 years old are not permitted inside the Main Auditorium, and children aged 5 and above require a valid ticket. Also, food and drink from outside the venue generally is not permitted inside the auditorium, so plan your snacks and timing accordingly. Because the hall manages late entry carefully, you will enjoy the show more if you settle in before the lights dim. This concert is not suitable for children under 5.
Warnings and tips for your concert night
For Thursday, 25 December 2025 through Saturday, 27 December 2025, Dubai’s forecast looks dry and mild, with daytime highs around 26 to 27°C and evening lows around 18 to 19°C, so a light layer helps after dark. Also, wear comfortable shoes, because Downtown often involves walking between drop offs, parking, and entrances. If you want fewer delays, consider the Metro plus a short walk, because car queues around Burj Khalifa can spike before showtime. Finally, remember that ticket and door prices can change and remain “approximately,” so buy only through PLATINUMLIST or the DUBAI OPERA box office. Secure your tickets early and recheck availability, because last minute seats can disappear. As the editor behind www.few.ae often notes, Downtown Dubai nights run smoother when you arrive early and avoid the last half hour rush.
