FamilyBeatz, described as one of Dubai’s best family raves, is scheduled to take over Al Habtoor Polo Resort on Sunday 23 November 2025 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The afternoon slot turns the polo resort into a compact festival where children and parents share the same dancefloor in daylight hours (children/family-friendly, suitable for groups). Organisers position the concept as a safe way for adults to enjoy proper club energy without late-night timings, while younger guests discover their first rave experience in a controlled space. DJs, lighting, decorations and kids’ activities work together so the event feels like a mini day festival rather than a simple playdate. The confirmed timing for this edition is Sunday 23 November from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Al Habtoor Polo Resort.
Family rave concept for all ages
FamilyBeatz grew from the idea that parents should not have to leave their children behind to enjoy dance music, so the organisers built a format where everyone joins in together. The music usually blends classic house, throwback anthems and mainstream favourites, which keeps both adults and older children engaged on the floor (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples). At the same time, younger kids can follow bubbles, chase balloons or join art corners instead of dancing for three hours straight. Because of this, the event attracts a wide mix of families, from seasoned clubbers with toddlers to first-time parents who simply want a different weekend outing. The atmosphere stays upbeat and energetic yet deliberately family-focused from start to finish.
Timings, tickets and age guidelines
Current listings and the FamilyBeatz “Next Event” section point clearly to Sunday 23 November 2025, with doors opening in time for a 3:00 PM start and the party wrapping up at 6:00 PM. Tickets on recent Dubai editions have started from approximately 150 AED per adult, although the exact bracket may vary slightly depending on release and any group packages offered. In some previous seasons, children under a certain age entered free with a paying adult, while other versions focused on kids aged 6 and above (children/family-friendly). Therefore it is always wise to check the stated age policy when you complete your purchase, especially if you plan to bring toddlers or teens. Treat 150 AED as an approximate adult ticket price and confirm the age rules at the time of booking.
Getting to Al Habtoor Polo Resort
Al Habtoor Polo Resort sits off Emirates Road in Wadi Al Safa 5, a short drive from many residential communities in Dubai but outside the Dubai Metro network. Consequently, most visitors will reach the event by private car, taxi or ride-hailing service rather than by public transport (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). From Downtown, Business Bay or Dubai Marina, drivers usually follow main highways such as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road or Al Ain Road before turning onto Emirates Road toward the resort. Because traffic often builds on these arteries by mid-afternoon, leaving home around 1:30 PM or 2:00 PM can reduce pre-event stress. Parking capacity is limited around peak arrival times, so plan to arrive early and consider sharing a car with friends or relatives.
Travelling from other emirates
Families coming from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or Ajman should treat FamilyBeatz as a half-day outing and plan accordingly. From Abu Dhabi, many drivers aim to leave between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM, which usually provides a comfortable buffer before any Sunday afternoon slowdowns on E11 and the approaches to Dubai. From Sharjah or Ajman, Emirates Road typically offers the most direct link to Al Habtoor Polo Resort, but it can still feel heavy around interchanges, especially when several events run on the same day (children/family-friendly, suitable for groups). Building in time for fuel, a quick break and any unexpected congestion often makes the journey more relaxed for children. If you travel from another emirate, avoid scheduling tight commitments after 6:00 PM so you can handle traffic and the return drive without pressure.
On-site activities and atmosphere
Once inside the resort grounds, families can expect a blend of dancefloor space, lawn areas and shaded chill zones, so children do not need to stand in one place for the entire three hours. DJs deliver upbeat sets while bubble machines, confetti moments and simple lighting effects keep the mood playful rather than intense (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples). Many editions include face painting, craft tables and small interactive games for kids, which allows adults a few minutes to chat or dance nearby while still supervising. Food and drink outlets usually serve casual snacks, soft drinks and, in designated spaces, beverages for adults. Think of FamilyBeatz as a compact, three-hour festival where shared family time matters more than hardcore clubbing.
Weather outlook and clothing advice
Late November in Dubai typically brings warm, dry afternoons with noticeably gentler temperatures than peak summer, and early forecasts for Sunday 23 November 2025 suggest daytime highs around the high twenties with clear or lightly hazy skies. During the 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM window it may still feel warm in the sun, although the intensity drops as the sun sinks, which suits an outdoor family event (children/family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Because of this, breathable clothing, light layers and comfortable footwear work better than anything heavy or restrictive. Many parents also bring caps for children, sunscreen for the first part of the afternoon and a light top in case the breeze picks up toward evening. Dress in light, breathable fabrics, use sun protection at the start and bring comfortable shoes suitable for dancing and walking.
Warnings, practical tips and journey home
For a smoother day, it helps to pack lightly: a small backpack with water, tissues, wet wipes, a portable fan and ear protection for very young children usually covers the essentials without slowing you down. Traffic around Al Habtoor Polo Resort can spike just before 3:00 PM as families converge on the gates and again shortly after 6:00 PM as cars leave together, so shared rides and pre-booked taxis often reduce waiting times (children/family-friendly, suitable for groups). Public transport remains limited around this location, therefore driving or ride-hailing will almost certainly be your main option, and any parking or food add-ons should be treated as “approximately” priced because venues may adjust rates on busy event days. Book your tickets early, arrive ahead of the 3:00 PM start and allow extra time for parking and the return journey, especially if you are coming from another emirate. As the editorial team behind www.few.ae often notes in their event coverage, families who treat gatherings like FamilyBeatz as a full afternoon experience rather than a quick stop tend to enjoy the music, the setting and the journey home far more.
