Dubai Opera will host Hatim Ammor and Dounia Batma on Wednesday, 14 January 2026, with doors at 7:00 pm and the show at 7:30 pm. You can reach the venue at Dubai Opera, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, Downtown Dubai, Dubai, or call the box office on 04 440 8888. Tickets currently start at approximately 350 AED, and seating gets pricier closer to the stage. Meanwhile, the runtime will likely take you to around 9:30 pm, although encores can shift that slightly. Arrive before 7:30 pm to avoid entry delays.
The venue and how to arrive smoothly
If you drive, follow the Dubai Opera signs and use the P3 basement parking entrance on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, close to the Opera District approach. Also, you can skip Downtown parking stress by taking the Red Line Metro to Burj Khalifa Metro Station, then walking about 25 minutes toward Dubai Opera. If you prefer buses, you can get off near Dubai Mall and continue on foot along Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. So, taxis and ride-hailing still work well, especially if you plan a drop-off slightly before 7:00 pm. Parking capacity is limited.
A quick artist introduction
Hatim Ammor and Dounia Batma bring a Moroccan-led pop energy to a hall known for theatre and classical nights, so the contrast often feels refreshing (suitable for couples, also solo-friendly). Dounia Batma rose across the region after her Arab Idol breakthrough, and she is known for powerful, emotive vocals in modern Arabic pop. Meanwhile, Hatim Ammor’s catalogue leans catchy and contemporary, and his live sets often mix danceable hooks with softer ballad moments. Also, when these sounds land in a grand venue, the atmosphere usually turns cinematic rather than club-like. Expect a modern Moroccan pop feel with strong singalong moments.
Ticket and entry options
Most people book through PLATINUMLIST, while the DUBAI OPERA BOX OFFICE remains a solid option if you want staff support. Ticket delivery is usually simple because mobile or print-at-home tickets typically scan at the door, so you can avoid a box office queue. However, if you plan to collect tickets, the box office hours are commonly around late morning through evening, and you’ll find it at the Opera Plaza side of the venue. Also, Dubai Opera can apply a latecomer policy, so arriving after 7:30 pm may mean waiting for a suitable pause. Latecomers may need to wait until a break.
Plan your evening around Downtown Dubai
Because the show sits in the heart of Downtown Dubai, you can build your night in a few ways without rushing (family-friendly for older kids, and comfortable for small groups). If you like a calm entry, aim to be nearby by 6:30 pm, then take an easy walk around the Opera District before doors open. Alternatively, if you want to minimise traffic risk, arrive earlier, park, and spend time around the nearby promenades until 7:00 pm. After the concert, you can leave immediately to beat the first wave, or linger briefly so pick-ups get easier. Give yourself extra time for Downtown Dubai traffic.
Coming in from Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
If you’re coming from Abu Dhabi, the most straightforward approach is Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) toward Downtown Dubai, then follow the exits that feed Burj Khalifa and Financial Center Road before connecting to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. Meanwhile, if you’re coming from Sharjah, you can approach via the main Dubai corridors and then follow signs toward Downtown and the Opera District. So, for a 7:00 pm door time, a sensible target is reaching the Downtown area by about 6:30 pm, even if you plan to use taxis for the last stretch. Also, for the return trip, consider setting your pickup a short walk away from the tightest congestion points if you rely on ride-hailing. Aim to be in Downtown Dubai by 6:30 pm.
Warnings and tips for Wednesday 14 January
Weather in Dubai on Wednesday, 14 January 2026 is typically mild in the evening, so a light layer can feel comfortable after 9:00 pm. Also, wear comfortable shoes if you plan the Metro walk, since the route from Burj Khalifa Metro Station can take around 25 minutes. Because Downtown traffic spikes before showtime, arriving earlier than 7:00 pm usually makes parking and drop-offs smoother, and valet options may exist but pricing and availability can vary by night. Ticket and door prices may change and should be treated as approximately, especially if you compare different seating zones late. In notes prepared in the style used by www.few.ae, the simplest plan is to book early and build buffer time for Downtown bottlenecks. Buy your ticket early and plan your route before you leave.
