CouCou Dubai is preparing another glittering Monday for the city’s nightlife calendar as its Opulence dinner party returns on Monday 17 November 2025, running from 20:00 to 02:00 on the rooftop of Palm Tower. Perched on Level 52 above Nakheel Mall, the venue overlooks Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai Marina skyline, turning the dinner service into a high-altitude spectacle. The Opulence concept has grown into a weekly staple, blending fine dining, live performances and late-night party energy in one tightly curated evening. On Monday 17 November 2025 the Opulence edition at CouCou Dubai is scheduled from 20:00 until 02:00, carrying guests into the early hours of Tuesday 18 November.
Rooftop setting above Palm Jumeirah
The dinner party unfolds inside CouCou’s glass-fronted rooftop restaurant, which wraps around the top of Palm Tower with almost uninterrupted 360-degree views. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the fronds of Palm Jumeirah and the distant city towers while a warm, golden interior palette keeps the space firmly in “festive restaurant” territory rather than a traditional nightclub. The venue sits on Level 52 at The View at The Palm, above Nakheel Mall in Palm Jumeirah, making it an easy landmark for taxi drivers and ride-hailing apps. Soft lighting, plush sofas and a central bar create plenty of corners for couples, birthday tables and small groups to settle in for the evening. The restaurant is a fully indoor, air-conditioned rooftop space, so the Opulence party runs comfortably regardless of outdoor temperatures.
Opulence Mondays as a dinner party concept
Opulence Mondays are marketed as a “festive burlesque party dinner experience,” with dinner tables at the heart of the evening rather than a standard standing-room club night. Expect choreographed shows, dancers moving between the tables and a soundtrack that gradually lifts from dinner-time house and lounge into more upbeat party sets toward midnight. The mood is upscale but playful, with a strong emphasis on glamour, photo moments and champagne-centered celebrations. Regulars describe Monday nights as high-energy and often fully booked, especially later in the season when the winter crowd arrives. Because of the late timing and show style, this Monday Opulence dinner party is best treated as an adults-only night out (suitable for couples and small groups).
Menu style, drinks and price expectations
CouCou’s kitchen leans toward French and Mediterranean dishes, with sharing plates, grilled seafood, premium meats and visually dramatic desserts appearing frequently on the tables. Signature cocktails, a wide wine list and champagne service anchor the drinks program, while shisha is available in selected lounge areas for those who want to stretch the evening. Reviews and listings suggest that an ordinary à la carte dinner for two comes to around AED 520 before drinks, while individual cocktails often sit in the AED 70 to AED 100 bracket, depending on the recipe and brand. For Opulence Mondays specifically, booking platforms have listed special “Opulence – Special Night” experiences at about AED 1,000 per person, highlighting the premium nature of the show and menu combination. Guests should therefore plan for a total spend of approximately AED 600 to AED 1,200 per person for a full Opulence evening, depending on drink choices and any special packages, and all these amounts should be treated as approximate and subject to change.
Timings, flow of the evening and music
On Monday 17 November 2025 doors will open at 20:00, in line with CouCou’s usual evening schedule, with the room starting in relaxed dinner mode. Early guests can settle in with sunset-adjacent views over the Palm and Dubai Marina before the main entertainment takes over closer to 22:00. As the night progresses, music volume and tempo rise, turning the venue into more of a rooftop party while still keeping guests seated at their tables or moving between them rather than forming a classic dance floor. Mondays are described as “every week” events for Opulence, so regulars may find themed nights or guest performers woven into the program on different dates. Peak party energy typically runs between about 22:30 and 01:00, with last drinks and goodbyes following as the venue approaches its 02:00 closing time for this Opulence edition.
Reservations, dress code and entry details
Opulence Mondays rely heavily on advance reservations, and both CouCou and Opulence social channels display clear booking contacts, including +971 4 565 3244 for the venue and +971 52 451 2188 for the Opulence team. Tables are typically assigned in advance, and reservations may be held for a limited window, so guests are advised not to arrive significantly late. While general listings mention “no minimum spend” at some times of day, booking platforms also note that minimum spends may apply depending on the evening, especially for special experiences such as Opulence. Dress codes are broadly “smart casual” by default, yet Monday Opulence nights tend to push many guests toward cocktail dresses, heels, shirts and tailored trousers. Because of the premium positioning and potential minimum spends, guests should always reconfirm reservation terms and approximate prices directly with the venue before Monday 17 November 2025.
How to reach Palm Tower and get back home
The dinner party takes place at The View at The Palm, Level 52, Palm Tower, directly above Nakheel Mall on Palm Jumeirah, which gives visitors several transport options. For those coming from within Dubai, taxis and ride-hailing services remain the simplest choice; a ride from Dubai Marina usually takes around 15 minutes outside peak traffic, while Downtown Dubai can require 25 to 35 minutes, with fares starting from approximately AED 30 to AED 70 depending on distance and time of day. Guests who prefer public transport can use the Dubai Metro Red Line to reach Al Khail or Dubai Internet City stations, then transfer by taxi or tram toward Palm Gateway before continuing on the Palm Monorail to Nakheel Mall, which connects directly to Palm Tower. Because late-night public transport options from Palm Jumeirah can be limited after midnight, many Opulence guests choose taxis for their return journey, especially after 01:00.
Arrivals from other Emirates
Visitors making the trip from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or other Emirates should factor in evening traffic on the E11 highway and around Dubai Internet City in particular. In normal conditions, the drive from central Abu Dhabi to Palm Jumeirah takes roughly 70 to 90 minutes, while Sharjah to Palm Jumeirah can range from 45 to 75 minutes depending on weekday congestion around Sheikh Zayed Road. Leaving Abu Dhabi between 16:30 and 17:00 or Sharjah before 18:00 usually provides enough buffer to reach Palm Tower by 20:00, park or hand over to valet and still enjoy a relaxed start to dinner. For those driving back the same night, returning after 01:00 generally means lighter traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, although drivers should still plan rest stops and avoid fatigue on the journey home.
Parking, access and on-site logistics
Palm Tower guests can access parking via Nakheel Mall, with valet services also available at the tower for visitors who prefer to hand over the car on arrival. However, Monday evenings in high season can bring a mix of mall shoppers, hotel guests and restaurant diners, so it is wise to allow additional time to navigate the mall car park or valet queue, particularly around 19:30 to 21:00. Those arriving by monorail or tram will generally enter through Nakheel Mall and then follow signs to The View at The Palm and Palm Tower elevators up to Level 52. Because parking capacity and valet queues can build quickly on busy nights, arriving at least 30 minutes before your reservation time is strongly recommended (suitable for couples, groups and solo visitors).
Weather, clothing and practical late-night tips
Mid-November evenings in Dubai are usually warm but much more comfortable than the summer high season, with forecast temperatures for Monday 17 November 2025 around 28 degrees Celsius early in the evening and sliding toward the mid-20s by midnight, under partly cloudy skies and a low risk of rain. Light, breathable fabrics work well for the walk through Nakheel Mall and any outdoor moments at ground level, yet the indoor rooftop itself is air-conditioned, so a light jacket or shawl can be useful if you feel the chill after midnight. High heels and dress shoes are common inside CouCou, although guests may appreciate choosing pairs that are comfortable enough for standing and moving between tables once the show heats up. Drivers should keep an eye on E11 traffic updates before leaving, while those relying on taxis after 02:00 should request a car a little before closing time to avoid delays at the tower entrance. Ticketed experiences and minimum spends for Opulence Mondays, including approximate amounts such as AED 1,000 per person for special packages, can change closer to the night depending on demand and programming. Make your reservation early, double-check prices closer to Monday 17 November 2025, and follow the latest guidance from the CouCou Dubai team or updates shared by the editor at www.few.ae so that your Opulence Monday runs smoothly from first toast to last song.
