On Saturday 6 December 2025, Atlantis, The Palm will stage a triple bill of Arabic music as Saber Rebai, Yara and Al Shami headline the Atlantis Dubai Festival at the open air Asateer venue. Doors are planned to open at 19:00, with the main programme due to start from 20:00, giving fans a full evening on Palm Jumeirah. As part of a wider three night festival of regional stars running from 4 to 6 December, this closing show is expected to be one of the most in demand dates of the series. Ticket listings currently show prices starting from approximately 195 AED for the 6 December concert, with higher categories reaching much higher figures for premium experiences. Overall, this is an adult oriented evening, with most areas set up for couples and groups of friends rather than young families (mainly suitable for couples and groups).
Arabic stars sharing the same Atlantis night
Saber Rebai arrives in Dubai as a long established Tunisian icon, often introduced as the Prince of Arabic Music thanks to classics like Sidi Mansour and other favourites. Meanwhile, Lebanese singer Yara brings a softer, romantic sound, known for elegant ballads and polished pop arrangements that have travelled widely across the region. Additionally, Al Shami represents a more contemporary wave, blending modern production with emotive vocals that resonate strongly with younger audiences. Together they create a line up that spans classic, romantic and modern Arabic styles in one night, giving fans several different moods within a single programme. For most visitors this mix makes the show ideal for couples, small groups and dedicated music followers rather than very young children (suitable for couples, friends, solo fans; limited options for families).
Asateer open air venue and festival setting
The concert takes place at Asateer, the dedicated waterfront event space on the seafront side of Atlantis, The Palm, laid out with sweeping arches and views towards the Arabian Gulf. During major occasions Asateer can accommodate large audiences across indoor and outdoor sections, with different zones arranged in front of a central stage. Moreover, the open air layout means guests experience the music beneath the evening sky rather than in an enclosed hall, which adds to the atmosphere. However, lighting and sound systems are typically full scale, so the production values feel close to a large arena show. Expect a polished concert environment with the added atmosphere of Palm Jumeirah’s waterfront setting. As always with popular Atlantis events, security screening and access lanes will be in place at the venue entrance.
Timings and programme flow for 6 December
Official schedules list Saturday 6 December 2025 with doors at 19:00 and the show starting at 20:00, so the main flow of the night is firmly in the evening prime time slot. Typically, guests first clear security and ticket checks, then move into their seated or standing zones while warm up music plays and the venue fills gradually. Additionally, each artist is expected to perform a dedicated set, with short technical breaks between them, giving plenty of time for Rebai’s classics, Yara’s romantic hits and Al Shami’s newer tracks. While exact running order is not formally detailed, multi artist bills at this venue usually keep the momentum moving with minimal gaps. Plan to stay until late evening if you want to experience all three performers without rushing away. Because it is a one night only date, there is no second chance later in the weekend.
Ticket categories and how pricing works
Ticket sellers list prices for this specific night starting from approximately 195 AED for the more distant categories, with higher zones climbing significantly depending on proximity to the stage and included services. Furthermore, the wider festival is advertised with packages that can reach several thousand dirhams when you factor in premium seating and bundled experiences, so there is clearly a spread between regular and top tier options. In parallel, separate three night stay offers at Atlantis, The Palm combine a room with access to the concerts on 4, 5 and 6 December, aimed at fans who want a full festival style weekend. Because seat allocation in such packages may depend on room category, guests who care about being close to the stage should double check what is included before confirming. For budget conscious visitors, the key is to lock in one of the early standard categories before they sell out. Remember that all prices are listed in AED and can shift slightly as demand increases, so treat them as approximately correct rather than fixed.
Age limits, security rules and onsite policies
Most sections of the event are expected to be restricted to guests aged 21 and above, with any more flexible zones clearly marked on the seating chart, so families with teenagers need to read the information carefully. In addition, organisers generally state that children can stay at the hotel under certain packages, but concert entry itself is essentially treated as an adults only evening for the majority of areas. Security guidelines usually prohibit outside food and beverages, and once you exit the venue there is no re entry, which means planning any smoke or phone breaks around the schedule. Bags larger than roughly a small backpack are typically not permitted and there is no cloakroom, so it is better to arrive with small crossbody bags or pockets only. Ticket terms often note that sales are non refundable and non transferable, and that guests may be asked to show photo ID and, if relevant, the payment card used for purchase at the gate. Anyone who ignores security instructions risks being denied entry or removed from the venue, so it pays to read the conditions in advance.
Arriving from within Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah
Atlantis, The Palm sits at the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, on Crescent Road, with the main hotel contact number listed as +971 4 426 2000, so most guests will arrive by car or taxi rather than walking. Event information for similar shows at Asateer usually notes that parking for concertgoers is very limited or redirected, and strongly recommends using taxi or ride hailing services instead of driving directly to the entrance. Consequently, it makes sense to book a return car in advance or use apps to arrange pickup from the designated drop off areas after the show. From central Dubai districts like Downtown, Business Bay or Dubai Marina, the drive to Palm Jumeirah typically takes 20 to 35 minutes depending on evening traffic. Additionally, some fans may prefer to take the metro to a station on Sheikh Zayed Road and then transfer to a taxi, or use the Palm Monorail from Gateway station up to the Atlantis stop for a scenic approach. Whichever route you choose, aim to reach the resort at least 60 to 90 minutes before the 20:00 start time to clear security comfortably.
For visitors travelling from Abu Dhabi, the drive along the E11 motorway usually takes around 75 to 90 minutes in normal conditions, so leaving between 15:00 and 16:00 on Saturday gives a buffer for weekend traffic near Dubai Marina and the Palm access bridges. Meanwhile, guests coming from Sharjah or Ajman should factor in potential congestion through Deira and along Sheikh Zayed Road, which can push the journey close to one hour at peak times. If you prefer not to drive back late at night, staying overnight at a hotel on Palm Jumeirah or near Dubai Marina can be a practical alternative and turns the concert into a full mini break (suitable for couples and small groups from other emirates). Even for those returning home the same night, planning the route in advance and sharing the live location with your driver can help avoid confusion among the resort’s different drop off points.
Pre show dining and surrounding experiences
Because the event sits inside a wider three night festival at one of Dubai’s best known resorts, the atmosphere around Atlantis is expected to feel busy well before the doors open. Guests can eat at the many restaurants and lounges spread around the property, or choose quicker bites near Aquaventure and the promenade before heading to Asateer. Additionally, those holding hotel stay packages might schedule an earlier dinner so they can enter the venue as soon as doors open without rushing. As with many large shows, bar service and light snacks are likely to be available inside or near the concert zones, but outside food is not allowed, so finishing meals beforehand is safer. Expect higher than usual demand for restaurant tables and taxis across Palm Jumeirah on the evening of Saturday 6 December 2025, especially between 18:00 and 20:00. If dining is a priority, booking restaurants several days in advance is strongly recommended.
Weather, clothing and event day warnings
Early December evenings in Dubai are generally mild and pleasant, and the forecast for Saturday 6 December currently points towards clear or slightly hazy conditions, with temperatures peaking around 28 to 29°C before easing to roughly 24 to 26°C during the evening hours. As a result, light breathable clothing with a thin layer for later at night should feel comfortable, especially as the open air setting near the sea can bring a gentle breeze. Comfortable closed shoes are advisable because you may spend long periods standing, walking between zones or queuing at bars and facilities. Traffic is likely to be heaviest on the roads to Palm Jumeirah from around 17:30 onwards and again when the show finishes, so arranging a pick up point and agreeing a meeting time with your driver in advance can save stress. Make your reservation and travel arrangements early, because both tickets and preferred arrival slots tend to disappear quickly on big concert nights. As editors at www.few.ae often remind readers, treat these timings, access rules and approximately stated ticket or door prices as a helpful guide rather than a rigid promise, and double check key details again closer to Saturday 6 December 2025.
