Artists Profiles

• Ramy Sabry is one of Egypt’s most enduring romantic pop stars. Born in Cairo in 1978, he launched his career in 2006 and has since released several successful albums. His brand‑new album Ana Bahebak Enta (I Love You), released in July 2025, features ten fresh tracks exploring themes of love and healing, and was teased widely on his official social media last month.
• Maha Ftouni, hailing from Beirut, Lebanon, brings a warm, soulful presence to Arabic pop. Best known for her hit singles like “El Sabr Gamel” and “Ma Tealaashi”, she blends traditional Arab melodies with contemporary rhythms and heartfelt lyrics. She is poised to round out the concert with both classics and selections from her newer releases.

Getting There & Logistics

Dubai World Trade Centre is easily accessible from across the city:

• Red Line metro: the adjacent World Trade Centre station (Metro code 22, Zone 6) stops just metres from the venue—a frequent, air‑conditioned service .
• Taxi or ride‑hailing: both Dubai Taxi (starting fare ~Dhs 5 or 12 if pre‑booked) and apps like Careem or Uber offer drop‑off points at Trade Centre Plaza or Arena Gate. Most drivers know the location ‑ it’s one of the city’s busiest hubs.
• Driving & parking: DWTC provides over 7,500 parking spaces, with a mix of free and paid lots, and electric‑vehicle charging available. Entry is directly off Sheikh Zayed Road, with signs directing to the event car parks.

Note on arrival: aim to arrive by 19:15 to allow time for ticket scans (mobile tickets only), bathroom lines, and a relaxed seating experience before the show begins.

Expected Weather & Conditions

Late August in Dubai is still brutally hot. On 30 August, expect daytime highs near 40–41 °C (104–106 °F) and night lows around 30 °C (86 °F), with humidity levels between 60 %–80 % making the heat feel even more intense. Rain is virtually nonexistent, but UV exposure is extreme during daylight hours. However, since Sheikh Rashid Hall is fully air‑conditioned, the interior should be comfortable—but attendees often feel the heat immediately before entering, so wearing breathable clothing and staying hydrated is essential.

What to Expect: Show Experience

Tickets from Dhs 165 include standard seating and basic access, while higher‑tier tickets up to Dhs 900 offer VIP placement and close‑up views of the stage. Though no specific opening act is listed, Ramy Sabry typically performs at least 30–45 minutes of new material, followed by his chart topping hits, while Maha Ftouni delivers sets that blend her signature tunes with emotional fan‑favourites. The two artists may perform duets or toasts together—a trend in recent live shows on the Arabic music circuit.

Food and beverages are sold on‑site during intermissions and before the show, but outside professional cameras, banners or flagpoles, and re‑entry are prohibited, so check the event rules in advance Platinumlist Dubai.

Final Notes

This concert arrives at the tail end of Dubai Summer Surprises, and while outdoor attractions may feel oppressive in late August heat, Summer Nights offers a climate‑controlled, culturally rich evening—accessible, celebrated, and sharply curated. With the booming popularity of both performers across the MENA region, plus Ramy Sabry’s latest album drop, the show is positioned as one of the season’s hallmark Arab nights.

Tickets are already on sale via Platinumlist’s official platform. If you plan to attend, book early—capacity is capped by the hall layout—and consider metro access and ironing out F&B needs before arrival. Regardless, the evening promises powerful vocals, soaring melodies, and the unmistakable buzz of Arab pop at its peak.
