A close range mentalism night in Deira
This show leans into shared perception, influence, and intuition, so you’ll feel the “how did that happen” moments from very close range. Because the format thrives on audience energy, you’ll get the best experience when you arrive settled, not rushed. The ballroom setting keeps it intimate rather than arena-loud, and that helps the interactive beats land naturally. If you’re choosing a night out during Ramadan season, this kind of theatre-style programme usually fits well after Iftar plans (suitable for couples, friends, solo).
Who Yasas is on stage
Yasas performs under the “Yasas the Mentalist” banner and also works with KNIGHT of ILLUSIONS, the production identity tied to his Dubai shows. In addition, he has delivered a TED talk, which hints at how much he cares about perception and modern “magic” as a craft, not just a trick. So expect a performance built around psychology, attention, and audience choices, not big props. Meanwhile, his branding in the UAE positions him as an influence specialist and mentalist, which matches the show’s themes. If you’re bringing someone who loves interactive theatre, they’ll likely enjoy the participation-first style (best for adults and older teens, depending on your comfort level).
Ticket choices and the way the night runs
The listed entry point starts at approximately AED 140, and pricing can move up with seating and availability. Importantly, the ticket includes the buffet dinner at the end of the performance, plus soft beverages, so the evening doesn’t end when the curtain moment finishes. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the show starts at 7:15 PM, which usually means you should arrive early enough to clear hotel checks, find the ballroom entrance, and settle in comfortably. Also, if you have dietary preferences, calling the hotel in advance helps because buffet stations vary night to night. As a simple plan, aim to arrive around 6:30 PM to 6:45 PM, then you won’t feel squeezed by traffic or last-minute parking.
Getting there smoothly from anywhere in Dubai
If you drive, GPS navigation helps because Deira has multiple slip roads, and the City Centre Deira area can stack up around weekend evenings. The venue sits within Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, which also connects conveniently to the wider Deira City Centre zone, so you’ll see clear signage once you approach Port Saeed Road. However, parking can tighten quickly near showtime, especially with mall visitors, so arriving earlier makes a real difference. If you prefer public transport, take the Dubai Metro Red Line to City Centre Deira Metro Station, then walk roughly seven minutes for the shortest route. Meanwhile, taxis and ride-hailing apps work well for a clean drop-off at the hotel entrance, especially if you want to skip parking entirely (great for couples, groups).
Arrival and return ideas from nearby Emirates
If you’re coming from Abu Dhabi, the simplest plan is to leave mid-afternoon so you avoid the heaviest Dubai entry build-up, then park and decompress before doors open. In practice, traffic can swing widely, so allow approximately 90 to 120 minutes each way on a weekend evening, especially around Deira. If you’re coming from Sharjah, you can often do it as a straightforward evening run, but the approaches into Deira can still slow down, so leaving earlier keeps the night relaxed. Because the show includes dinner after the performance, your return will likely land late evening, so consider having a driver, using a ride-hailing pickup, or planning a nearby overnight stay if you dislike late highway runs (solo, couples).
Practical closing notes for Saturday night
Saturday, February 21 looks bright and warm, with plenty of sun and a daytime high around 30°C, while the evening can feel noticeably cooler near 19°C, so bring a light layer for the walk and indoor air-conditioning. The most important move is to arrive early, because Deira City Centre traffic and parking pressure rise sharply after 6:30 PM. If you want the least stress, use the Metro to City Centre Deira Station and walk, or take a taxi and plan a pickup point for later. Ticket and door prices can change, so treat all pricing as “approximately,” and buy through reliable platforms like PLATINUMLIST when you’re ready. Finally, as the www.few.ae team often notes in their Dubai weekend coverage, a calm arrival plan usually matters as much as the show itself.
