Dubai is full of high-profile attraction spots. There are skyscrapers towering above the clouds, thirty-five man-made islands in the shape of Palm Islands, and an indoor ski slope set right in the heart of the desert. But then, every so often, you stumble upon something that hits differently. If you’re looking for an experience with art, adrenaline rush and sheer magic- La Perle by Dragone is your pass!
If you’re traveling to Dubai and love immersive entertainment or a break from shopping malls and desert tours, La Perle is a must. You don’t have to be a theatre buff to appreciate what goes down here. It’s more than just a show—it’s a jaw-dropping, heart-racing experience that sticks with you long after the curtain falls (figuratively—there’s no curtain here).
Let’s walk you through everything you need to know before booking those tickets.
What Is La Perle?
Imagine a show that blends Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics, aerial stunts, high-speed motorcycle action, and breathtaking water effects—then take that up ten notches. That’s La Perle Dubai.
Created by Franco Dragone, the mind behind several of Cirque du Soleil’s most iconic productions, La Perle is a permanent theatrical show based in Dubai’s Al Habtoor City. The act is conducted within an aqua theatre specially constructed to wow audiences with stunning dives from heights that seem unimaginable. It also incorporates a trace of Middle Eastern inspiration, adding to the whole experience.
The narrative is otherworldly. There is no linear plot. The whole act is a visual story that is narrated using different mediums like music, lights, water, and movement. Each show lasts about 90 minutes without intermission. Besides, it’s fully non-verbal, so it’s open for visitors from any country to enjoy it.
Where Is La Perle Located?
La Perle is docked in Al Habtoor City, right in the heart of Dubai along the famous Sheikh Zayed Road. This upscale area houses luxury hotels like the Habtoor Palace, V Hotel, and Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor City, as well as a few dining and nightlife spots.
Getting There
- By Metro:
Take the Red Line and get off at Business Bay Metro Station. It’s about a 15-20-minute walk or a short cab ride from there.
- By Car:
You can park at The Atrium or V Hotel valet area. Parking is usually free for show guests—just make sure to validate your ticket.
- By Taxi/Uber:
Simply say “La Perle” or “Al Habtoor City” and your driver will know the way. It’s centrally located and hard to miss.
How to Book Tickets for La Perle
Booking tickets is easy and can be done online or at the box office.
Types of Tickets:
La Perle offers a range of seating options. The theatre has 270-degree views, so no seat is “bad”—but the closer you are to the center, the more immersive it gets.
- Bronze (AED 200–250)– The most affordable seats; somewhat further away, but still excellent sight.
- Silver (AED 300–350)– Ideal for budget-conscious patrons who would like a decent seat position.

Timings
La Perle lights up the stage twice a night, five days a week—so you’ve got options, but a little planning goes a long way.
- Regular schedule: Tuesday to Saturday
- Showtimes: 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM
There are no shows on Sundays and Mondays, so make sure you don’t plan your visit on those days. Doors usually open about 30 to 45 minutes before the show starts. It’s a good idea to get there early—gives you time to grab a drink or a snack, settle into your seat without the stress, and just take in the vibe of the theatre before the magic begins.
Nearby Dining Options:
- Zoco – Latin-American food with a lively vibe.
- City Grill – Great steaks and South African fare.
- Il Pastaio – Upscale Italian with a romantic feel.
- Blind Dragon – Asian cuisine with a karaoke twist.
- Level Seven – Mediterranean buffet inside V Hotel.
Dress Code
There’s no strict dress code, but people usually show up in smart casual outfits. You don’t have to go full glam, but maybe skip the flip-flops and beachwear. If you’re coming straight from a fancy dinner, you’ll fit right in.
Tips For Visitors
1. Book Ahead – Seriously
La Perle is incredibly popular, and tickets do sell out—especially on weekends or during the busy tourist season (think November to March). If you’ve got your heart set on a specific date or good seats, don’t wait. Booking early not only lets you secure a spot, but also lets you bag early bird offers.
2. Bundle Up and Save
Staying close by? Several hotels in the La Perle area have stay-and-show packages. It’s an intelligent idea to bundle everything together—your hotel room, the show, perhaps some bells and whistles—all for a better price than buying it all separately. Definitely worth checking out if you want a hassle-free night out.
3. Stay Close
To miss traffic or driving late at night, reserve a room in V Hotel, Hilton Dubai Al Habtoor, or Habtoor Palace, all within walking distance.
4. Plan Dinner Smartly
Give yourself at least 90 minutes for dinner if you’re eating before the show. Restaurants at The Atrium tend to get busy pre-show.
5. Grab a Drink (If You Like)
There are several licensed venues nearby if you’re up for a drink post-show. The theatre itself also sells soft drinks, popcorn, and light snacks.
6. Respect the Rules
No flash photography, video recording, or live streaming during the performance. It’s not just about etiquette—it’s for the performers’ safety too.
