Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience

Great atmosphere but long queues for drinks Amazing vibe and energy! Ushuaïa Dubai is the place to be if you love great music, luxury atmosphere, and an unforgettable crowd. The DJs and the whole setup feel world-class, and the place is perfect for a night out with friends. However, one star off because of the long queues just to buy water — it really takes away from the experience when you have to wait so long for something so basic. Still, overall it’s one of the best nightlife spots in Dubai!

Bad. We had VIP table. - You cant order beer and wine (we paid 20k for a table) - We came early and wanted to move tables closer . They asked from us 10k on top to to do it. - I asked waiter if they have beers and wines as I don’t drink spirits and i don’t like that champagne being presented plus overpriced. He said no we don’t have. So we ended up going ourselves to the bar and guess what THERE WERE BEERS AND WINES. hahaha i done it myself even we paid 20k for a table. I MEAN WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK. - Tables and sofas are dirty… - Crowd and what was going on there is ridiculous. AND OF COURSE COMING AND GOING DISASTER. Traffic jams , people charging 500 aed for a lift. ALL THIS RUINED EXPERIENCE.

Anyma Concert Review – October 30 I attended the Anyma concert on October 30. The performance itself was outstanding and musically everything was on point. However, a few major issues affected the overall experience. The biggest problem was access and traffic management. My ticket was for 9 PM, yet the traffic was so overwhelming that I had to walk nearly 4 kilometers just to reach the venue. The same situation happened on the way back, and once again I had to walk a long distance before I could find any way to return home. It felt like there was no proper planning for transporting such a large crowd to a venue of that size, neither for arrival nor for departure. Another issue was the high prices of water, food and snacks inside the venue, which were noticeably above normal rates. I had a General Audience ticket, so I spent the entire concert standing. That part is understandable since it’s part of the ticket conditions, but worth mentioning for context. Overall: • Anyma’s performance: Excellent • Venue access, traffic and logistics: Poor • On-site prices: High • Final rating: 3 out of 5

Very organized, most staff including security were friendly. As expected, sound & light were top quality. Two issues, expensive drinks (AED35 for a bottle of water) and difficult to find a taxi due to the huge crowd so we did a lot of walking. A little massage stand would have been great :)

Dubai harbor truly sets the standard for live entertainment in the UAE. The sound quality, stage design, and lighting are top, and the organization is smooth from ticketing to crowd control. The energy in the crowd is electric, especially during major international performances. The venues are surrounded by restaurants, hotels, and fun attractions, making it the perfect entertainment destination. If you’re a fan of live music, this is a must-visit for concerts in the region.

Been there for Anyma. Incredible experience!! Others complained about food, toilets, the venue itself. I can’t confirm any of these complaints: everything was well-organized. Sound quality was amazing, lightshow great and we missed nearly nothing. Bad: water selling machines were not working and billed my credit card without giving me the bottle. And after the event the traffic was quite a mess.

The venue offers a spacious open-air area, ideal for festivals, DJ concerts, and large gatherings. However, I found the pricing quite unreasonable. For example, a bottle of Havana Rum that costs 60 AED in stores was significantly overpriced. I understand you’re also paying for the atmosphere, service, and experience—but in this case, it didn’t justify the cost. My friends invited me, and we had a reserved table with couches. While that was a nice touch, the seating already had burn marks from cigarettes, which detracted from the overall luxury vibe they were trying to present. The ground was covered in gravel, which made walking difficult—especially if you’re wearing heels or nice shoes. It’s definitely not practical for standing areas and could be uncomfortable for guests. There was a food court and a few bars, and the waitress serving us was polite and friendly. However, the head waiter in our area was quite agitated and even shouted at someone for placing a vase with ice on the ground, which felt unnecessarily aggressive. As for the music, it was decent but didn’t stand out. The staff at the entrance were strict and borderline rude, and the “gold seat” section didn’t live up to expectations—it was sectioned off by a piece of dark fabric and nails, which felt more DIY than premium. Overall, the place didn’t deliver the luxurious or high-end experience it promotes—especially considering the prices.

We went there for Francois Mercier performance. The place is a huge open air club with different type of tickets (standing, VIP or tables). The place is well organized with a lot of staff, specially security. That kind of party place, the atmosphere starts after midnight.
