AtLa Perle by Dragone, you’ll be immersed in the performance, with 270-degree views of the state-of-the-art stage as waterfalls and torrents flood it and drain in a matter of seconds. A one-of-a-kind live show, the story is inspired by the spirit of Dubai’s past, present, and future.
Book your tickets in advance to guarantee your choice of seats and show timing. Some multiattraction sightseeing passes offer discounted entry. You can upgrade to a ticket package that includes dinner at a nearby restaurant or, for a hassle-free experience, book a package that includes round-trip transfers. Another option combines show tickets with a canal cruise on a classic Arabian dhow.

La Perle is staged in the heart of Al Habtoor City in central Dubai. There’s direct access from Sheikh Zayed Road, with parking available on-site, and taxis are readily available. It’s also within walking distance of Dubai Water Canal.
Shows are held twice a day from Tuesday to Saturday, with an additional early afternoon showing on Saturday. Guests are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to showtime. Latecomers may be seated in different seats or at a suitable break to avoid disrupting other guests.
La Perle was created by Franco Dragone, an artistic and theater director known for his use of aquatic stages and a distinctive blend of theater and dance. One of the creators of Cirque du Soleil, Dragone is also the creative force behind the spectaclesLe Rêve in Las Vegas andThe House of Dancing Water in Macau.
