The Dubai Opera is located in Downtown Dubai, next to the Burj Khalifa Lake. It is a 10' walk to the Dubai Mall metro station (red line). The tour leaves from the Box Office.

Instructions & Recommendations

There are 3 departure time per day: 12h00, 14h00, and 16h00. Best to book in advance as space is limited. We recommend combining this activity with the Downtown complex, be it the Aquarium, the Burj Khalifa observation deck or the Dubai Mall.

Meta review

There are not many reviews about the tour itself but, based on our research, visitors were complimentary about the guide's knowledge and satisfied with their experience

Environmental & Social

Besides the use of air-conditioning, this activity is quite neutral both from an environmental and social standpoint

Conclusion

This tour is recommended for those who have a genuine interest in the arts and backstage operations or enjoy discovering anything new, however left field it might be. If you fall in these categories and are planning to be in the area, this is an interesting activity to add in your itinerary - if you can stomach the price, which we find baffling.

Central location

Key negative

Tours run at specific times

Very expensive for what it is

Theoretically suitable for all ages but we would not advise bringing kids under 10-12 years old. It is unclear if visitors with mobility issues can attend the tour so best to check in advance as there might be some stairs
