The weekly programme
The club opens every day, but two points anchor the week: Ladies Night midweek and the weekend events on Friday and Saturday.
Every night
DJ sets, stage dance performances and aerial acrobatic shows, with the club open from 5:00 PM to 5:00 AM.
Midweek: Ladies Night
Commercial house, R&B and Afrobeats, with selected offers or experiences for women that vary by date.
Friday: weekend event
After-work energy that develops into a full late-night event as the DJ raises the pace.
Saturday: weekend event
A night that often draws groups celebrating birthdays, holidays and special weekends in Dubai.
No dates or performer names are published here, because the club confirms them per event. The full Ladies Night page covers the midweek night, and the team on WhatsApp can share this weekend's schedule.
Friday and Saturday nights
Weekend events are planned as complete nights rather than identical weekly sessions, so the music, entertainment and theme can differ each time.
The calendar mixes DJ nights, themed parties, live entertainment and celebration nights. Guest DJs, resident selectors or a themed music format may shape a given night. That variety gives regular guests a reason to return and new visitors a clear choice.
The energy builds across the evening. Earlier arrivals have time to settle at their tables and meet friends before peak hours. Later, the DJ raises the pace, and the room turns towards dancing. If you plan to join later, confirm the door and table-hold policies first.
Event details from one weekend may not apply to the next. Always check the confirmed details for your date. To compare nights across the week, read the guide on choosing the right night in Business Bay.
Music for an international crowd
Weekend sets move between house, R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats, Arabic favourites and international club anthems, depending on the event.
The aim is to keep the momentum while giving different parts of a mixed crowd moments they recognise. Some events lean on one genre, while others run open format and change through the night.
If music style matters to your group, tell the team when you get in touch. They can then point you to the weekend event that suits your group.
Lighting and visual production support the soundtrack without pulling attention from the floor. The club photo gallery shows the stage, the lights and past performers.
Weekend tables and group reservations
Reserve Friday and Saturday tables in advance, because weekend availability moves quickly and the most requested positions are often confirmed before the night.
Send your preferred date, group size, arrival time and occasion on WhatsApp to 052 955 7546. If guests are arriving separately, ask how the booking will be managed at the entrance.
Booths sit around the perimeter with dedicated host attention and clear stage sightlines, and the central bar has its own bar staff.
Before you confirm, ask about the table category, any minimum spend, any deposit and how long the table is held. Table prices in AED, with the charges note, are on the full price list. For larger parties, the group night planning guide covers timing and arrival.
Walk-in guests should contact the club for current entry conditions. Capacity, event format, guest mix and door policy all affect availability, so a message before travelling beats relying on a past visit. The table hosting and services page explains what a booked table includes.
Celebrating on a weekend
Birthdays, reunions, engagements, visiting friends and group nights out all fit a weekend event, provided you share the details when you reserve.
For a birthday or milestone, the team can explain the current presentation choices and any extra arrangements. Get approval in advance if you plan to bring a cake, decorations or another special item.
Groups visiting Dubai can book before they reach the city. Confirming the date, table and entry instructions early gives everyone a clear weekend plan. The birthday planning guide lists the details to send.
Planning a smooth weekend visit
Choose your date, ask for the night's concept and music, confirm the arrival time, and make sure every guest knows the dress code.
Smart, elegant clubwear is the safest choice. Avoid sportswear, beachwear and casual footwear. Every guest should carry valid identification, and entry remains subject to the club's policy and capacity.
Entry is 21+, and each guest shows an original passport or Emirates ID, because digital copies and expired documents are rejected.
Keep the final booking details on your phone. On the day, send a short update if your group size or timing has changed, so the team can adjust where possible.
Send the location and the booking name to every guest before the evening starts. The Marasi Drive arrival page has the map pin, valet parking and access details. For booking steps and hours, see the contact page.
The about page describes the room and the team, while the home page overview lists the hours and rating. Before a midweek booking, read the Ladies Night pricing guide, and find every other topic in the guides to a night out.
