There is no better time than now to enjoy the great outdoor cinemas in Dubai, provided you don’t wind up getting caught in a sudden downpour. As much as we love a good private screening room, this is a good excuse to head out to one of Dubai’s lovely open-air cinemas.
1. VOX Outdoor Cinema, Galleria Mall | 2. Rooftop Gardens Pyramids at Wafi Mall |
3. Outdoor Cinema, Dubai Marina Mall | 4. Urban Outdoor Cinema, Habtoor Grand |
VOX Outdoor Cinema, Galleria Mall

Part of the UAE’s popular VOX theater chain, the VOX Outdoor cinema shows all of the latest blockbusters in a cosy rooftop lounge, with seating options that include plush couches and beanbags. The movie ticket includes a food and beverage package, as well as blanket to stay warm during the chilly winter evenings.
Rooftop Gardens Pyramids at Wafi Mall

The Rooftop Gardens is one of the signature restaurants at Wafi Mall, and also the setting for one of Dubai’s first outdoor cinemas. Every Sunday, the space is converted into a relaxed lounge for the weekly ‘Movies Under the Stars’, featuring a selection of classic and modern films.
Outdoor Cinema Dubai Marina Mall

The promenade outside the Marina Mall will be hosting a free outdoor cinema every weekend until April. Head there early to grab yourself a beanbag and enjoy an evening of family-friendly entertainment against the backdrop of the glittering Marina skyline.
Urban Outdoor Cinema Habtoor Grand

Every Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the front lawn of the Habtoor Grand Resort will host the Urban Outdoor Cinema. It is the only licensed open-air theater in Dubai, so you can bask in the idyllic beachfront setting with your beverage of choice to go with the snacks.
