Dubai: La Perle by Dragone Show Tickets

1.La Perle by Dragone Show Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 6,032 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $73Our pick

See Dubai’s La Perle by Dragone, a 90-minute water and aerial spectacle with acrobatics, technology, and close-up theater seating.

“The show was fabulous, having seen shows in Las Vegas it’s hard to put into words just what’s needed to top or be comparable but this certainly is up there. There are two stand out parts which are just incredible 😳 but everything is spectacular and a credit to the skill of all involved. It helps if you have an idea of the storyline before but doesn’t deflect the spectacle of the performance. Well worth a visit. Easy transport whether by cab or metro and a short walk. Thoroughly recommend.”

“We would like to leave extremely positive feedback about our guide, Akbar, who accompanied us on the Desert Safari on February 13, 2026. His work was absolutely sensational. From the very beginning, he was friendly, polite, and professional, making the entire experience even more special with his positive energy and constant attention to our group. What impressed us most was the exceptional care he showed toward our children and our elderly mother. He was attentive, patient, and always concerned about everyone’s safety and well-being. During the dune bashing, he drove responsibly and made us feel completely safe. He truly ensured everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Akbar is...”
