Either if you are living in Dubai or just there for business, or maybe a long holiday, you will need to know some good ways to spend the extra free time. Dubai is known for terribly hot days, especially during summer. People will look for places that will spare them from overheating, whilst having a great time.
Apart from staying inside or going shopping at the mall, you can also cool down while watching a movie in one of the many movie theatres Dubai offers.
Currently, in Dubai, there are various franchises that divide the movie theater industry. I am talking about Reel Cinemas, VOX Cinemas, Novo Cinemas, and Roxy Cinemas. To them, some 3D and 4D cinema brads can be added.
There are a total of 255 movie screens in the UAE alone. You can find a comprehensive list of all the cinemas in UAE and Dubai along with3d, their location, and phone number here.
Standard movie theater tickets will cost you between 55 DHS for 2D movies and up to 75 DHS for 3D ones.
