Dubai’s Masterpiece-La Perle Dragone

Nestled between The W and Westin hotels in Dubai’s Al Habtoor’s city is La Perle Dragones. Behind this awe inspiring piece of work is none other than Franco Dragone who was formerly a director of Circue de Soleil.

Like Dragone himself, when you ask him to produce a show, you shouldn’t expect less. He takes his art work a notch higher and this is no different with the 10 storey building that showcases his exemplary skill. 

Just a warning though, this is not your typical kind of a theatre just wonder what the theater and you too has an opportunity to head there buying your ticket online and not only that, but also at a best price guarantee . Good news is, it’s only a click away on itickets.ae

Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the theatre prior to your visit.

A Breathtaking Show

The 90 minute show is presented in Circue du Soleil-style extravaganza featuring acrobats, divers (important to note-the stage has swimming pools), motorbikes and so much more. The show is pretty much about stunts and incredible amazing props that will leave you breathless.

Prepare to gasp severally and most definitely clap at the fetes the athletes will be performing on stage. From a personal point of view, I’d say the show is more of a conceptual piece rather than a narrative.

Tips  

●        The show happens twice a day-five days of the week as follows:

                -Tuesdays through to Fridays between 7pm-9:30pm

                -Saturdays 4pm-7pm

●        It’s absolutely allowed to take photos during the show just remember not to use the flash

The Set Up

The theater has 14 rows and the show is quite aerial in nature. This means, regardless of your sitting spot, you’ll still be able to enjoy the show including for those at the far back.

Tips

●        The theater comprise of 14 rows

●        In the gold section, rows A, B and C are in front and centre. If you’re seeking a prime seat, these are highly recommended

●        Seats 1-10 in rows K, L and M have better viewpoints than seats 11-23. We’d recommend being as close to the centre as possible

●        Regardless of where you opt to sit though-at the front or nearer the back, it really depends on the kind of experience you’re seeking. At the front however, the experience is more immersive as you can actually feel the water, feel the snow and ofcourse the acrobats as they will be flying very close to you.

●        Upon arrival, you’re welcomed by a pool surrounded by a huge circular gigantic metal that holds colorful stones

●        A silver machinery on the edge of the stage resembling a half set up drum kit that is actually a robot and performs part of the show 

Parking Lot  

The theatre has valet parking, which however has a downside to it-you might have to wait longer to get the service. So, we’d recommend parking in the RTA parking that’s just underneath Sheikh Zayed Road. Not many still know about this parking, but now you know.

Tip  

●        Getting to RTA can be tricky and you must be smart to avoid the traffic, exit Sheikh Zayed Rd towards Safa Park and Al Wasl Rd. This means, if you happen to be driving towards Dubai on Sheikh Zayed Rd, take exit 47 and drive as if you’re heading towards Jumeirah. Soon as you get off from the flyover on Sheikh Zayed Rd, take the right turn that reads ‘Dubai Water Canal’-That should lead you to the RTA parking more conveniently

Public Transport 

Lucky enough, Business Bay Metro Station is close enough to La Perle theatre all thanks to a pedestrians walkway on Sheikh Zayed Rd bridge.

Tip

●        If catching a cab straight after the show, walk around and flag it at St.Regis or the Westin (it’ll be less of a wait)

Snacks

Finally, what you’ve all been waiting for! Besides what’s a great show without some tasty snacks;)

As you go up the escalators to the theatre, you’ll notice a cinema style snacks counter with popcorn, shawarma, candy, sodastream drinks and just so much more.

Tip  

●        If you want popcorn, make sure to head to the counter at least 15 minutes prior to the show to avoid long queues

●        If you prefer a meal pre/post a show, there are some licensed restaurants and bars at the atrium just next to the theatre.

The Aqua Adventure Dubai

Wondering where to visit and perhaps just cool off in Dubai? We’re pleased to present to you Dubai’s most thrilling water park-Aquaventure water park which has currently gotten better in the recent years after opening four more thrilling slides each perfectly around the Tower of Poseidon, not mentioning, Middle East’s longest zipline circuit.

You too and your buddies can now visit here on a weekend getaway or another special occasion. Guess the good news? It’s now so much easier booking online from any part of the world on  itickets.ae where you not only get the best price guarantee, but you also get the ticket confirmed instantly.

In case you’re wondering why you should really visit, below are some reasons:

First off, what awaits at the waterpark?

The first thing that gets your attention here is the park’s two major towers:

●        Tower of Poseidon

●        Tower of Neptune

Just in case you didn't know, Poseidon means king of the sea in Greek mythology. But here at the mega waterpark, Poseidon comprises of several rides that would absolutely amuse even the royals including:

Aquaconda

Let me shock you for a second. This is also the world’s biggest waterslide which resembles a captivating humongous sea serpent. Riders on Aquaconda are plunged into a dark, meandering tunnel and finally dropped into yet another record breaking fiberglass tube.

Poseidon’s Revenge

Well, if you’ve got a faint heart, then this one is not for you. To begin with, riders are asked to enter a capsule and remain patient. Even without a signal, the floor collapses from underneath and they’re sped down at upto 60 km/hr.

Slitherine

Just how many world records can one park hold? The slide earns its mark on the global scale in that it’s the only dual water slide within a waterslide. It offers a perfect opportunity for riders to see who gets to complete its endless twists and turns first. Be careful though, one wrong turn and you head straight into the belly of the Aquaconda ;) But we promise you’ll get out whole and alive.

Zoomerango

Well, this is not your typical waterslide. It comprises of vertical drops that suddenly sends you down on a high speed that makes you forget gravity for a moment. If you think you can consur gravity, then this is your perfect ride.

If you don’t think the thrills on tower of Poseidon are enough though, below is more to be explored at tower of Neptune:

Shark Attack

If you ride on this one, I promise that it’s something you’ll remember in a long time. It takes you gliding into the inner tube taking you down the tower of neptune. Before you even know it, surprise! You’re in an underwater lagoon swimming back to back with different types of sharks. But trust, it’s totally safe.

The Leap of Faith

Taking a leap of faith has never been easy. It’ll take you a great deal of courage to try out this ride which stands at 9 storeys. Wondering what to expect? Waiting on a a near vertical drop, then going down at a mindblowing speed and your final destination is an acrylic tube with dozens of cownose rays and sharks. Impressive, right?

Water Coasters 

In case you’re wondering, yeah, you got that correct! The incredibly wild ride uses jets of water to move riders up and down all the way into a maze of dark tunnels. Towards the end then is a calm river that sails you away.
