Dubai Arena is set to reinforce Dubai's reputation in the tourism and family entertainment sector. The development of the venue is aligned with the objectives outlined in 'Dubai's Tourism Vision 2020' and the 'Dubai Tourism Strategy' that aims to attract 25 million tourists a year by 2025.
Designed to host end-stage, central and half-stage concerts, sporting events such as tennis, basketball, boxing, volleyball and ice hockey matches, as well as gala dinners, exhibitions, conferences and festivals, the city's newest entertainment venue is connected to Dubai Metro through a direct metro-link pedestrian bridge.
