This Halloween, Dubai Holding Entertainment is bringing the spooky season to life with a spectacular mix of haunting fun and family adventure across some of Dubai’s most popular destinations, including Motiongate Dubai, Riverland Dubai, The Green Planet Dubai, and Wild Wadi Waterpark.
From eerie forests and zombie parades to rainforest camping and ghostly rides, every venue promises unforgettable chills and thrills.
Motiongate Dubai, Dubai Parks And Resorts
Until 31 October, from noon to 10pm each day, enter the twisted world of Evil M. Reel, a cursed movie director whose terrifying imagination takes over the park during 'Fright Nights 8: Phantasmagoria'. Inspired by cult horror classics like 'SAW' and 'The Strangers', the experience turns Motiongate Dubai into a living horror set, complete with mazes, ghoulish parades and hair-raising shows.
Guests can battle zombies on 'Zombieland Blast-Off', face vampires in 'Underworld 4D', and experience more spine-tingling showdowns. The Hollywood Theatre hosts 'Phantasmagoria', a dance show that blurs the line between performer and audience.
Families with younger children can also join the fun by trick-or-treating with the Smurfs, Hotel Transylvania encounters, and light-hearted Halloween décor throughout the park.
Tickets start from Dhs 295 onwards. See more details on their website.

At the Sports Boulevard stage, the 'Boo-tiful Beats' show brings Halloween magic to life with glamorous witches, live music and dazzling dance performances.
