‘Darkness falls across the land, The midnight hour is close at hand’ – the spirit of Halloween is officially in Dubai and team a&e has handpicked the best places in to celebrate.
Coya Dubai
Coya restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Jumeriah is taking an artistic approach to Hallows’ Evening with an exhibition of artworks by regional artists. On October 29, head into the Members Lounge Halloween inspired artwork by Alia Alkhalfah, Amel Touihri, Cloe Youssef, Faiza Shaikh, Lauren Jay Carrington, Parisa Dehban, Pranav Gopal Menon, Sarah Chaaban, Shurooq Amin, Sneha Changroth and Dr. Souheil Madi.
Armani/Privé
Enter a disturbing world of mystery, music and mayhem this Halloween as Armani/Privé presents a supernatural spectacle. The CONJURING party on October 31 dares you to dress your best for a chance to win some grand prizes.
Barbary
One of the hottest spots in town is putting on not one, but three frightfully good events. Come and witness Murder On The Dance Floor on October 31, or let Hotel Horreur give you goose bumps on November 1. If you survive it all, get ready to survey the aftermath with the glitter and sequin-soaked crime scene of the Disco Killer on November 2. Not only will you have some stories to tell, but you could also win a trip to Paris – Bonbons s’il-vous-plaît.
Le Ville, City Walk
For the first time ever in Dubai, La Ville Hotel & Suites together with Escape Hunt will create a bespoke interactive Halloween experience for adults only, The Forgotten Treasure. Book your slot from 5pm on October 31 and experience the entire hotel and its many creative restaurants, while enjoying spooky bites and drinks.
On Board The QE2
The popular family-friendly brunch on the iconic QE2 ship gets a fang-tastic upgrade. Held at Lido restaurant on November 2, expect a feast of jelly spiders, smoking dishes, pumpkin carvings along with a live singer in full costume who will entertain the crowd. The little one can enjoy the many activities at the ‘haunted ghost hall’.
If you want to celebrate into the night, the QE2’s Grand Lounge will come alive with The Hollywood Horror Show. Passengers can indulge in devilishly delicious meal, free-flowing beverages and an on-stage performance. Not going home? For those looking to dress up and party the night away, the Yacht Club will host a glamorous After-Life Party featuring 80’s, 90’s and 00’s soundtracks. Entry is free but fancy dress is a must and there will be a grand prize for the best costume.
