Saint Levant Dopa World 2026

Saint Levant headlines the second night of Dopa World in Dubai on Saturday 19 December 2026, bringing the final stop of his Afandi Tour to Jubilee Park at Expo City Dubai. Dopa World bills itself as the first Arab Gen Z cultural experience, a two-day festival of new Arab music, fashion, food and creativity, and Saturday is the night built around its biggest name.

Saint Levant closes the Afandi Tour in Dubai

Saint Levant is the stage name of Marwan Abdelhamid, who was partly raised in Gaza before moving to France. That background runs through his music: he writes and performs in Arabic, English and French, often switching between all three within a single track, which gives his songs their distinctive multilingual sound.

Fans will know him from songs such as “Very Few Friends”, “From Gaza, with Love”, “Nails” and “Deira”. His Afandi Tour opened in Amman on 13 August 2026 and travelled through the region, Europe and the US before returning to the Middle East, with dates in Qatar and Oman ahead of this Dubai show, the last of the run.

More than a concert: the Dopa World festival

Dopa World was created to support and showcase young Arab talent, giving emerging artists, local businesses and creatives a shared platform. Alongside the music you will find a curated selection of local brands, food concepts and creative experiences spread across the park, so it is worth treating the evening as a festival rather than a single set.

The festival was first planned for April 2026, then moved to December. It now runs over two nights, with Ziad Zaza playing on Friday 18 December and Saint Levant on Saturday 19 December. Shehab is also on the bill, and the organisers say more artists are still to be announced, with the timings and line-up subject to change. If you want both nights, see our page for the full Dopa World 2026 festival.

Saturday night at Jubilee Park

Doors open at 4pm, which leaves plenty of time to explore the brands and food before the headline set. Two ticket categories are on sale for Saint Levant’s night:

• Golden Circle: the area closest to the stage
• General Admission: standard festival entry

Tickets are mobile entry only, so they can only be accessed on your phone. They cannot be printed from your online account or sent by email.

Know before you go

• Age: the festival is strictly 12+, and guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. ID may be checked: an original Emirates ID, an original passport or a digital ID through the UAE ICP app. Foreign driving licences are not accepted.
• Cashless: only cards and accepted digital payments can be used on site.
• Bags: nothing larger than 30 x 30 x 15 cm, and there is no cloakroom.
• Not allowed: outside food and drink, professional cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, foldable chairs, large flags or banners, laptops and tablets.
• Re-entry: entry is single use, so once you leave you cannot come back in.
• Accessibility: accessible entry is available for People of Determination, with accessible tickets bought in advance.

To reach the park by car, take Expo Road (E77), then Boulevard 2020 and Mangrove Street. Parking is limited and is not guaranteed with a ticket, so a taxi or ride-hailing app is the simpler option. Our Jubilee Park venue page lists other events held there.
