How to plan Halloween in the UAE
Book the weekend early
With Halloween on a Saturday, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October are the main nights. Popular parties, brunches and kids’ events sell out, so book as soon as you decide.
Costumes: fun, but sensible
Dress up as much as you like inside the venue. On the way, keep costumes modest, skip realistic toy weapons and face-covering masks in public, and change at the venue if needed.
Check the age rules
Nightlife events are 21+ and ask for ID. Kids’ parties often set age ranges, so check before you book.
