FAQ

What’s on in the UAE: common questions

What events are happening in Dubai today and tonight?

Choose Today in Dubai to see current listings, then check each event’s start time and venue. For evening plans, look for concerts, comedy, performances and nightlife listings. Confirm the latest time and ticket availability on the organiser or booking page.

What are the best events in Dubai this weekend?

Browse Dubai events this weekend, covering Friday to Sunday. Compare the dates, venues, prices and event types to choose a concert, comedy show, family outing or workshop that suits your plans.

Where can I book tickets for UAE concerts and events?

Open an event listing and follow its booking link to the organiser or ticketing partner. ThingsToDo.ae does not sell tickets directly. Check the final price, ticket category, age restrictions and entry conditions before paying.

Are there free events in Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Free events may be listed alongside paid events. Check each listing for a stated free-entry price and confirm whether registration is required with the organiser. A missing price or “See details” label does not mean an event is free.

How can I find family events and things to do with kids?

Search for kids or family events and open the listings that match your children’s ages. Check the minimum age, whether an adult must attend, and whether children and accompanying adults need separate tickets. Suitability and admission rules vary by event.

What events are coming up in Abu Dhabi and the other emirates?

Use the emirate filter to browse Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or the Northern Emirates, then choose Today, Tomorrow, This weekend or the next 30 days. You can also go straight to upcoming Abu Dhabi events.

What is the difference between upcoming events and ongoing attractions?

Upcoming events have scheduled performances or sessions on specific dates. Ongoing and seasonal listings cover experiences available over a longer period. Check the booking page for the actual session or opening time; a long availability range does not mean a venue is open continuously.

Can I get a refund if an event is cancelled or I cannot attend?

Refunds, exchanges and cancellation arrangements depend on the organiser and the ticketing provider. Read their terms before booking and contact the provider named on your booking confirmation if you need help. ThingsToDo.ae does not process ticket refunds.

How do I submit an event to ThingsToDo.ae?

Use the event submission form and include the date, time, venue, admission details and booking link. Listings are reviewed before publication; submission does not guarantee publication or a homepage placement.
