For the rest of November, book first for the event with the fewest dates you can make. Vinyl Souk offers a free Sunday evening set with room-specific RSVP. Icons of Porsche gives you a choice of two evenings at The Square Nad Al Sheba, with cars, art and live music until 11 pm. On the final weekend, The Game’s Afoot runs three evenings at The Junction, while Hiba Tawaji and Ibrahim Maalouf and ARTBAT each have one date. Use the table to decide which night to commit to and what you can move. Vinyl Souk programme · Icons of Porsche · The Junction box office

All times are local. The dates were ahead when checked. Starting prices can change, and a published price is useful only if your group can get the right category on the same date. If you are choosing for two or more people, look at the dates everyone can make before comparing the price of single tickets.
15 November · Vinyl Souk at Nomad Day Bar
Pick Sunday’s Souk Sessions if you want to hear how a selector works with records. Vinyl Souk’s fourth Mini Festival runs 14 and 15 November at 25hours Hotel One Central. On Sunday, Nomad Day Bar lists Zenim at 4 pm, essarai at 6 pm and Mckie Alvarez at 8 pm. The organiser’s joint artist card specifies vinyl for Alvarez. If he is the reason you are going, set your arrival around the 8 pm slot and leave time to check in. Vinyl Souk programme and RSVP · Vinyl Souk and Mckie Alvarez’s announcement
Choose Sunday at Nomad Day Bar on the organiser’s RSVP form and enter the number of people coming with you. Entry is free and capacity applies. Vinyl Souk asks guests to come early and give their name at the door. Nomad’s own post shows the café’s November pastry menu. Ask what is available during the festival if you want a quick bite before the set. Sunday RSVP conditions · Nomad’s November menu post
For film first, the organiser lists East Indians of Mobai at 5:15 pm at Cinema Akil in 25hours, with 70 seats and its own free RSVP. Reserve the screening separately and check its expected finish if you want to get into Nomad for Alvarez. The two listed starts are two hours and 45 minutes apart. That gap includes the film and time to get into the next room. Cinema Akil’s older programme post identifies the hotel screening venue. Use the festival grid for the November film. Cinema and Nomad programme · Cinema Akil at 25hours programme archive
The Plaza Mainstage is the paid area. Platinumlist lists admission from AED 157.50 for the festival and says the Plaza is 21+, with valid original photo ID. The seller describes Nomad as family-friendly and Cinema Akil as open to all ages subject to capacity and any activity-specific guidance. If one person is under 21, make Nomad or the screening your shared plan and check the particular activity. If everyone wants the Plaza, confirm the ticket category and its terms before buying.

21 or 22 November · Icons of Porsche in Nad Al Sheba
Choose Icons of Porsche if you want to move between outdoor exhibits and live music at your own pace. The sixth edition runs 4–11 pm on both Saturday and Sunday at The Square Nad Al Sheba. This year’s destination is on Al Ain Road. Porsche’s organiser announcement and red festival poster both name the new site. Save that exact destination for the group, especially if anyone went to the previous edition in Dubai Design District. Festival site and new location · Porsche’s official festival poster
The programme describes a main stage for live entertainment and reveals, along with separate areas for cars, art and family activities. Porsche’s Explore page highlights the front-engine Transaxle cars, including the 924 and 968, as a way into the exhibition if the group wants to see one part of the collection in detail. If the music is your reason to come after dark, check the running order for your day. The event’s 11 pm finish gives you the outside limit for the visit, while individual exhibits and stage appearances can have their own timings. A 9 pm arrival leaves two hours before the listed finish, including any time it takes to get in. Festival areas and entertainment · Organiser’s programme and arrival guidance
The organiser sells one-day tickets online at AED 85, so two general admissions for the same evening are AED 170. The live registration page says children under 12 enter free with a ticket holder, and the organiser says children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Check the exact age boundary for a 12-year-old and any activity-specific rule before paying. If the group includes someone using a wheelchair, the organiser describes the site as accessible and gives a contact for route and parking help. There are food vendors, and outside food and drinks are restricted. That makes it possible to plan the festival as the whole evening rather than leaving to eat and trying to return. Live registration and ticket terms · Family, food and access information
On Saturday 21 November, the festival and the first BATL card run across much of the same evening. If a late title bout is the draw, pick boxing and use Sunday for the festival. If someone wants Sid Sriram at the arena on Sunday, choose Saturday for the cars or leave enough time to get to City Walk before the performance. The arena and ticket seller both show 8 pm, but the seller calls it the door time. Confirm the show’s actual start before booking two plans on the same evening. Icons of Porsche hours · BATL cards · Sid Sriram arena listing
21 or 28 November · Professional boxing at Meydan
Choose a BATL card if you want the whole evening to unfold around a ring. Top Of The Bill on 21 November advertises 13 professional bouts and six title fights, with the promoter billing returns for Emirati fighters Abdullah Marjan and Ibrahim Yousif Al Ali. BATL Fury on 28 November lists 12 bouts and three titles, with Saif Alhaj among the fighters advertised. Both listings give a 5–11:30 pm event window at The Meydan Hotel. The promoter’s Instagram post is from a June card and gives context for the series. Use the November cards to choose the date and fighters. BATL’s November cards · BATL’s June card on Instagram
The two ticket pages list AED 200–1,500, with the selector showing service fees separately. A pair at the lower listed price comes to AED 400 before fees, if those tickets are available. The seller places both cards on the sixth floor of Meydan Grandstand. Compare the actual seating tier before you pay. If you are travelling together and want to sit together, check how the selected tier assigns places and plan to enter as a group. Top Of The Bill at Tickit · BATL Fury at Tickit
The published window is for the card as a whole. If you are only coming for one fighter, check the bout order and ask the promoter when they expect that bout. If you prefer to see how the card builds, aim for the earlier part of the evening. On the 28th, choose Meydan if you want the fights to be your main plan. ARTBAT opens the same night at Dubai Harbour, and the two listings give no basis for assuming you can see a late title fight and still catch a particular DJ set.

22 November · Sid Sriram at Coca-Cola Arena
Sing India is the choice for a big concert centred on one singer. Sid Sriram’s voice connects Carnatic training with South Indian film playback and his own songwriting. If your group knows him from different parts of that catalogue, you can pick the show around the artist and leave room for the set to surprise you. The arena’s announcement shows him at the microphone and names the Dubai date and venue. Coca-Cola Arena concert listing · Coca-Cola Arena’s concert reel
Read the 8 pm listing carefully. Platinumlist displays 20:00 as the door time. The arena also lists 8 pm on its event page, under the event time. If you’re planning dinner first or booking a car for after the show, check your ticket or the arena’s latest arrival instructions for the performance time. Build in time for screening and finding your section, especially if the group has bought separately. Platinumlist schedule and tickets · Arena event information
Check the section and its conditions together before choosing by price. The arena lists a minimum age of 14 in standing areas and requires guests under 16 to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older. For a group that wants to sit together, use the live seat map and compare the total for adjacent seats. Treat any upgrade as a separate decision and read the benefits for the actual tier. If you’re only there for the performance, put the seat or standing location first. Arena admission conditions
On 7 November, the arena listed Pearl at AED 129, regular standing at AED 149 and Silver at AED 199. It showed AED 99 Bronze as sold out. Two Pearl tickets would total AED 258 at the listed rate, or AED 298 for regular standing. Check live availability and the seat map before committing. If someone is under 14 or would rather sit, compare seated sections before buying a standing ticket for the rest of the group. Arena ticket tiers and conditions
27 November · Hiba Tawaji and Ibrahim Maalouf at Dubai Opera
Book À la Française if you want to spend Friday with a singer and trumpeter sharing a theatre stage. Hiba Tawaji and Ibrahim Maalouf play Dubai Opera’s Main Auditorium at 8:30 pm. The programme draws on French chanson. Dubai Opera lists the performance language as Arabic and Platinumlist lists French. Check with Live Nation before booking if the language of the songs or introductions matters to your group. Tawaji brings the voice and Maalouf the trumpet. Their joint tour poster puts the two artists back to back and includes Dubai 27.11 among its dates. Dubai Opera event and tickets · Platinumlist’s event language · Tawaji and Maalouf’s tour announcement
Dubai Opera lists admission from AED 355. For two people, that means AED 710 at the advertised starting tier if two seats are still available there. Choose the seats together and read the ticket conditions before paying. The venue lists tickets as non-refundable, so settle the date and the group before checkout. Leave time between any dinner booking and 8:30 pm for the walk, entry and seating. Dubai Opera price and ticket conditions
Dubai Opera identifies Live Nation as the promoter for this performance. The Opera’s directions page puts taxi pickup at Dubai Opera Plaza beside the hashtag sign. If you’re meeting for dinner before the show, share the auditorium and performance time with the group, then use the plaza pin for the ride afterwards. Dubai Opera performance listing · Dubai Opera directions
27 to 29 November · The Game’s Afoot at The Junction
Choose The Game’s Afoot if you want a play and can move your booking to another night. Ken Ludwig’s comedy puts William Gillette, an actor known for playing Sherlock Holmes, in the middle of a murder investigation at a Christmas gathering. The mystery is part of the fun, but the misunderstandings and false starts are what set this apart from an evening built around a solo comic. The Junction’s season poster includes the play. Look to the date selector for the individual performances and prices. The Junction box office · The Junction’s season announcement
The seller lists 27, 28 and 29 November from AED 120, in English and for ages 15+. The Sunday selector showed 7:15 pm doors and 7:30 pm curtain, with the event window ending at 9:30 pm. Friday and Saturday use the same published pattern in the selector. Use the exact date when sharing tickets. A pair at the advertised starting rate would be AED 240, subject to availability and the checkout terms. At Unit H72, Alserkal Avenue, leave time to walk from your drop-off to the theatre. Confirm the expected finish if you are reserving a late dinner or a fixed pickup. The Game’s Afoot dates and tickets · Dubai Calendar event window
Sunday is especially useful if everyone wants the Dubai Opera concert on Friday or a different event on Saturday. For a group with an early start on Monday, you may prefer the Friday or Saturday performance and leave Sunday free. The date selector lets you see which of those compromises actually works at the starting tier. If friends buy separately, agree on a single performance before opening the checkout. The Junction’s booking route · Performance selector
28 November · ARTBAT at Dubai Harbour
Choose ARTBAT presents Upperground when you want a full outdoor electronic show, with production and the rest of the bill as part of the reason to go. ARTBAT’s label showcase at Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience also bills Miss Monique, R3HAB and 7 SKIES, with production from High Scream. The venue’s season poster names ARTBAT and the 28 November date. Use the exact event page and the seller for the current lineup and arrival details. Ushuaïa Dubai’s ARTBAT bill · Ushuaïa Dubai’s season poster on Instagram
Platinumlist lists 8 pm doors and tickets from AED 195, so two at the advertised starting price would be AED 390 if that tier is available. Entry is 21+ with an original Emirates ID or passport. The event’s rules prohibit re-entry and photography or video, and include a dress code. If guests are arriving separately, agree on a meeting point before going inside. If one DJ is the reason you are going, look for confirmed set times on the day. The door time tells you when the venue opens and leaves the stage schedule to be confirmed. Platinumlist tickets and entry policies
Build the rest of November around two evenings
If you have one weekend for the festival and the arena
On 21 and 22 November, a group that wants both Icons of Porsche and Sid Sriram can do the festival on Saturday and keep Sunday for the arena. Two festival admissions and two AED 129 Pearl tickets would total AED 428 at the checked rates, before any extra charges. If one person prefers standing, check whether the group wants to split for the concert before buying. If the arena is the event everyone agrees on, settle its seat or standing category first, then pick a festival day that fits. Festival registration · Sid Sriram ticket categories
A group coming for a particular boxer on 21 November can use Sunday for the festival instead. That works best if the concert is optional. If you want both festival and concert on Sunday, choose the festival parts you care about and check the arena performance time before relying on a transfer. The festival opens at 4 pm and the concert seller shows 8 pm doors, four hours apart. That interval includes time inside the festival, the journey and arena entry. It is easier to enjoy both if you choose which exhibit or set to see before arriving. Icons of Porsche programme · Arena event and admission
If everyone is free on the final weekend
For a pair who want one seated show and one late outdoor night, The Game’s Afoot on Sunday and ARTBAT on Saturday work as separate bookings. At the two published starting rates, the pair would spend AED 630 for both nights before any additional charges. Both people need to qualify for the Harbour’s 21+ entry. A group that includes someone under 21 can still consider The Game’s Afoot from age 15. Confirm the group’s ages and seats before paying for either date. The Junction tickets and age limit · ARTBAT prices and entry
For a group that wants both the Dubai Opera concert and the play, book the Friday concert first and move the play to Saturday or Sunday. The Friday curtains are only one hour apart, with the play at 7:30 pm in Al Quoz and the concert at 8:30 pm in Downtown. A Saturday play leaves Sunday free. A Sunday play lets you keep Saturday for boxing or ARTBAT. Two tickets at each advertised starting tier would be AED 950 across those two nights, subject to live seat availability. Dubai Opera concert · Junction dates
If you want room to change plans
A free RSVP at Nomad has a different commitment from an allocated theatre or arena seat. Start with the room and time you want at 25hours, and remember that the screening and the Plaza have separate arrangements. Later in the month, the two-day car festival gives you flexibility while you are still choosing a date, but select the correct day at checkout. When only one performance will do, check the final price and booking conditions, then put its actual start and entrance in the group message. Keep the other evenings flexible until everyone has agreed. Vinyl Souk room access · Icons of Porsche day tickets
