An unmissable highlight of the season, the record-breaking nightly enchanting DSF Drones Show presented by Emarat Petroleum returns to Dubai. For an incredible 38 days, starting from 6 December 2024 until 12 January 2025, watch it live every night from Bluewaters and The Beach, JBR.

Back by popular demand, the latest edition of the longest-running drone light show in the region will see the night skies of Dubai come alive with an out of this world display of cutting-edge drone technology against the impressive coastline backdrops of Bluewaters and The Beach, JBR. 

Prepare yourself for awe-inspiring performances that will leave you speechless, and watch enthralling stories unfold every night as the spectacular and innovative DSF drones take flight and paint the night time skies bright with a symphony of colours and shapes, not once but twice every night!

This year’s show is joining forces with Emirati animator Mohammed Saeed Harib, the creator and producer of the popular cartoon series FREEJ. The award-winning cartoonist will infuse the show with an authentic Emirati touch, adding a unique and mesmerising cultural element to this already extraordinary experience.

What to expect from this year’s shows

Two incredible arrangements will take place every night with shows taking place at 8pm and 10pm daily at Bluewaters and The Beach, JBR.

In “Fairytale Fusion with Emirati Culture” in collaboration with Mohammed Saeed Harib, the story will combine the enchanting world of fairytales with the rich tapestry of Emirati culture, bringing together spellbounding narratives with the vibrancy of local traditions. 

The narrative unfolds around the symbolic significance of the Pearl in Dubai. Often referred to as the ‘Pearl of the World,’ this radiant gem becomes the focal point of the tale, embodying not only wealth and prosperity but also the essence of Dubai’s captivating allure. As the story weaves through the city’s landscapes and cultural nuances, the Pearl takes on a multifaceted role, symbolising the dreams, aspirations and enduring spirit of this extraordinary city.

The second show “Illustration of Dubai in the Future” will follow an Emirati space explorer as he enters a portal that takes him to the future. Through a symphony of lights and motion, watch as the cityscape transforms into a transfixing blend of sleek skyscrapers and sustainable urban spaces along with a home to advanced transportation systems. 

Watch as the drones depict the Dubai of the future, bringing to life the formation of the technologically advanced metropolis that retains its distinct charm. The show paints a vibrant portrait of Dubai’s aspirations and innovations, showcasing its commitment to pushing the boundaries of possibility and to position itself as a global hub. 

Each awe-inspiring show is free to attend although you might want to get there early to secure the best vantage points for you or your family and friends.
