The Coca-Cola Arena Backstage Tour gives visitors the chance to see one of Dubai’s biggest entertainment venues from a completely different perspective.
Instead of watching a concert from the audience, guests can now step behind the scenes to explore the spaces normally reserved for artists, performers and production crews. Offered as part of the Ultimate Venue Experience, the guided tours reveal what happens before the lights go up and the show begins, making it an interesting outing for music fans, families and anyone curious about the world of live events.
Explore the areas usually reserved for performers
The experience is available in two formats, allowing visitors to choose how much of the venue they want to discover.
The Behind the Scenes Tour costs AED 100 and lasts approximately 90 minutes. During the guided experience, guests will follow the same route many artists take on event days. Highlights include the premium hospitality lounges, the VVIP entrance and the dressing rooms used by performers and athletes before taking to the stage or arena floor.
It offers a rare look at the spaces that are usually hidden from the public, while guides share stories about how major concerts and events come together.
Upgrade for even more exclusive access
For those looking for a deeper experience, the Access All Areas Tour is available for AED 130 and runs for around 120 minutes.
Along with everything included in the standard tour, this premium experience takes visitors to The Catwalk, a technical platform suspended around 40 metres above the arena bowl. From this unique vantage point, guests can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the venue while learning more about the technology that powers large-scale productions.
The extended tour also includes hands-on activities, such as learning about the arena’s rigging systems and experiencing how radio coordination helps keep major live events running smoothly behind the scenes.
Everything you need to know before you visit
The Coca-Cola Arena is located in City Walk, Al Wasl, making it easy to reach from many parts of Dubai.
Tickets for both experiences can be booked through the arena’s official Experience page or via ticketing platforms such as Platinumlist.
Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above, while children under two years old can join the tour free of charge. Whether you regularly attend concerts or simply enjoy discovering unique attractions around the city, the Coca-Cola Arena Backstage Tour offers a fascinating look at what goes on beyond the stage. It is an opportunity to experience one of Dubai’s most iconic entertainment venues in a way that few visitors ever get to see.
