Halloween in Dubai 2026: 16 Events and Parties You Must Not Miss

Halloween in Dubai 2026

This page gives you 16 things to do for Halloween, in four groups: the big attractions, family events, parties for adults and haunted houses. After the list come prices and areas compared, where tickets are sold, what is still to be announced, brunches, costumes and Abu Dhabi.

Here are the 16, in four groups. Each one is marked Kids, Adults or Everyone, and the one free event is marked Free.

Halloween at Dubai's Theme Parks and Big Attractions

Let's start with the big names. Four of these six are already open, so this is where to look if you want to go this weekend.

1. Halloween at Legoland Dubai

Legoland calls its Halloween programme Brick or Treat, and it is made for young children. They follow a sweets trail with an activity card, hunt for ghosts in Miniland and build a Lego pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. There is also a craft cabin and a 4D film, and the park says there are no scary frights.

• When: Every day the park is open, 7 October to 2 November 2026. Hours change from day to day, so check your date.
• Price: Free with a day ticket, which costs AED 295 online and AED 330 at the gate.
• Who it suits: Kids. The park is made for ages 2 to 12. Costumes are welcome and not required.
• Book: Halloween at Legoland Dubai. Buy online and you pay AED 35 less than at the gate.

2. Fright Nights IX at Motiongate Dubai

This is the ninth Halloween season at the Motiongate film park, and it is the one for people who enjoy horror films. Two scare experiences are named so far, both based on films: SAW: Trial by Terror and The Strangers: Trapped. It also runs longer than anything else on this list.

• When: 7 October to 8 November 2026. Hours and days of the week are not published. In 2025 it ran from Wednesday to Sunday only, so check before you drive there on a Monday or Tuesday.
• Price: A day ticket starts at AED 295. The park has not said if the scare experiences cost extra.
• Who it suits: Adults and older teenagers. No age rule is published for 2026.
• Book: Motiongate Dubai day ticket page. The 2026 details were reported by Gulf News. The park's own Fright Nights page still showed 2025 on 12 October, so look at it before you travel.

3. Halloween at IMG Worlds of Adventure

IMG Worlds is an indoor theme park, and for the whole of October its shows and characters turn to Halloween. The centre of it is the Haunted Town zone, where you walk through a maze called the Haunted Hotel while live actors scare you. Go to the maze early, because its queue can close up to two hours before the park does.

• When: 1 to 31 October 2026. Open 12pm to 10pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 12pm to 11pm on Friday and Saturday.
• Price: AED 365 with VAT for General Park Admission. There is no separate Halloween ticket. Platinumlist says children up to 1.05 metres tall enter free.
• Who it suits: Everyone for the park. The Haunted Hotel is only for ages 15 and over, and guests aged 15 to 18 must show ID.
• Book: IMG Worlds tickets page. Press the "AED 365" button beside General Park Admission.

4. Frightober at Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates

Ski Dubai has built a snowy ghost town called Sector 13 inside its indoor snow park. You walk through it while actors scare you, and they do not touch you. The pass comes with a trick-or-treat pouch, a hot chocolate, fleece gloves and a locker.

• When: 9 to 31 October. The page shows no year, but tickets are on sale now. The Halloween party is on 31 October, and no start time is listed.

• Who it suits: Everyone aged 7 and over. One Ski Dubai page says 7 and over and another says no children under 12, so ask before you pay. Pregnant women cannot enter, and all sales are final.
• Book: Ski Dubai Frightober page. Choose your pass, then pick a date.

5. The Twilight Spectacle at House of Hype, The Dubai Mall

House of Hype is a paid attraction with 25 themed rooms on Level 1 of The Dubai Mall. For Halloween it adds a parade, trick-or-treat stops with hidden gifts and themed food, and the venue calls it more spectacular than scary. So far it is the only Halloween event announced at The Dubai Mall.

6. City Walk Halloween Run

This is a timed fun run in costume at City Walk on Halloween evening, now in its third year. You choose 2.5 km or 5 km, both start together, and every finisher gets a medal. There are prizes for the fastest runners and for the three best-dressed ones.

• When: Saturday 31 October 2026 at 6.30pm. What's On gives the end time as 8pm.

Haunted Houses in Dubai for Halloween

You do not need a Halloween event to be scared. Two haunted attractions inside malls are open every day, so any evening this month will do.

15. Hysteria, The Dubai Mall

Hysteria is a walk-through haunted house on the second floor of The Dubai Mall, opposite Reel Cinemas and next to KidZania. You pass through 15 rooms with live actors, fog and strobe lights, and it is over in about 10 minutes. At most four people go in together.

• When: Every day from 10am. It closes at 11pm from Monday to Thursday and at midnight at weekends.
• Price: AED 105 for each person, for one entry. There are no group rates, and all sales are final.

• Book: Hysteria tickets page. An online ticket lets you skip the ticket line. Tickets are also sold at the door.

16. Supernatural, WAFI City Mall

Supernatural is a short horror escape room with live actors, on the first floor of WAFI City Mall in Oud Metha. You have 15 minutes to read the room and find the way out. Never tried one before?

Which Halloween event in Dubai fits you?

Where to Buy Tickets for Halloween in Dubai

There is no single ticket for Halloween in Dubai. Each event sells its own, in one of three places:

Buy only on the venue's own page or from the seller that the venue names. Two of the adult parties do not refund tickets, so check your date before you pay.

Halloween in Dubai 2026: What Is Not Announced Yet

Some well-known names are missing from the list above. Global Village, the malls, the free community events and the big clubs have no 2026 date yet. That is normal for Dubai, because they announce late.

Last year shows the pattern:

So look again from 20 to 27 October 2026. Until then, here is what to do for each one. Every detail from last year is marked 2025.

• Halloween at Global Village. Season 31 opens on Wednesday 14 October 2026 at 6pm. Press reports give entry as AED 25 on weekdays and AED 30 on any day. No Halloween programme is announced. Its haunted house, The Horror Hotel, was reported for the 2025 season, and nobody has said if it returns. What to do: after 14 October, look at globalvillage.ae and the Global Village app for news.
• Halloween at The Dubai Mall and other malls. The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, the City Centre malls, Dubai Festival City Mall, Dubai Hills Mall and Ibn Battuta Mall have announced no programme of their own. For now, the mall options are paid ones: House of Hype, Hysteria and Ski Dubai. What to do: check your mall's "What's On" page and Instagram account from 20 October.
• Free community events. In 2025, Times Square Center ran Once Upon a Pumpkin from 31 October to 2 November, and JLT Park held a free party in Cluster Q on 31 October. Al Habtoor Polo Resort showed a free family film on 31 October 2025. None has a 2026 date. What to do: search each name with "Halloween 2026" in the last week of October.
• Trick or treating in residential communities. No developer or community manager has published a 2026 notice. Residents arrange it themselves. What to do: ask in your community's residents' group if there is a list of homes that take part.
• Other family attractions. The Green Planet ran The Haunted Rainforest from 28 October to 3 November 2025, with a resident offer of AED 139. The Al Barari Playground page shows a Haunted Garden on 31 October, 1 and 2 November with no year. What to do: make sure tickets are on sale before you plan around either.
• The big adult venues. Zero Gravity, Barasti, Soho Garden, Atlantis The Palm, the FIVE hotels and McGettigan's have published nothing. In 2025, Zero Gravity charged AED 100, and ladies entered free before 9pm. What to do: follow the venue's Instagram account and search its name on Platinumlist from 21 October.

Is Halloween Celebrated in Dubai, and Is It a Public Holiday?

Yes, Halloween is celebrated in Dubai, as a social and commercial event and not an official one. Theme parks, malls, hotels, restaurants and some residential communities hold events every October. Residents of many backgrounds join in because they want to, and many do not.

Halloween is not a public holiday in the UAE. The UAE Government's list of public holidays does not include 31 October, and nothing closes for it. The next public holiday is Eid Al Etihad, the National Day, on 2 and 3 December 2026.

This year the date helps you. 31 October is a Saturday, so there is no school that day. The October mid-term break at many Dubai private schools was 12 to 16 October, so the week before Halloween is a normal school week.

Why is there a run on the list? 31 October 2026 is also the first day of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.

Halloween Brunch in Dubai 2026: Four With Prices

A brunch is the easy choice for a mixed group, because adults and children sit at one table. Four Halloween brunches have 2026 prices:

Two things to know about this table. Sources disagree on the Pepe Cucina date, so ask the hotel if it is Friday or Saturday. The FireLake prices come from What's On and not from the hotel.

Family brunches are in our kids' guide. Evening brunches for adults are in the party guide.

Halloween Costumes in Dubai and Halloween in Abu Dhabi

Costumes. Party shops in Dubai sell most children's Halloween costumes for about AED 130 to AED 225. Party Zone has a branch in The Dubai Mall and says it delivers the next day. Our guide to Halloween costumes in Dubai compares the shops and their prices.

Abu Dhabi. On Yas Island, Warner Bros. World runs Spooktober from 3 October to 1 November, with day tickets from AED 345. SeaWorld runs its Spooky Sea-son on the same dates. See Halloween in Abu Dhabi 2026 for the full list.
