While cinemas in Dubai are welcoming visitors again, following the DED’s latest reopening guidelines, another vintage movie-watching experience is making a comeback too. Drive-in cinemas are back in Dubai! The old-fashioned way of watching movies on the big screen is the perfect way to socially distance while enjoying the latest action or comedy flick.
Two of Dubai’s most popular cinema chains, Vox Cinemas and Reel Cinemas, have been the first to launch drive-in cinemas in Dubai! Want to know more about this new movie experience? Here’s a quick, handy guide to the Reel Cinemas Drive-In at The Dubai Mall and Dubai Hills Estate!

There are two new Reel Cinemas Drive-ins now in Dubai. The franchise first launched the experience in The Dubai Mall’s new Zabeel extension, in the rooftop parking space (P9), with the Burj Khalifa serving as the breathtaking backdrop! The company then quickly followed it up with the launch of The Reel Drive-in cinema at Dubai Hills Estate.
