Dubai Calendar and the paired venue or organiser records, all accessed 30 September 2026, show five events from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 October, producing six event-day appearances because one show runs twice. Times, ticket conditions and transport checks still need to be read on their own event and venue pages.
Dubai weekend events at a glance
The cleanest read is one Friday event, three Saturday appearances and two Sunday events. These are five unique event identities because the Dubai Opera play repeats across two nights.
The rows use the linked Dubai Calendar event records together with the linked venue or organiser record, all accessed 30 September 2026.
For a broader venue-led planning method, the reviewed Expo City Dubai calendar by venue separates events before building an itinerary. The 25 to 27 September weekend file is the previous dated sibling in this series.
Friday 9 October: one Arabic-language play at Dubai Opera
Friday's selected event is Mohandis Al Thauq Al Aam, an Arabic-language comedy presented at Dubai Opera by Al Qaiser Events. It starts at 20:30 and repeats at the same time on Saturday.
Mohandis Al Thauq Al Aam: what to know
When: Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October at 20:30.
Where: Dubai Opera's Main Auditorium.
Tickets: The at-a-glance table keeps Dubai Opera's starting price and Dubai Calendar's published band side by side.
Language and conditions: Dubai Opera lists Arabic, marks tickets non-refundable and names Al Qaiser Events as the presenter of this venue-hire show.
Best fit: Arabic-speaking theatre audiences who want a seated evening in Downtown Dubai.
Sources: Dubai Opera's event record and Dubai Calendar's event record, accessed 30 September 2026.
Saturday 10 October: Palm, City Walk or Downtown
Saturday offers the widest geographic split: an early-evening beach-club event on Palm Jumeirah, an arena show in City Walk and the second Mohandis performance in Downtown. The venue record matters here because the audience rules are not interchangeable.
Bohemia Presents Robin Schulz: what to know
When: Saturday 10 October at 19:00. No end time is published.
Where: Bohemia Beach Club at FIVE Palm Jumeirah.
Tickets: Dubai Calendar lists general access at AED 100 for ladies and AED 150 for men, Backstage Dancing at AED 500, and VIP Zone at AED 350 to AED 900. The venue page also carries separate package products, so check the final basket against the category selected.
Age: The venue page marks the event 21+.
Best fit: Adults choosing a music-led evening on Palm Jumeirah.

Frequency 971: what to know
When: Saturday 10 October, doors at 19:00 and start at 20:00. No end time is published.
Where: Coca-Cola Arena in City Walk.
Tickets: Dubai Calendar lists AED 99 to AED 750.
Age and delivery: Coca-Cola Arena says e-tickets will be sent five days before the event. Entry patrons, including children above 12 months, need a valid ticket; guests under 16 need an accompanying adult aged 18 or older, and floor-standing categories are 21+.
Best fit: Electronic-music audiences who want a clearly stated doors time and can match the ticket category to the venue's age rules.
Sources: Coca-Cola Arena's event page and Dubai Calendar's event record, accessed 30 September 2026.
Mohandis on Saturday: use the same event record
Saturday's 20:30 Mohandis performance is the second date of the same Dubai Opera event, not a separate item. The language, presenter, price difference and non-refundable condition are the same as Friday's listing. That is why the guide reports five events but six day-specific appearances.
Sunday 11 October: an early triathlon and evening comedy
Sunday divides cleanly between participation at 06:30 and a seated Hindi-language show at 18:30. The triathlon uses an organiser registration route, while the comedy uses Dubai Opera's ticket route.
Dubai Police Triathlon: what to know
When: Sunday 11 October at 06:30.
Where: Al Mamzar Beach Park; Premier Online names Super Sports as organiser.
Registration: Dubai Calendar lists AED 100 to AED 200.
Registration conditions: Premier Online says registration closes at 00:00 on 11 October or sooner if places sell out. Cancellations and category changes are accepted until 23:59 on 3 October or sooner if the event sells out.
Best fit: Participants looking for a morning swim, cycle and run format with a published registration route.
Sources: Premier Online's organiser record and Dubai Calendar's event record, accessed 30 September 2026.
Munawar Faruqui: what to know
When: Sunday 11 October at 18:30. No end time is published.
Where: Dubai Opera's Main Auditorium.
Tickets: The at-a-glance table keeps Dubai Opera's starting price and Dubai Calendar's published band side by side.

Best fit: Hindi-speaking comedy audiences looking for an early-evening Downtown show.

Check the route home as a separate record
The event page tells you when to arrive, not when a particular train or bus will leave. Most of these five records publish no end time, so a network-wide timetable cannot support a station-specific last-departure promise.
Confirm the exact venue record
Use the linked event page, not the event brand alone. Dubai Opera, Coca-Cola Arena, Bohemia Beach Club and Al Mamzar Beach Park are venue records; Dubai Comedy Festival is a brand, and Super Sports, Al Qaiser Events and AJ Entertainment are organiser or presenter records in this sample.
Ask the venue for the event end
Only Frequency 971 publishes both doors and start times in this set. None of the five venue or organiser records used here publishes a reliable event end time, so leave that field open until the venue provides it.
Run the exact trip in RTA
The RTA Journey Planner, accessed 30 September 2026, provides journey planning, route timetables and stop departures. Enter the exact venue and intended departure time on the event day. For Al Mamzar, Visit Dubai's park page names C28, E308 and E306 as bus routes, but RTA remains the timetable source.
Refresh the venue notice
The Coca-Cola Arena visit page, accessed 30 September 2026, says its parking is paid and on-site availability is subject to capacity. Recheck the venue page on the day rather than carrying that availability forward.
FAQ, checked 30 September 2026
What Dubai events are on Friday 9 October 2026?

Are tickets refundable for these Dubai events?
The condition depends on the event route. Dubai Opera marks both selected shows non-refundable. The triathlon registration page accepts cancellations until 23:59 on 3 October or sooner if the event sells out. The remaining events need their current checkout conditions checked before payment.
How can I check transport home after a Dubai event?
Use the exact venue, date and expected departure time in the official RTA Journey Planner, then recheck the venue's event page for an end time. A general Metro timetable is not a station-specific last-departure record.
