Show Overview
La Perle by Dragone is not just a show — it's a full-sensory spectacle. Conceived by legendary artistic director Franco Dragone (Cirque du Soleil, Celine Dion's Las Vegas shows), La Perle is Dubai's first permanent theatrical production and runs exclusively at Al Habtoor City.
The show takes place in a purpose-built 1,300-seat aqua-theatre with a 2.7-million-litre pool as its centrepiece. Over 90 minutes, 65 artists — divers, acrobats, aerialists, motorcyclists, and even synchronized swimmers — perform high-dive plunges from 25 metres, aerial silk acts, motorcycle globe stunts, and dramatic underwater sequences.
The story follows a young pearl diver's journey through Dubai's past and future. Stunning visual design, original music, dramatic lighting, and seamless transitions make La Perle one of the most talked-about shows in the Middle East.
Perfect for families, couples, and anyone wanting a world-class evening show. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What Our Guests Say
Absolutely spectacular! The high-dive sequence gave me goosebumps. Nothing like it anywhere. Worth every dirham — book Silver at minimum.
Took my kids (8 and 11) — they were mesmerized the entire time. The motorcycle globe stunts made their jaws drop. Highly recommend for families.
