These will be the last eight performances of the show in Dubai and the last chance to see Alegría under the "Grand Chapiteau" or big tent anywhere in the world.

On Saturday 14 March, customers who buy their tickets from select Dnata Travel outlets across the UAE will also benefit from a special two for one ticket offer on the final week's tickets.
Alegría kicked off in Dubai on March 5 at Ibn Battuta Mall and has enjoyed sold out performances during its first week.

The run features evening performances daily (excluding Sundays and Monday except Sunday 5 April) as well as matinee performances on Friday and Saturday. All shows offer a special family only seating section, which takes into consideration the local cultural customs.

"Witnessing the excitement Alegría has created in Dubai has been wonderful. The show has inspired immense interest and admiration from the audience. We don't want anyone to miss out on seeing the show and with this fabulous two-for-one offer at Dnata Travel outlets we hope more people will be able to come along. Tickets are selling fast however, so book soon!"

You can buy these special offer tickets at dozens of our well-located outlets across the UAE."
