La Perle by Dragone - Dubai’s Ultimate Aqua Show
Ever wondered what it feels like to sit surrounded by water, fire, aerial acrobats, and lights all at once? La Perle by Dragone delivers just that. The show takes place in a custom-built aqua-theatre with 1,300 seats spread over just 14 rows, offering a nearly 270° view of the stage. The stage itself holds 2.7 million litres of water that can flood and drain in seconds, allowing artists to dive from up high, fly overhead at up to 15 km/h, and perform stunts both in the air and in the water.
With Captain Dunes, you’ll skip the fuss, grab the best seats, and soak in every jaw-dropping moment with ease.
Things To Do At La Perle

- Be dazzled by acrobatics, gymnastic acts, contortion, and water stunts choreographed in sync with lighting and projections.
- Catch the diving from about 25–35 meters height into the aqua stage - dramatic, breathtaking moments.
