First phase of Reel Cinemas complex opens at Dubai’s Al Ghurair Centre

The much-anticipated first phase of the Reel Cinemas complex at Dubai’s Al Ghurair Centre has opened to the public.

This stage of the development delivers eight state-of-the-art cinema theatres with cutting-edge audiovisual technology, as well as an attractive F&B area. The cinema complex sits in its own dedicated, two-level wing, which connects to the rest of the centre via a link bridge.

Opening in time to show the eagerly awaited Avengers: Endgame, among other regional, Bollywood and international films, the Reel Cinemas scheme is a fitting addition to the region’s first ever shopping centre, helping to bring a strong sense of experience to the flagship destination.

Another 10 theatres will open later this year, with options for moviegoers at the 7,000m2 complex including a Dolby Cinema, luxury Platinum Suites and a Reel Junior theatre for kids – providing something for all the family. The finished scheme will accommodate 1,800 seats across its 18 cinema theatres.

Chapman Taylor acted as Lead Architect , creating the design concepts and then working closely with contractor Al Tayer Stocks to detail and deliver this project on behalf of Emaar Entertainment.
