1 / 5Cinema Akil in 25hours
📍 Trade Center Second, Dubai
Cinema Akil offers a unique outdoor cinema experience with plush seating and quality films from around the world.
Such a great, well organized experience. A lovely little community, and some of the nicest staff and security in thie city. Watched Dog Day Afternoon. The movies start around 10 minutes after the posted show times, and there was plenty of seating available. The place is well decorated with a nice atmosphere. The sound system and the screen are great, especially for a part outdoor cinema. Noise from neighboring places / cars can intrude in the experience, but it wasnt too distracting. To top it off, free valet parking is included with your ticket. They made the experience so accessible and effortless for anyone into movies, or just looking for a good time. Definitely coming back.

From fully fledged film festivals to one-off special screenings and exclusive events, this is a cinema experience you will not find anywhere else in the UAE. By showcasing directors and films from across the decades, Cinema Akil aims to create awareness and interest in film and the cinematic arts. Launched in 2014, the one-screen cinema is a cosy experience with plush couches, incredible audio, and vintage posters adorning the walls. Seating is unassigned, so might sure to arrive a little early.”
