7 Best Friendship Day Offers In Dubai 2026

Now you can skip the group chat debate and send this link. Bookmark this one before slots fill up, because if you’ve been searching for things to do in Dubai with your bestie, this list covers everything from sunset bubbly to a shot at a free staycation.

1. MARQ Dubai

If your friend group’s idea of celebrating is a dance floor and a proper DJ line-up, MARQ at Dubai Marine Beach Resort is doing Friendship Day as a weekend takeover rather than a one-night thing. Expect back-to-back sets from AERREO, DJ Yogii, DJ Ashkay and DJ Snash across a premium club setting, with the kind of energy that makes for genuinely good photos. Ladies and couples get free entry until midnight with a prior reservation, so lock that in before heading over.

Where: Dubai Marine Beach Resort, Dubai
When: Saturday, 1 August, 11:30 pm – Sunday, 2 August, 5:30 am
Offer: Free entry for ladies and couples till 12 am with a reservation

2. Bar du Port

For the friend group that prefers golden hour over a dance floor, Bar du Port Dubai has teamed up with UAE gifting platform BloomingBox for a one-day-only Friendship Menu. Between 4pm and 8pm, you get two hours of free-flowing bubbles plus a choice of two shareable starters, think rainbow beetroot with goat cheese and pistachios, salmon carpaccio in a Nikkei marinade, or truffle-laced chicken croquettes. BloomingBox blooms are dressing up the venue for the occasion too, so expect a genuinely pretty setting for your group photo.

Where: Port de La Mer
When: Thursday, 30 July, 4 pm – 8 pm
Offer: AED 160 per person for two hours of bubbly and a choice of two starters

3. Novotel Dubai Gold District

Travel-loving friend groups should have this one on their radar. Novotel Dubai Gold District is running a book-one-get-50%-off-the-second-room deal, ideal if you’re planning a proper girls’ or guys’ trip without splitting one room four ways. The catch is that it’s only bookable directly with the hotel, not through the usual booking platforms, so you’ll need to call or email ahead. If staycations are already your thing, it’s worth comparing this against our round-up of Dubai’s best summer staycation offers before you commit.

Where: Sherina Plaza 4 – 111 Road – Al Corniche – Deira
When: Booking window: 15–31 July 2026. Stay dates: 15 Jul – 15 Aug 2026
Offer: 50% off a second room, bookable via hc474@accor.com or +971 4 525 5000

4. LEVA Hotel

This one’s for the friend who tags you in every giveaway post, because this time it’s genuinely worth entering. LEVA Hotel Mazaya Centre Dubai is giving one lucky pair a complimentary one-night staycation for two, Burj Khalifa views included. Entry is simple: follow @leva_hotels on Instagram, like and repost the giveaway post, then tag your friends in separate comments (every tag counts as another entry).
