After several months of closure, Dubai cinemas have now been given the go-ahead to reopen to the public. While this is a sign that life in Dubai is beginning to return to normal, there are a few new measures in place to ensure the safety of all visitors.
Here’s what Dubai cinemas are doing to prepare to welcome you back.

Vox is ready to open its doors again today, Wednesday May 27, in all of its Dubai locations. The cinema also recently launched its drive-in concept which also reopens today, and runs daily at 7.30pm. To ensure the safety of its visitors, Vox has carried out a number of cleaning processes, including using fogging machines to disinfect large areas, and cleaning all guest interaction surfaces.
The capacity has been reduced and physical distancing measures have been put in place in all venues. Guests are encouraged to book their tickets online and pay with contactless methods. All guests are required to wear face masks, while staff members will need to wear a mask, gloves and have a temperature check on arrival.
