Coca-Cola Arena, Multi-purpose arena in City Walk, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Coca-Cola Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in City Walk, Dubai, opened on 6 June 2019 with a capacity of 17,000. Its curved facade is clad in a diagonal grid of red and dark panels crossed by illuminated white script reading "Coca-Cola arena", with a glass lower wall and a flat canopy over the entrance. A tall thin spire rises from the roof.
The hall's construction began in early 2017 and reached completion after about two and a half years in June 2019. The opening of the building marked a turning point for Dubai's event offerings and expanded the possibilities for concerts and sporting events in the city.
The hall hosts performers from the Emirates and the wider Middle East, while international tours also appear on its stage. Visitors experience a mix of Arabic concerts, Western shows, and sporting events that reflect Dubai's growing role as an entertainment destination.
Access to the hall is through Dubai Mall Metro Station, from where walkways and connections lead to City Walk. Tickets for events can be booked through the official website or authorized platforms, with availability varying depending on the event.
The roof structure can carry 190 tonnes of production equipment, and the building holds 17 elevators, 26 escalators, four sports changing rooms, eight artist dressing rooms and 35 concession stands. The arena has at least 28 wheelchair-accessible seats, with the number set by each event's layout.
