Renowned for its mosaic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean heritage, ALAYA is extending its cultural journey through a dynamic lineup of live music. Turning every weekend into a celebration of flavour, rhythm, and revelry, guests can now look forward to captivating sessions from Pascale Farhat, DJ Ray Ro, and Hawazin. With new magnetic sounds filling the venue from Thursday to Saturday, gather your crew, sip an eclectic cocktail, and see where the night takes you.
Located in the pulse of the bustling DIFC, ALAYA welcomes guests with its warm and refined interiors, layered with elegant marble finishes, handcrafted tiles, and a palette inspired by the land it draws from. Transporting guests to the colourful souks and coasts of the Eastern Mediterranean, every detail has been crafted to tell a story, creating a space that is equal parts immersive and intimate.
Adding another layer to the sensory journey, ALAYA now presents a diverse schedule of soundscapes and live music. The performances begin on Thursdays and Saturdays at 8:30 PM with Lebanese percussionist Pascale Farhat delivering three high-energy sets that bridge East and West. Her hypnotic blend of oriental and occidental rhythms captures the essence of ALAYA’s cultural roots, setting the tone for an unforgettable night alongside the Afro-infused sounds of DJ Ray Ro, who weaves Arabic, Latin, and global influences into every beat.
Keeping the tempo up on Fridays, the spotlight shifts to Hawazin, taking the stage from 9:00 PM with three mesmerising sets of tribal electronic house. Known for their live improvisation, the band masterfully blends traditional instruments like the oud, nay, and qanun with deep house grooves and modern synths that will keep guests on their feet well into the night.
For the full ALAYA experience, guests can choose to begin the night with a spread of vibrant sharing-style plates. As the beats build and the night unfolds, toast to the weekend with handcrafted cocktails like the tropical ‘Lost Oasis’ or the bold, umami-rich ‘Dallah Negroni,’ each one carefully shaken and stirred by the venue’s talented mixologists.
ALAYA is the ultimate weekend spot in DIFC for those who crave bold flavors, dynamic sounds, and magnetic energy all in one place. Each night invites you to escape into something unexpected, where every dish, drink, and note comes together in perfect harmony. Reserve your table, gather your crew, and get ready to raise the volume on your weekend ritual.
