Defected in Dubai
November 9 @ 4:00 pm - November 10 @ 12:00 am
Following our weekend debut last year, we will return to Dubai from 9th – 10th November 2024. In 2023, we brought an incredibly diverse line-up of house favorites to the United Arab Emirates for our first weekend-long takeover. The celebration was a major triumph as we invited music lovers from across the globe to get lost in the music as one.
This year, we’re returning once again to Soul Beach at the Mina Jebel Ali port, offering the best the marina can offer. Get ready to listen to the best with Folamour, Sam Divine, Eliza Rose, A-Trak, Monki and more.
At our beach party on Saturday 9th November, expect nothing but the most exceptional offering of house music brought to life by the venue’s top-tier production and scenic views across the Persian Gulf.
On Sunday 10th November, our pool party is the ultimate day-to-night affair. From sun-kissed beats to house favorites, the poolside is where you’ll want to be.
How to get there
By car: Drive south on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) for about 30-40 kilometers and take Exit 13 for Jebel Ali Free Zone South/Port, then follow the signs to the resort. The drive usually takes around 40-50 minutes depending on traffic.
By taxi: You can also take a taxi to JA Resort from anywhere in Dubai. It’s a famous destination and most drivers will be familiar with the location.
