The latest addition to Dubai’s booming hospitality sector is set to raise the benchmark in luxury and opulence.

Only recently, Dubai’s $8.7 trillion economic plan was announced which seeks to bring about a massive boost to Dubai’s fortunes. Dubai has also laid down the UAE Tourism Strategy 2031 which has set an ambitious target of the city welcoming 40 million guests to its hotels every year. With the new Strategy, Dubai hopes to see an annual rise of revenues to the tune of $7 million as new investments worth a whopping $27 million are attracted to the city. Atlantis The Royal hopes to cash in on the promising future that beckons Dubai.

The Gala Opening Ceremony

As Dubai prepares to welcome the newest feather in its cap, Atlantis The Royal, it calls for a grand celebration. The people behind Atlantis The Royal are gearing up to deliver a gala opening ceremony that has been the talk of the town for some time now. It looks like the city won’t be disappointed, what with a grand fireworks ceremony planned for the special occasion.

What’s more, Beyonce will be performing live at the opening ceremony in what will be her first concert after a gap of five years before a select audience. She has been paid as much as $24 million for performing here. It shows how the organizers are leaving no stone unturned to make it a night to remember.

The popular DJ trio that gave us hits like Save the World, Don’t You Worry Child, and Moth to a Flame has also been invited to perform at the opening ceremony. They performed in the UAE the last time in November 2022 at the Formula 1 after-race concert. Dubai waits with bated breath for what promises to be an unforgettable spectacle.
