- The programme began in 2018 and combines physical and mental challenges with teamwork and art.

The Dubai Mall hosts Emarat Al Aman - Season 7 in Dubai from 2 to 5 November 2026. The programme takes place at Zabeel and combines physical and mental challenges, teamwork and art within one of the United Arab Emirates' largest visitor complexes.
The event is listed for the shopping centre under the name Emarat Al Aman - Season 7. The mall operator says the programme was launched by SIRA in 2018 and describes the current edition as a community event focused on unity, safety and shared responsibility.
Emarat Al Aman brings four days to Zabeel
The official listing places the programme at Zabeel, Dubai Mall, from Monday 2 November to Thursday 5 November 2026. It names physical and mental challenges, teamwork and art as the central elements, but does not publish a detailed timetable or a list of individual activities.
For travellers, the important point is the location: the event is not presented as a separate city-wide festival. Its venue is a named part of the Dubai complex, linking the four-day programme directly with a large indoor destination that also contains retail, dining and leisure facilities. The listing identifies SIRA as the organisation behind the wider initiative and the mall as the venue.
The event listing can be checked through the Emarat Al Aman programme listing, which carries both the dates and the Zabeel venue.
The Dubai Mall links a 2008 opening with new community events
The scale of the venue gives the November programme a particular setting. Guinness World Records records the complex as covering 1,124,000 square metres (12.1 million square feet), with four levels, about 1,200 retail outlets and more than 160 food and beverage outlets. It opened its doors on 4 November 2008.
That opening date falls during the same week as Emarat Al Aman in 2026, although the event is not described as an anniversary programme. The connection is instead practical: a large retail and leisure complex that opened in 2008 is being used as a venue for a public-facing programme centred on shared activities and community participation.
The official site describes the centre as being in Downtown Dubai and lists attractions including Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, Fashion Avenue and entertainment facilities. The operator also confirms that visitors can reach the complex from Dubai Metro through the Link Bridge. Further information about the destination appears on the official Dubai Mall overview.
The Guinness record gives the venue a measurable context, while the November programme uses one of its named areas, Zabeel, for activities that are not primarily about shopping. This places the event within the mall's broader role as a combined retail, entertainment and community destination.
