I absolutely loved Aya Universe! From the moment I stepped in, the entire experience felt truly magical. The design and ambience are stunning, making it feel like stepping into a completely different world. The Celestial Room was definitely the highlight of my visit—we played, laughed, and felt like kids again, completely immersed in the interactive lights and visuals. Every corner offered something new to explore, and the attention to detail was remarkable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive experience. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and full of joy. Aya Universe is the perfect place for a fun day out with friends or family, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Each of its 12 zones blends art and technology beautifully, creating dreamlike spaces filled with interactive effects, glowing gardens, and futuristic landscapes. The visuals are stunning, the atmosphere is calming yet exciting, and every corner feels magical and photo-worthy. Perfect for families, couples, and solo explorers, AYA offers a unique escape from reality where you can wander freely and enjoy moments of pure wonder. It’s a must-visit attraction in Dubai for anyone who loves creativity, innovation, and unforgettable experiences.

Absolutely loved Aya Universe it felt like stepping into another world. The immersive visuals lighting and themes were breathtaking and every room had its own magic. It is such a unique experience perfect for photos videos and just getting lost in the moment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. ❤️ Booking through Headout was super easy and hassle free.

Totally worth it and I would book again the same way. 💕

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Booked my desert safari through the Headout app on my first Dubai trip, and the experience was absolutely seamless. The booking process was super smooth and convenient, with clear details and instant confirmation. The safari itself was well-organized, the experience was amazing, and the food was surprisingly good. Everything went exactly as promised..no confusion, no last-minute stress. Highly recommend Headout for hassle-free bookings, especially if it’s your first time in Dubai! 🌵✨

    Actually, a desert rally with seven people in the car, eight including the driver, is very uncomfortable. We said there were four of us, but even so, they put us together with another group of three in a single car. We were crammed into the back of the 4x4, and it was so hot, it felt like we were in a pressure cooker. It was horrible, we almost threw up... It wasn't pleasant. Thankfully, it only lasted about 15 minutes. After that, the rest was very good, the food and the show were wonderful. Congratulations.

    Actually, everything was nice, but in a highly developed and beautiful city like Dubai, it could have been done in a more impressive way. For example, the music volume was too loud, and some other improvements are needed. And when entering the rainy section, it would have been ideal if the water had been paused for about 2 seconds.

    It was fun, just one remark - we went gor quad exp that we didnt want and stayed in there for almost an hour - lost time. But as soon as we got to destination - jeep ride, sandboarding, bbq and shows were great. Worth every penny. Our Driver Shafiq was taking care of us till dropping us back to hotel! Thx
