Why it suits a budget
The Arts Center is where several of the lowest prices in The National's round-up sit: AED 52.50 for Nass and Ramadaniyat, AED 78.75 for the Ziad Rahbani tribute and AED 150 for the December recitals, against AED 295 or more for many arena shows. The programme mixes Arabic music, classical recitals and festivals, so it is a good place to try something new. Confirm times and booking on the centre's own programme page.
