Cinema Akil in 25hours

What began as a pilot two seasons ago has grown into a cultural fixture. Season 3 arrives just as the city turns to cooler evenings, setting the stage for open-air screenings that lean into the season; from Halloween cult favorites to winter warmers and holiday classics. The new season opens with a Halloween weekend lineup featuring cult classics such as A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and The Addams Family (1991). In November 2025, guests can catch Daye (2024), a touching Egyptian coming-of-age drama directed by Karim El-Shinnawi, and City of God (2002), Fernando Meirelles’ gripping Brazilian crime epic, alongside Hyper: The Stevie Hyper D Story (2024), a documentary by Jamie Ross-Hulme celebrating the legacy of the jungle MC pioneer. December brings back festive favourites like Home Alone (1990) to the big screen. The kickoff of the third season also aligns with the launch of 25hours Jump Street, a highly awaited dining destination in the heart of Dubai.
