🎉 Dubai birthday ideas for big groups (10+ friends)

December 17, 2025

So, you’ve got 10+ friends, a birthday coming up, and zero desire to do another dinner + dessert combo. We get it — planning for a large group isn’t easy in a city like Dubai where everything looks Instagrammable, but not everything is built for 12 people with different tastes.

Luckily, we’ve compiled the most original, stress-free and super fun birthday activities in Dubai for large squads like yours.

Let’s go. 🎈

🧠 1. Book an immersive game show at Quiz Room Dubai

If your group wants more than just small talk and selfies, Quiz Room Dubai is the ultimate birthday plan for groups of 10 to 18 players. Think: real-life game show buzzers, lights, sound effects, and friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition. No one gets bored — even your friend who “doesn’t do quizzes” will end up shouting answers.

You get split into teams, with custom questions, themes like movies, pop culture, general knowledge
 and even a Blindtest Music Quiz if you're feeling the rhythm.

🧠 Choose the Original Quiz Game for a hilarious and intense showdown.
đŸŽ¶ Or check out the Blindtest Game if your group prefers a music-fueled battle.

💡 Bonus: You can personalize questions, bring your own cake, and snap group photos after your match. It’s the perfect mix of fun and unforgettable memories.

📍Located in the heart of Dubai, so no excuses about "too far."

đŸœïž 2. Rent a private dining space with karaoke vibes

You’ve done restaurants. Now level up. Book a private dining room with built-in karaoke so your group can eat, sing, and celebrate without noise complaints.

Some hotels and high-end lounges in Dubai offer karaoke dining suites — think Asia Asia, Lucky Voice, or even private villas on The Palm.

Tip: Make sure the space handles big groups comfortably and has a solid sound system. No one wants to hear Adele through a phone speaker.

đŸ›„ïž 3. Charter a private yacht for the squad

Yes, it’s a bit “extra.” But in Dubai, that’s kind of the point. Chartering a private yacht for 10–20 people is more accessible than you think, especially if you split the cost.

Bring your own food, drinks, music playlist, and float into the sunset with your birthday crew. Many rental services even include a photographer or drone option. Yes, really.

Just make sure your group can handle the sea breeze and the group selfie stick.

🧁 4. DIY party with a twist: baking or art experience

For a slightly slower-paced — but super fun — activity, why not book a group baking workshop, painting class, or pottery studio?

Places like Cake and Bake Dubai, The Mud House, or ARTE Museum offer tailored sessions for private groups. You'll leave with handmade creations, a full stomach, and maybe some icing in your hair.

It’s also a great indoor option, especially if you’re celebrating during peak heat months.

đŸ•č 5. Group gaming lounges or VR arenas

If your group leans into tech, consider renting a few hours at a gaming lounge or VR center. Some top options around Dubai include:

  • VR Park Dubai Mall

  • Hub Zero

  • Arena Games

You can play in teams or compete head-to-head. Many lounges also offer birthday packages for large groups with food and drinks included.

💃 6. Book a themed party venue (costume optional)

There are some hidden gems in Dubai that let you customize your entire party experience — think disco themes, glow parties, retro nights.

Look into The Warehouse or Rixos Premium which offer party packages that scale for larger groups. Add a DJ, balloon arch, custom cake, and boom — it's a party.
