Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Dubai

The Middle East Classical Music Academy (MECMA) will take place at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, a palatial hotel nestled on the West Crescent of Dubai's Palm Jumeirah. Noted for its ornate and lavish interiors, this palace-like hotel embodies the extravagance of the Ottoman Empire's Tulip Era, and welcomes numerous visitors from across the world each year to attend its entertainment and dining venues. The 5-star hotel shall be serving as the location for the Academy’s masterclasses, with the professors set to make use of some of the venue’s many purposefully-adapted halls for this end.

The MECMA daily lunchtime concerts will be held at MusicHall at the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray – a world-famous venue, that has played host to some of the biggest musical celebrations that the United Arab Emirates city has ever seen.
