Large open-air lounge with skyline views, featuring DJs & live music plus cocktails & fusion food.

Iris at Meydan is Dubai's most atmospheric rooftop party venue - a vast open-air terrace perched above the Meydan Racecourse with the city skyline as its permanent backdrop. The regular lineup of international and resident DJs keeps the energy high from evening through to midnight. A large pool deck, premium bottle service and a reliable crowd of Dubai's social set make Iris the default choice for a properly good Friday or Saturday night.
