Authentic Emirati hospitality
Majlis Tent Rental in Dubai
Our Arabic majlis tents bring genuine tradition to your gathering, with Sadu-pattern textiles, low floor seating and qibla-aware layouts. Perfect for family majlis, Ramadan iftar, Eid, weddings and condolence gatherings across Dubai.
The tradition
What Is an Arabic Majlis Tent?
The majlis is the heart of Arabic and Emirati hospitality, a place to gather, welcome guests and share coffee and conversation. A majlis tent recreates that setting outdoors, with low seating, traditional textiles and a layout built around welcoming people in, not seating them at distant tables. We keep every detail authentic, from the Sadu patterns to the seating orientation.

Majlis questions
Majlis Tent Rental in Dubai, Frequently Asked Questions
A majlis tent is a traditional Arabic sitting tent used to host guests. It is defined by low floor seating, Sadu-pattern textiles and a welcoming layout, rather than the tables and chairs of a Western marquee. It is central to Emirati hospitality for family, Ramadan, Eid and condolence gatherings.
Yes. Ramadan is our busiest majlis season. We set up iftar and suhoor majlis tents for families, communities and companies, with cooling, lighting and seating ready for long evenings. Because Ramadan dates shift each year, book early to secure your setup.
Yes, and we handle these bookings with priority and discretion. A condolence majlis is time-sensitive, so we respond quickly, install calmly and style the tent respectfully, so the family can focus on receiving guests.
A majlis tent centres on traditional low seating, Sadu textiles and Arabic hospitality. A wedding marquee is built around a ceremony and a seated or standing reception with tables, a stage and a dance floor. Many weddings include both, a main marquee plus a majlis area.
Sizes and capacity
Majlis Tent Sizes and Seating Capacity
A majlis suits low Arabic floor seating, which fits more guests than chairs and tables. These are common sizes and how many each holds either way.
| Structure size | Floor area | Majlis floor seating | Chairs and tables |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 x 9 m | 54 sqm | Around 60 | Around 40 |
| 9 x 12 m | 108 sqm | Around 120 | Around 80 |
| 12 x 18 m | 216 sqm | Around 230 | Around 150 |
| 15 x 24 m | 360 sqm | Around 380 | Around 250 |
Floor seating with cushions and Sadu textiles fits more guests than seated dining. We plan qibla-aware and gender-considerate layouts on request.
