All brands have undertaken extensive precautionary measures and put in place an all-encompassing sanitisation and physical distancing plan.

Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure that we can safely reopen and we have proactively introduced innovative new measures to allay any concerns that our guests may have. We are excited, prepared and ready to welcome back our guests and employees and look forward to reopening more of our entertainment experiences across the region as restrictions are eased.”

Majid Al Futtaim’s leisure, entertainment and cinema experiences are exceeding recommended guidelines to ensure that guests can have an exceptional experience with added peace of mind. Surfaces will be cleaned and sanitised after every guest interaction to ensure the highest levels of safety and cleanliness. It is also now mandatory for employees to wear masks and gloves, and all team members will have their temperatures checked on arrival for their shifts.

Safe distancing ambassadors have been introduced and instructional signage has been installed to guide guests on best physical distancing practices.
