Corporate Cultural Events in Dubai and the UAE

We are Purrple Orryx, a Dubai corporate event company organising cultural events for businesses since 2013. We plan UAE National Day, Ramadan, Eid, Christmas and Chinese New Year celebrations for staff, clients and partners, with Emirati heritage experiences, local art performances and festival formats, managed end to end across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

In short

Purrple Orryx plans cultural events in Dubai and across the UAE for companies marking UAE National Day, Ramadan, Eid, Christmas and Chinese New Year with staff, clients and partners. We run the whole event, from traditional Emirati experiences and heritage festival formats to local art performances, set up and on the day management.

How we deliver this

National Day and cultural moments are delivered as corporate events for businesses and their people. We deliver this as part of complete, end-to-end corporate events: concept, production and on-site delivery handled by one team.

Plan your event

01

Which cultural occasions do companies celebrate with us?

01

UAE National Day

We plan National Day celebrations for offices, staff and client audiences: Emirati heritage corners, traditional music and dance, themed decor and food, planned around your venue and your working day so the cultural celebration fits the business calendar. See our National Day celebrations page.

02

Ramadan and Eid

From corporate iftar gatherings to Eid celebrations for teams, we handle the venue, set up, food and programme. Our Ramadan events page covers the formats companies book with us most.

03

Christmas and year end

Many of our clients mark Christmas with staff and families. For CANPACK we delivered a Christmas carnival family day for about 500 employees and family members at JA Resort Jebel Ali, confirmed one week out and run in cold, windy conditions.

04

Chinese New Year and global occasions

Dubai teams come from many cultures. We organise Chinese New Year and other global culture events for companies that want an inclusive cultural party or gathering for their workplace community, partners and clients.

02

What does a traditional Emirati experience include?

A traditional Emirati experience gives your guests a window into the customs of the UAE: authentic music and dance, traditional crafts, clothing and cuisine. We build it as a standalone cultural event or as one part of a conference, team day or client evening.

It works well for new joiners, visiting delegations and international teams who want to understand the country they work in. We can also run it as a hands on team building activity, with guests taking part rather than watching.

Can you run a heritage festival for our company?

Yes. If you are looking for who organises cultural festivals in Dubai for a company audience, this is what we do: traditional performances, cultural showcases, local crafts and authentic food stalls, laid out as a festival for your staff, their families or your clients.

A heritage festival often sits inside a family day, with craft stations and food alongside the programme. Organising cultural events like this means planning the layout, suppliers, safety and guest flow together, and our cultural events gallery shows the kind of set ups we deliver.

Which local art performances can you book?

We bring local talent into corporate events through music, dance, theatre and live artistic acts that reflect the cultural mix of Dubai. A cultural performance can open a gala, fill a festival stage or run as a feature through an evening, and our entertainment services cover the booking and the show run.

Clients searching for organisers of authentic local arts festivals in the Middle East come to us for the production side: staging, sound, lighting and on the day management. We do not run media campaigns, but on the event side of marketing for cultural events in the UAE we produce the branding, signage and printed material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you organise cultural events for private individuals or the public?

No. We work with businesses only, planning cultural events for a company's staff, families, clients and partners. We do not run weddings, private parties or public ticketed festivals.

Can a cultural celebration be part of a larger corporate event?

Yes. Emirati heritage experiences, local art performances and festival zones often sit inside a family day, conference, gala or team building day, and we plan them as one event.

Do you run cultural events outside Dubai?

Yes. We deliver events across the UAE and in Saudi Arabia from our Dubai base. Our Client Engagement Head can talk through your occasion, venue and guest numbers.
