No more paper books, The ENTERTAINER has gone 100% digital this 2018 so you can purchase and download the mobile app to get the same exciting discounts in over 7,200 restaurants, attractions, bars, hotels, spas, gyms, leisure activities, etc. They have also launched new and exciting features to enhance their product and their service to its customers.
I’ve been regularly writing about the App during its launches. You can check out my previous posts in 2015, 2016 and 2017 and how this has always been a regular part of our must-haves in Dubai.

New Features in the ENTERTAINER 2018 App
My wife introduced me to The ENTERTAINER 4 years ago when I first arrived in city. Since then, this has always been a useful “Dubai tip” so we could save on dining experiences and adventures. Even when we eat out with friends, this has helped us save a lot of money because of the Buy One Get One offers available.
Blogging my Entertainer Dubai Experiences
As a Dubai blogger, I tend to write about my food experiences and travel adventures in Dubai. I also contribute insights in other websites. Whenever I share some Dubai insider tips, I always recommend the ENTERTAINER App just because this has always been a saver for those who want to maximize their stay in the emirate.
We have used the ENTERTAINER App for Dubai activities in the past such as desert safari adventures, Wild Wadi waterpark, AdventureHQ, etc. as well as dining in various restaurants. As much as possible, I try to blog about the experiences, but some are still left pending to be published. In any case, here are some of the adventures and restaurant experiences where we’ve used the App.
- Pistol & Rifle Firing at Sharjah Golf & Shooting Club
- Italian Cuisine at Fratelli La Bufala in Dubai Festival City
- Eat Greek Restaurant in Mall of the Emirates (soon)
- Buca di Beppo Italian Restaurant at Dubai Festival City (soon)
- Al Awhak Lebanese Resturant in City Centre Deira
- Chili’s, TGI Fridays , Krispy Kreme, Carluccio’s, SOHO Grill, etc.

Hi!
If you are a tourist in Dubai and don’t have WiFi?? Then you can’t use the Entertainer anymore??
Thanks..

Hi Kiki, You can try using data from your telco provider. If the cost for the data is too much, we’ve rarely gone to places in Dubai that don’t have WiFi. Try asking the establishment to connect to their WiFi, or in malls as even malls offer free WiFi.
Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful insights. We are planning to visit Dubai in Feb last week for about 12 days. Should i make purchase on the app while in Dubai or do you recommend buying before we land there? Can we use Entertainer app for offers on various park tickets in Dubai( Dubai parks & resorts,Aquaventure, IMG, Ski Dubai etc) & Abudhabi (Ferrari world, @YAs island etc) on the spot, or do i need to prebook.
Thank you
Regards
Ritu
Hello, you can buy the app anytime (pre or upon arrival) as it is only a download purchase. As for the ticket parks, best to contact/visit the Entertainer website for their advice. More often, you don’t need to pre-book the tickets as the parks you mentioned are big theme parks and are open to everyone (meaning they can accommodate plenty of people). I know that you cannot use the tickets if it’s a public holiday. but other than that, you can just walk in. but still best if you have time to contact them to avoid issues 🙂
Hi, I just purchased the entertainer app.
How do I use it for the dessert safari?
You may look for travel agencies/tour operators that have ‘desert safari’ trips, book through these agencies by calling them and then inform them that you have an Entertainer voucher/app. so they can advise the next steps.
