Echoes of the Sand returns to Dubai this week

Echoes of the sand

From sunrise yoga to starlit DJ sets, this event offers a transformative desert festival experience

 

The Dubai desert comes alive like never before this weekend with Echoes of the Sand, a visionary 72-hour festival that blends world-class music, immersive wellness, and luxury desert living.

From 20-23 November, Terra Solis Dubai will transform into a sanctuary of rhythm, reflection, and connection, offering guests a chance to experience the dunes in a way that is as soulful as it is electrifying.

 

A lineup that moves the desert

At the heart of the festival is a carefully curated lineup of electronic music legends and rising stars.

Claptone, the masked house icon, brings deep grooves and mystery to the desert nights, while Nicky Romero delivers high-energy sets that merge emotion and power.

Romero’s darker alter ego, Monocule, takes audiences on hypnotic, progressive journeys designed for the open desert landscape.

Other headliners include Kevin de Vries, whose melodic techno bridges euphoria and introspection; Dynoro, a chart-topping powerhouse igniting the sands with infectious energy; Ten Walls, the cinematic techno maestro; Sainte Vie, blending live performance and electronic passion; and David Vendetta, the French house veteran.

Complementing the international acts, rising regional and global talent add local rhythm and energy, ensuring a festival experience that is as dynamic as it is unforgettable.

 

From sunrise to stars

Each day begins with wellness activations, from sunrise yoga, meditation, and sound healing to coffee and cacao ceremonies that ground and energise participants.

As the day unfolds, you can join poolside gatherings, creative workshops, and immersive daytime sessions that foster community and connection.

When night falls, the desert transforms into a glowing amphitheatre where powerful DJ sets, light installations, and performances echo through the dunes, merging nature and rhythm in a truly unique experience.

 

A festival unlike any other

Echoes of the Sand is redefining what a festival can be, merging music, mindfulness, and the majesty of the desert into a transformative experience.
