English and Arabic, and also Hindi, Spanish and French.

Sound, a stage setup and lighting can be supplied. If the venue has house sound, the band can use it. The quote states what is included.

An acoustic duo needs a corner. A band for 60 to 150 guests needs at least 2 by 2 metres. Above 150 guests, plan a stage or riser.

Hotels and licensed venues arrange it. Public spaces, malls, beach clubs and outdoor venues open to the public usually need an event permit. Private villas usually do not. Your venue or organiser confirms.

An Arabic oud and qanun duo usually costs AED 3,000 to AED 5,500 and a 4 to 6 piece showband AED 15,000 to AED 28,000. Jazz bands and acoustic duos are quoted per event.

Small line-ups on a normal date can often be confirmed 3 to 10 days ahead. Bigger bands and peak season weddings need weeks to months.

Yes. Travel from Dubai is part of the quote.
