Dubai has two big cinemas showing up to 10 different movies in each. These are both relatively new and very clean and well-maintained. Movies can be a bit old but they change each week. Tickets are about Dhs 30 ($11).
CineStar is located within Deira City Centre, on the Deira side of the Creek. Grand Cineplex is located just past Wafi Mall which is just over the Garhoud bridge.
