Cinema Akil is an amazing independent art-house cinema in Dubai. It was founded in 2018 by Butheina Kazim and is dedicated to showcasing films that aren’t typically found in mainstream cinemas. 

They focus on independent films worldwide, especially from regions like East Africa, South and West Asia, and the MENA area. I love how they’re enriching Dubai’s cultural scene with such diverse and thought-provoking content.

The furniture and decor create this homey atmosphere that I find so inviting. Oh, and they have this awesome tea spot called Project Chaiwala, where you can grab some organic chai and delicious snacks like smashmosas and chai toasts. 

What’s also great is that the cinema hosts film festivals and community events, making it a real hub for film lovers. It’s like a little escape from the hustle and bustle of Dubai, where you can immerse yourself in films and connect with other movie enthusiasts.
