Dubai: Sound healing offers numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved sleep, heightened focus, and a soothing way to unwind after a long day. If you’re interested in experiencing the therapeutic effects of sound, here are three places in Dubai where you can try sound healing.
The Lost Chambers Aquarium
While The Lost Chambers Aquarium is often filled with the excited chatter of children exploring the exhibits, it transforms into a tranquil oasis during bi-weekly sound healing meditation sessions.
Limited to just 15 adults, these sessions offer a serene escape against the mesmerizing backdrop of the Ambassador Lagoon. As you lie on a yoga mat surrounded by the turquoise glow, therapeutic gongs, and singing bowls guide you into a deep meditative state, all while fish, rays, and sharks drift peacefully by.

Soul Side Wellness
Soul Side Wellness is a self-care studio that has transformed a JLT office space into a serene well-being retreat. Founded by experienced sound practitioner Anishka Bagla, this inviting space features beautiful alcoves, cozy corners, and specialized treatment rooms, including a Himalayan salt healing room.
While meditation and relaxation yoga are also offered, the sound healing sessions truly set Soul Side apart. Whether you opt for a 1-to-1, small group, or regular group session, you’ll begin with guided breathwork before being gently led into a meditative state by the rhythmic sounds of Tibetan bowls.
Anishka enhances the experience by placing the bowls on your stomach, allowing you to feel the profound vibrations.
