Majlis Seating for Events and Gatherings

The right majlis seating depends on how your guests will sit and for how long. A high majlis sofa suits formal receptions and mixed-age groups, while low floor seating with mattresses and cushions suits long, relaxed gatherings. Most of our events use a mix of both.

KEY FACTS

• Areeka’s Arabic majlis range has dozens of rental pieces, from sofas and floor seating to carpets, tables, lamps and tents.
• High Arabic Majlis sofas rent from AED 125 for a single seater to AED 520 for a 3-seater with arms.
• Low floor seating includes mattresses (AED 100 to AED 130) and cushions (AED 10 to AED 30).
• Areeka has delivered more than 24,000 events across the UAE since 2012.

Delivery, setup and dismantling are handled by Areeka’s team across all Emirates.

Which majlis seating suits your event?

Choose by guest comfort first and tradition second. A sofa majlis gives structure and back support, which matters for elderly guests, long receptions and corporate hospitality.

Floor seating is the more traditional look. Low mattresses, back cushions and side cushions create a relaxed setting for iftar, Eid and family evenings. In our experience, hosts who want both often place sofas along the walls and floor seating in the centre or in a tent.

What majlis sofa options can you rent?

Our range runs from simple high sofas to armed and wooden-framed designs. Single, 2-seater and 3-seater versions let you size each seating group to the room.

Prices below are rental prices listed on our majlis category page. Check each product page for current availability and details.

Piece	Price (AED)
High Arabic Majlis Single Seater Sofa	125
High Arabic Majlis 3-Seater Sofa	375
High Arabic Majlis 3-Seater Sofa with Arms	520
Norfolk Arabic 3-Seater Wooden Sofa	475
Bratley Arabic Ottoman	175

What goes with a majlis sofa?

Seating alone does not make a majlis. Low coffee tables, Arabic carpets, cushions and lamps complete the setting and give guests somewhere to place coffee and dates.

We offer tables such as the Mahdia Mashrabiya coffee table and the pallet-style Braun low tables, shown in the image above. Carpets in Lime, Ocean and Fire rent at AED 120 each, and an Arabic lamp is AED 30.

How do you plan quantities and layout?

Start with guest count, venue and the time guests will stay. Seat the most senior guests on sofas facing the entrance, and keep walkways clear for serving.

Tell us the date, venue and style when you request a quote. We recommend quantities and alternatives, then deliver, set up and dismantle.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix sofas and floor seating?

Yes. Many hosts place sofas around the edge and mattresses and cushions in the centre, so guests can choose.

Do you deliver majlis furniture across the UAE?

Yes. We coordinate delivery, setup and dismantling in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other Emirates.

Chiavari, Dior, folding or plastic: choosing event chairs

The right event chair depends on how long your guests will sit and how formal the room is. Chiavari and Dior chairs suit weddings and gala dinners, folding chairs suit large, practical set-ups, and banquet chairs with stretch covers are the economical choice for big numbers. Here is how we advise clients on chair rental in Dubai.

KEY FACTS

• Areeka has delivered more than 24,000 events across the UAE since 2012.
• The White Chiavari Chair and Gold Chiavari Chair are listed at AED 15 each.
• The Dior Dining Chair and Black Dior Dining Chair are listed at AED 35 each.
• The Nouveau Black Folding Chair is listed at AED 25.

The Stewart Banquet Chair with stretch cover is listed at AED 11.

Which chair suits a wedding or gala dinner?

For a formal seated dinner, Chiavari and Dior chairs are the two we recommend most. A Chiavari has a slim, classic frame and works well in gold, white or clear acrylic. A Dior has a fuller, more sculpted back and looks richer from across the room.

Our Dior range includes white, black, gold and midnight finishes, with matching armchair versions for head tables. If you want the stage or the couple to stand out, the Crown VIP Armchair does that job. If you want the seating to stay quiet, the Dauphin Ghost Acrylic Chair lets your tables and décor lead.

When are folding or banquet chairs the better choice?

Conferences, product launches, symposiums and large receptions often need volume, speed and simple storage. Here a folding chair or a banquet chair makes more sense than a statement piece.

Our Stewart Banquet Chair comes with a white or black stretch cover and is the most economical option in the range. The Nouveau Black Folding Chair gives a neat, dark look for rows of seating.

For seating that guests will use for hours, check the product page for the seat style before you commit.

How do the main chair types compare on price?

Prices below are the listed per-chair rates on our chairs page, so you can weigh style against budget before you request a quote.

Chair	Listed price (AED)	Best for
White or Gold Chiavari Chair	15	Weddings, banquets, dinners
Clear Acrylic Chiavari Chair	23	Light, modern settings
Dior Dining Chair (black, gold or standard)	35	Gala dinners, upscale receptions
Nouveau Black Folding Chair	25	Conferences, practical seating
Stewart Banquet Chair with stretch cover	11	Large guest numbers

How do you decide for your own event?

Start with three details: guest count, how long people will sit, and the style of the venue. Then match the chair to the moment. Dining guests need a proper seat, while a reception crowd may only perch for twenty minutes.

You can browse the full range under chair rental Dubai, then send us your date, venue and guest count. We suggest quantities and alternatives, and our team handles delivery, setup and dismantling across the UAE.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Chiavari and a Dior chair?

A Chiavari has a slim, classic frame, while a Dior has a more sculpted, substantial look. Both suit formal dining, and both are available in several finishes.

Do you deliver chairs outside Dubai?

Yes. Areeka coordinates delivery, setup and dismantling across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE.

What information do you need for a quote?

Your event date, venue, guest count, preferred style and access details help us recommend suitable chairs and prepare an accurate quotation.

Can I mix chair styles at one event?

Yes. Many clients use a statement armchair at the head table and Chiavari or Dior chairs for guests.

Furniture Rental: Own Less, Host More

 

What you need to know: Furniture rental lets you host different types of events without spending money on pieces you may only use a few times a year. At Areeka Event Rentals, you can rent stylish furniture for any event at affordable prices every time. You’ll also benefit from timely delivery and set-up services, which are already included in the price.

Even if you host events several times a year, buying everything doesn’t always make financial sense. You can always turn to furniture rental services on an as-needed basis. It’s the most efficient way to access different styles and sizes, as well as new trends, without buying the pieces you might only use a few times.

Forget about storage and maintenance

When you buy furniture for an event, you have to think about what happens to it afterwards, such as storage and keeping it in good condition.

That can mean more expenses on top of what you already paid for the furniture. If you’re looking after dozens of pieces, those costs can quickly add up. You might rather put that money towards other important things, like catering and entertainment.

With furniture rental, you don’t have to worry about any of that. You use the furniture for your event, then return it when you’re done. The rental company takes care of storage and maintenance, giving you a few less things to deal with between events.

Choose furniture that fits each event

Think about how different one event can look from the next. A corporate function may call for clean, contemporary seating, while a wedding might need something softer and more elegant.

Buying furniture can limit you to the pieces you already own. Meanwhile, renting gives you more freedom to change the look each time. With furniture rental, you can choose different styles and quantities based on the venue and occasion.

See how much you could save

By comparing individual pieces, you can see the upfront difference between renting and buying event furniture.

 

	Typical rental cost in Dubai	Example purchase cost in Dubai	Potential difference for one event
Dining chair	AED 26–45 each	AED 125–350 each	About AED 80–324 less per chair
Dining table	AED 375–450 each	AED 795–2,495 each	About AED 345–2,120 less per table
Coffee table	AED 75–150 each	AED 600–1,500	About AED 450–1,425 less
2-seater sofa	Around AED 350	Around AED 995	Around AED 645 less upfront
3-seater sofa	Around AED 650	AED 2,000–4,000	Around AED 1,350–3,350 less upfront

These savings can become much larger when you need hundreds of chairs and dozens of tables. Note that this table only compares rental prices with purchase prices so you still need to add delivery and any service charges.

Host more with Areeka Event Rentals

With Areeka Event Rentals, you can easily rent furniture for any type of event.  We can also deliver and set up your furniture rental at the venue, so you have one less job to handle on event day.

The Ultimate Wedding Checklist: Choosing the Right Event Rental Furniture for Any Venue

 

Have you found the perfect wedding venue, except that it doesn’t have everything you need to create your dream setup? That’s okay, because you can always choose event rental furniture to personalise the space and ensure that your guests are comfortable.

At Areeka Event Rentals, you can rent everything from tables and chairs to tents and decorative pieces. You don’t have to look elsewhere to design your entire venue! But with so many choices, where should you start? Here are some of the main event rental furniture pieces to consider for any venue.

Dining tables

Your venue layout and guest count will help you decide which tables make the most sense. With round tables, you can create smaller groups where conversation flows easily. Long tables allow you to create a more structured look along with square tables. You can even mix shapes if your venue has enough space for it.  Be sure to check the dimensions of the reception space and how many guests each table can comfortably seat. This ensures that you can still provide enough room between tables for guests and staff to move around easily.

Chairs

Designing a sleek and contemporary wedding? Ghost chairs can perfectly match that aesthetic. Meanwhile, Chiavari chairs can give your venue a more classic and formal look and feel.

Bars

Don’t forget about the bar, either. If your venue doesn’t already have one, you can simply add it to your event rental furniture list. At Areeka Event Rentals, you can choose from different sizes and designs, so it’s easier to find something that actually fits the look of your wedding.

And while you’re planning the bar area, take the time to include a few cocktail tables and chairs, too. This will give your guests somewhere to put their drinks and catch up before your reception starts.

Plan for an outdoor venue

Getting married outdoors? Then a tent is one thing you definitely don’t want to forget, especially when your venue doesn’t have a covered area. Add one to your event rental furniture checklist so you have somewhere to keep everyone comfortable if the sun gets too strong or the weather suddenly changes.

Plus, a tent does more than give you some cover. It can help turn an open outdoor space into a proper reception area, with a clear place for guests to eat, dance, mingle, and relax.

Think about your smaller outdoor lounge areas as well. Umbrellas can provide extra shade over seating areas where guests may want to spend time away from the main reception.

Authentic Hospitality: How to Master Table Chair Hire for UAE Cultural Events

 

Your tables and chairs are actually among the elements that can influence the atmosphere at your cultural event, from how people interact to how comfortable they feel staying for a long meal or conversation. So what should you look for when arranging table chair hire in the UAE? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Look for Majlis furniture

Majlis is one of the most important elements in a traditional gathering in the UAE because they bring people together in a welcoming setting where they can sit and talk, as well as eat and spend time with one another. That’s why it’s a natural choice for all weddings as well as Ramadan iftars and other cultural occasions. Even if you’re hosting an event in a contemporary space, Majlis tables and chairs bring the values of Arabic hospitality and togetherness to it.

When arranging table chair hire in the UAE, look for a rental company that understands those traditions instead of simply providing furniture that looks the part. At Areeka Event Rentals, we offer traditional Majlis seating and tables that can help you bring elements of Arabian hospitality into a contemporary event without losing that cultural connection.

Prioritise hospitality and comfort

Cultural gatherings can last for many hours, so your guests need to be able to settle in for a meal and conversation. That’s why traditional Majlis arrangements often include plush floor seating along with supportive cushions and tables positioned so your guests can easily eat and interact.

Think about the experience from your guests’ perspective. Can they settle in comfortably? Does the furniture arrangement encourage everyone to stay and enjoy the occasion instead of making them eager to get up?

With the right Majlis table chair hire service, you can create a welcoming and comfortable seating arrangement that respects cultural traditions while still giving guests the comfort they expect from a well-planned event.

Bring cultural gatherings outdoors

Some of the most memorable cultural events in the UAE happen outdoors, particularly once the cooler months arrive. You need to turn that open area into a space that feels warm and organised, and of course, still appropriate for the occasion.

A Majlis tent can help you define the gathering area while providing guests with shade and privacy. From there, you can arrange Majlis seating and tables, and include decorative elements like carpets and lighting to create a more intimate atmosphere.

This can work particularly well for weddings and community celebrations where you need enough room for a large number of guests but still want the setting to reflect Arabian traditions.

Find the perfect pieces for your cultural event

Feel free to browse our selection of Arabic Majlis furniture right here at Areeka Event Rentals and make a custom shortlist to get a tailored quote. With our table and chair hire service, you also benefit from reliable and timely delivery and setup, plus takedown after the event.

The Rise of Temporary Luxury: Why Businesses Rent Furniture in Dubai for High-Impact Events

 

When you're planning a high-impact event like a product launch or a corporate gala, you have to make sure that every detail leaves a lasting impression. The furniture you choose plays a big part in how your guests experience the occasion, from the way it sets the mood and how it gives people an idea of what to expect the moment they walk in.

The good news is you don't have to spend a fortune buying luxury furniture you'll only use once. When you rent furniture in Dubai, you can create the elegant look you're after without worrying about the upfront cost of purchasing everything yourself.

Here at Areeka Event Rentals, you'll find a wide selection of stylish furniture to suit just about any event theme.

Let's take a look at the reasons why your business is better off renting furniture for its high-impact events.

Save valuable time

Planning an event can feel like you're juggling a hundred different things at once. The last thing you want is to worry about where the furniture is coming from and how it'll get to the venue, or who'll set everything up.

With furniture rental, you don’t have to worry about those details because the provider handles them for you. Logistics is already part of our service here at Areeka Event Rentals, so we’ll take care of everything from the delivery to the setup and take-down. This means you can spend time on what really matters, like welcoming your guests and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.

Save money

If you buy premium furniture for just one event, the costs can add up pretty quickly, especially for a large venue. That investment is better off going to other important things, like your marketing efforts and employee training.

Meanwhile, you can easily achieve a luxurious look without the hefty price tag when you rent furniture in Dubai. At Areeka Event Rentals, you’ll find stylish pieces you can mix and match to create a stylish, high-end atmosphere your guests will appreciate, all at a more affordable cost.

More choices to match the occasion

It helps to have some variety in event furniture, since no two events are exactly the same. What may have worked perfectly for a corporate conference won’t likely suit your exclusive product launch. When you rent furniture, you have more options in styles and colours and have the chance to customise the layouts to complement your theme and venue.

Create your next luxury event with confidence

Rent furniture in Dubai here at Areeka Event Rentals, and we’ll make sure that your high-impact events will look sophisticated and picture-perfect without you breaking the bank. To learn more, give us a call at +971 4 832 6646. You may also browse our online catalogue now to shortlist the furniture you want to rent, and we’ll give you a tailored quote.

The Corporate Event Trend Nobody Budgeted for Five Years Ago

One of the growing corporate trends you’ll find today is outdoor party furniture rental, and it’s easy to see why. By moving away from the usual cycle of buying furniture and then trying to shoehorn those same pieces into every event over and over (even if the theme is different), you gain more freedom to create memorable spaces without taking on the cost and responsibility of owning items that may not fit the next brief.

Why are more businesses renting instead of buying outdoor party furniture?

Buying furniture for occasional events doesn't always make financial sense, especially when you’re hosting those events outdoors. It ties up your budget in pieces that need storage and maintenance long after the event has ended.

With outdoor party furniture rental, you get a more practical alternative where you pay only for what you need and when you need it. This helps keep your event costs under control while avoiding large upfront expenses. It’s also a much more sustainable approach to furnishing and decorating your outdoor event. Renting gives you access to high-quality pieces every time, especially when you work with a trusted provider like Areeka Event Rentals. With our service, you can even reduce unnecessary waste and cut costs in your organisation.

Create a space that reflects your brand

Every corporate event has a different purpose, so your venue should reflect that.

With outdoor party furniture rental, you can easily change layouts and create comfortable networking areas or add branded touches throughout the venue. You can choose furniture that matches your corporate colours and event theme without committing to a permanent collection.

Here at Areeka Event Rentals, you'll find a wide selection of premium outdoor furniture that suits different event concepts. Our team can also arrange everything according to your preferred layout, then return after the event to dismantle and collect the furniture, so you don't have to manage the logistics yourself.

Create your next event with Areeka Event Rentals

If you're looking for affordable outdoor party furniture rental, Areeka Event Rentals offers premium furniture for corporate events of every size.

Browse our online catalogue to shortlist the pieces that suit your event, and we'll provide a personalised quotation. If you'd like to learn more about our services, give us a call at +971 4 832 6646.
