What makes OFFSET different from other events or places you usually hang out at in Dubai? 

“This is the only place where I can just hang with my friends, dance, and not feel like I have to spend money to belong,” said Leena, a 17-year-old street dancer from Deira. “No one cares if you’ve got a car or not—if you’re into the culture, you’re part of it. Cause you know For many young people in Dubai, especially students without an income or are hear on a studnet visa without family , finding a place to just  decompress and exist—without the pressure to buy something or fit into a certain crowd—can be tough. Malls and cafes often come with a price tag, and social spaces can feel exclusive or out of reach. But at OFFSET 2025, the vibe was exhilaratingly  different.

OFFSET 2025 wasn't just some hub of horsepower, and high-end builds—it gave young people a rare space to  get out of the house, breathe, belong, and be inspired. In a city known for its luxury, this grassroots event stood out by being real, inclusive, and creatively alive. Whether you came to admire the cars, dance with your crew, or just soak up the energy, OFFSET was treatment  that Dubai’s car culture isn’t just for the elite—it’s for everyone with passion. And for the city’s next generation, that means everything.
