Friday's show was the group's first appearance in the UAE since winning 'America's Got Talent' last month.
Mayyas took home the 'America's Got Talent' crown and a $1 million prize.
The Dubai show also marked the first time Myyas had performed together in the Middle East, outside of their home city of Beirut, since their 'America's Got Talent' triumph.
Mayyas performed as part of the Recognising Emerging Local Musicians Relm Fest event at The Pointe.
A large crowd gathered to watch Mayyas appear at the three-day festival celebrating regional talent.
The group co-ordinated in black bedlah-style attire.
Relm Fest aims to help emerging musicians in the Middle East take their careers to the next level.
Mayyas performed twice at The Pointe.
Mayyas were set up by Nadim Cherfan.
The troupe was awarded the Lebanese Order of Merit for their US victory.
