Our ultimate roundup.
Keep yourself busy this hot weekend with our roundup of some of the coolest activities in Dubai.
Hop aboard
Start your weekend right with a trip to a spa aboard a royal cruiser. The QE2’s former salon has been lovingly restored and ready for your to indulge in a rejuvenating 60-minute massage for a special rate of Dhs199 per person.
Round the world in one brunch
Book a table at ANISE at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City and sample a global menu during their Friday brunch. From interactive stations to healthy options and a kids’ buffet, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Served 1-4pm, Dhs269 per person including soft beverages or Dhs395 per person including house beverages.
Sweat it out in style
Barry’s Bootcamp didn’t become a celeb favourite for no reason. Quickly establishing itself as a number one workout space with Dubai’s fitness crowd, the famed studio is now offering a weekly pass this summer for the discounted price of Dhs350 for four sessions to use in Dubai Marina and DIFC. Dare a back to back workout on Friday and Saturday?
Make a splash
SOL Sky Bar is located on the seventh floor of Zabeel House Al Seef offering Panoramic views of the city. Head there on Saturday for the Chase the Sun Party and enjoy four hours of free flowing drinks and choice of bar bites, pool access and towel, with a side of chilled beats from SOL’s resident DJ. Packages priced at Dhs150 for ladies and Dhs250 for the boys.
Dine out for less
Bohemian cafe Brambles, located in Citadines Metro Central Hotel in Barsha Heights, has just launched a new dinner menu that offers a main course, drink and a cookie for just Dhs49, served every day from 7-10pm. For your main meal you can choose from a variety of dishes including fennel sausage lasagne or vegetarian moussaka. Now this is what we call a guilt-free meal.
Cool it off
We don’t blame for missing a cooler climate during these summer months, so head to Anantara Spa at Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort to chill in their ice grotto. Make sure to take advantage of their expert team and book into one of the many treatments including a 60-minute Traditional Turkish Hammam which is on offer when booking online at anantara.com/en/palm-dubai.
For the carnivores
FireLake, the American inspired grill-house and cocktail bar in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Business Bay, has launched a new limited-edition menu inspired by the rustic flavours of the American deep south. Available till the end of the month, indulge in smoked beef neck with mash, gravy and bone marrow and don’t forget salted caramel ice-cream with burnt brittle powder for dessert.
Enjoy!
