<span data-mce-type=”bookmark” style=”display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;” class=”mce_SELRES_start”></span>
The temperatures are rising now we are into Dubai summer which means we’re seeking out all of the brilliant indoor activities that Dubai has to offer. Ever played mini golf in the dark? You can at 3D Blacklight Minigolf. The concept is fascinating, and in each room you’ll journey into different worlds, created in neon 3D artwork, which is breathtaking and took two artists eight months to hand-paint. Go deep under the sea, then onto to the lands of Arabia then up and up, into space.

Enjoy breakfast with a view
We always feel at peace when dining looking out onto the rolling greens of a golf course. Stunning French restaurant Carine offers just that, plus a great weekend breakfast. Expect typical French flair in dishes such as scrambled eggs with black truffle, and the elegant strawberry tartine with homemade peach jam. Currently, Carine’s summer tent is up so you can enjoy alfresco dining without melting under the sun’s glare.
