Who’s ready for some extra time off?
The weekend is almost here and that means it’s time for your weekly dose of fabulous things to do. From pool brunches to bowling, here’s our top picks of the best things to do in Dubai this weekend….
Head for dinner in this opulent Arabic restaurant
We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to beautiful restaurants in the city, but if you haven’t yet visited Asil, you need to. The opulent restaurant can be found at the Rixos Premium Dubai JBR with an Arabic-inspired indoor venue and a terrace with amazing views of the sea and Ain Dubai. The food here is stunning (What’s On tried and tested), using flavours from Turkish, Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine. The menu now includes new savoury tagine, manti and the sweet notes of om Ali.

Tuck into Instagrammable desserts at this new pop-up
Every day between 7pm and 11pm, guests can come and relax over a decadent dessert at cool pop-up by Two at Symphony. Open daily in Alserkal Avenue, listen to the tunes of a live DJ, and soak up the good vibes. On the menu you’ll find five indulgent treats, all priced at Dhs39. There’s a drool-worthy sweet sando, an ice cream drizzled in espresso, ice cream cone topped with a range of treats and biscuit-infused custard with popping candy, to name a few.
