It’s pretty hard to get excited about things in Dubai sometimes, because of the sheer amount of choice when it comes to doing amazing stuff. Been in the world’s tallest building? Check. World’s biggest mall? Check. Eaten the world’s most expensive ice cream? Yeah, twice (eye roll).

Then something comes along that makes you think…well, hang on a minute there. 

Introducing: one of those things. How about tai chi on the beach with a Shaolin master from China? Sign us up RIGHT NOW! 

For one week only, you can head to The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, JBR at sunrise and throw some shapes with Master Wang Xinglong. He’s a 32nd generation disciple of the Shaolin temple, which makes him 100% badass. Along with Master Imz from Awake Conbal in London, the pair will take you through a series of strength exercises followed by flow tai chi…to really wake you up before your day begins.

Fancy something a little more spiritual to end the day, too? Then opt for the meditative yoga at sunset led by Awake Conbal founder Zsena Kali Raio Kay. We gave it ago (and despite being sceptics and total novices) we were guided into such a relaxed state that we visualised some pretty cool stuff…in fact, it was so amazing we’ve booked a second session!
