Schedule Your Weekend Plans In Style With These 7 FUN Ideas

It’s Friday, Friday – gotta get down on Friday. Our new weekend may still feel odd as ever, but it’s here and it’s here to stay. 

The great thing about living in Dubai is that your to-do list is never to be empty, due to the range of plans one can take part in. Foodie hangout? No problem, Partying the night out? Oh yes, a desert campout? Double yes. 

So if you’ve not scheduled in some wicked plans for the weekend, your time is now to select from these many options

1. Dine at Salero Tapas for a fully-Spanish themed night

Who knew that inside Kempinski Hotel at the Mall of the Emirates is a fabulous tapas place that will transport you straight back to your travels. Dine the chicken paellas, batata bravos, sangria and churros while you listen to live music in a true-to-core bodega style eatery. 

This Spanish-themed resto has all the hots and it is ready for you!

4. A little staycay never hurt nobody – and definitely not at The Rixos Palm

Stay at The Rixos Palm in an all-inclusive weekend, complete with an all-day buffet dining concept at A LA Turca and Turqoise for delicious Turkish and international cuisine.

Otherwise, L’Olivo, an Italian restaurant is also available for foodies, along with Aqua & more for some Mediterranean goodies or Toro Loco for some juicy ribs. The kiddos can enjoy an exclusive venue at the Rixy Kids Club, complete with its own pool, slides, indoor cinema and a children’s amphitheatre. Talk about EVERYTHING in one place. A staycat at The Rixos Palm also means getting to indulge in its many exclusive sports club offers, such as: the water activities, aqua jumping, antigravity yoga, and stand-up paddle boarding.

In short, it’s the place to get away.

5.  Go on a road trip to Hatta or Jebel Jais – the weather calls for it!

The weather is perfect for outdoorsy activities and all UAE residents know that we must take advantage of however long we’ll have the cool breeze for. So if you’ve yet to have gone on a road trip, call up your friends or family members and choose a spot. 

Kayak in Hatta, or have a lush BBQ atop Jebel Jais, or how about a staycation at one of the resorts in Khor Fakkan? 

We have several lists here, to help you prep for your day or weekend trip.
