Now looking forward to an exciting new month with exciting new experiences…and as always, Dubai’s got you covered<\/h2>\n

Here are the Top 9 Dubai Weekend experiences that you’ll absolutely want to mark down on your calendars.<\/p>\n

9. Dubai rolls out citywide Hag Al Leila celebrations<\/h2>\n

Dubai is marking Hag Al Leila with a citywide calendar of events, officially kicking off the Season of Wulfa – a cultural initiative centred on community, heritage, and shared values.<\/p>\n

This season is all about celebrating belonging, kinship, and generosity through meaningful, family-friendly experiences across the emirate. Hag Al Leila opens the season, which will continue through Ramadan in Dubai and culminate with Eid. Throughout this period, neighbourhood celebrations, cultural experiences, and public activations will bring traditions to life in ways that feel both familiar and contemporary.<\/p>\n

Expect Dubai to be dressed for the occasion, with themed lighting, flags, and decorative installations across major roads, bridges, gateways, and public spaces – from DXB terminals to Jumeirah Road and beyond.<\/p>\n

Families can also look forward to a mix of cultural activities, interactive experiences for children, sweet giveaways, performances, and storytelling moments hosted at landmarks, parks, malls, museums, and community spaces. Rather than focusing on one location, Hag Al Leila this year is about shared moments across Dubai – so do look out for these citywide celebrations!<\/p>\n

\nWhen:<\/strong> Key dates from 30 Jan onwards – Until Feb 14th
\nWhere:<\/strong> Citywide across Dubai, including cultural districts, malls, landmarks, and public spaces<\/p>\n
