Most of us tend to be safe and remain indoors during the brutal summer months in the UAE. However, now with the waning of the heat and the temperatures becoming slightly milder, one is more willing to head out and experience the joys of outdoor settings. Many of the hotspots of Dubai and elsewhere in the UAE are starting to reopen their doors with milder climes setting in. Here are some options:
The popular Dubai beach resort was shut for the duration of July and August, but will be reopening its doors for the season on 31 August 2018. The city's premier beach front destination at One&Only Royal Mirage, is the place to head to when the sun goes down and you feel like upping the tempo.
Visitors can enjoy the beach club and the fine dining restaurant which features a twist on Provençal cuisine as well as an innovative cocktail menu curated by award-winning mixologist Eric Ballard. Monday and Tuesday are Ladies Days, when women get half off on their sun loungers and the club's signature cocktail on arrival. The DRIFT business lunch is on offer from Sunday to Thursday for a fixed price. Fridays and Saturdays feature the “come for lunch stay for the party” event from noon till 6 PM.
Described as an oasis in the heart of the city, this city hotspot offers great views of the iconic Dubai Canal. This is where the Far East meets the Middle East. It’s a place to enjoy eclectic fare such as the raw bar with tuna tartare, crispy prawns, short ribs, chicken satay and much more. The creative cocktail menu helps you unwind; whether it’s a long day at work, a special celebration or just the start of the weekend.
Tuesday nights feature live acts at the Seven Sisters while Wednesday is Ladies Night. On Thursdays and Fridays, resident DJs belt out the top of the chart tracks to groove to. You can also enjoy a relaxed brunch to recover the day after from the night before! It all starts this Thursday 30th August 2018.
