12 exciting things to do in UAE this weekend

How to make the most of your Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Khaleej Times recommends...

Wedding belles

The Hilton Abu Dhabi has unveiled its inaugural wedding fair - Al Jouri, which is a showcase for future brides and grooms where some of the finest names in the wedding industry will display their products and services. The first edition of the Al Jouri Wedding Fair will be held on July 21 and 22 at the Al Qasr ballroom.

Dilbagh Sings

He's one of the best performers out there and he's in Dubai on Friday night. Zee A Nights is taking place at Armani Prive at the Armani Hotel - Burj Khalifa with Dilbagh Singh's Live performance alongside a massive line up of DJs.
Ladies & couples enter free all night from 10pm. Do not miss out!

Free stuff for you

McDonald's is going retro crazy today from 8am to celebrate McDelivery Day. They're giving away '90s inspired gifts with every McDelivery until midnight tonight including funky Big Mac socks, a super fly Fry bandana, T-shirts and even a denim jacket. Just order food on the app and wait for the prize.

Beat the heat

Breeze through a hot summer's day in a cooled cabana, sipping on unlimited signature mocktails, followed by a refreshing cold seafood platter including a starter and a fruity dessert from Scape Restaurant and Lounge at the Burj Al Arab from 8am onwards. The way the weather is, this sounds like bliss.

Fun outlet

Take advantage of the additional discounts at The Outlet Village as it transforms into a plaza market this weekend. Global brands will have great discounts and shops will also extend shopping hours on Friday until 2am and host a series of entertainment shows, including a visit from Modhesh and performances by the Comedy String Quartet - all the way from the UK.

Cirque De Mercato

Mercato Mall is hosting a circus show. Now that has to be worth a visit! The show combines multiple acts such as Bola Bola, Adagio Duo, the Bubble Act and the Unicycle Jugglers Family. Now we've seen a unicycle family and a juggler family, but never one that can do both. The show will take place regularly until August 4 (except Sundays) at 4:15pm, 6pm and 8pm.

Ice is very nice

What better way to enjoy a movie than with ice cream? To celebrate Ice Cream Day on July 19, Novo Cinemas will be treating those who spend Dhs50 or more to a free Hagen-Dazs ice cream. But it doesn't stop there, with the temperatures rising across the region, the chain has decided to extend the offer throughout July for a whole month of ice cream fun!

Staying in?

Then you have to, have to, have to watch Netflix's La Casa De Papel (Money Heist). If you don't have a subscription, beg or borrow one because this captivating series will have you glued to your screen from minute one. Set in Madrid, the heist story has more twists and roundabouts than a drive through Al Ain. It's astounding.
