Summer is in full effect here in the Middle East and in case you were wondering how to spend your days when being outside isn’t overly inviting, we’ve got you covered.
This weekend, why not immerse yourself in one of the summer’s most highly anticipated films or find your zen with a free yoga session at one of the city’s most renowned hotels. You can also explore all that the city has to offer in terms of fashion with Dubai Summer Surprises and spend a day getting pampered at the Grosvenor House…
Watch Ocean’s 8
After months and months of teasing, the Ocean’s 8 film has finally landed in theatres across the Middle East. Considered to be one of the hottest blockbusters to watch this summer, get your popcorn ready and watch an all-female cast (which includes Rihanna, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Awkwafina and Mindy Kaling) plan a heist.
Ocean’s 8 is available in all theatres across Dubai.
Find your zen
Even though World Yoga Day was on June 21, Fitness First is still celebrating and offering any fitness lover the chance to attend a free sunset yoga session on the iconic Palm Jumeirah. In partnership with The Rixos hotel, the session will not only focus on physical well-being but will target mental wellness, too. Don’t forget your mats!

Also, make sure you take advantage of the spa facilities throughout the day including the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and outdoor pool.
