A CHALET ESCAPE WITH MONTBLANC
Dubai doesn’t do super cold winters, so this Alpine-style chalet does it for us. Hidden inside Kempinski Mall of the Emirates, the Eugène Eugène x Montblanc experience swaps the city’s usual pace for slow, indulgent comfort. Expect bubbling cheese and chocolate fondue, raclette scraped tableside, and warming onion soup that makes lingering mandatory. It’s cozy, indulgent, and just transportive enough to feel like a mini escape.
POST-WORKOUT FUEL BY THE SEA
Soil’s Kite Beach pop-up serves up healthy, no-fuss food in one of Dubai’s most active beach spots, making it an easy grab-and-go stop after a workout or swim. Expect protein-packed froyo, wholesome sandwiches, and quality coffee just steps from the running track and the sea, all in a relaxed, outdoor setting that fits seamlessly into a morning at Kite Beach.
A BEACH WORKOUT WITH ADIDAS
The adidas House of Fast has landed at Kite Beach, turning workouts into a social sport. With free training sessions, custom merch moments, and a pop-up coffee bar by Backyard, it’s as much about community as it is performance. Come to move, stay to refuel, and leave feeling like you actually did something productive with your weekend.
SERIOUS BURGER BUSINESS
The Dubai Burger Championship is back, and it’s bringing heavyweight names with it. From international cult favorites to local icons, this pop-up at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre is all about big flavors and friendly competition. Live cooking demos add to the energy, while a wallet-friendly entry makes it easy to sample more than one contender.
HORSEPOWER, DESIGN, AND PURE ADRENALINE
Middle East Car & Bike Week takes over Dubai Studio City with a full-throttle celebration of automotive culture. Spread across ten immersive arenas, the event showcases everything from luxury supercars to custom motorcycle builds, complete with live action and high-energy displays. Whether you’re an enthusiast or just appreciate beautiful machines, this is one weekend stop that delivers spectacle.
