This week FLEW.

And the one sure-fire way to help you get through what’s left of the workweek is starting to plan your weekend, AMIRITE?!

‘Cos Dubai is a city where being bored is simply not an option and despite the heat, that’s slowly but surely creeping up into the mid-40s (eek!), here are SIX things you can do in Dubai this weekend to make the most of it.

Rolling towards the weekend like

6. Queen’s House salon is the go-to for a weekend treat

This private ladies-only salon located in Wafi is pretty luxe and whether you’re looking for the perfect blow-dry, a mani-pedi, or a make-up look, Queen’s House Salon is your-one-stop-shop.

But that’s not all friends! This spot is INCREDIBLE for Moroccan Baths, it specialises in them actually, and the therapists themselves are highly experienced. Prepare to feel fully-exfoliated with leave with bright, luminous skin.

They have multiple summer promos, including 30% off your first Moroccan Bath (only 195aed!). ALSO, the price of the loofa is included within their package, unlike in other salons where you have to pay extra just for that small scrubbie.

4. Take a breather at free yoga at Umm Suqeim Park on Wednesday

Not just a one-time thing, this free yoga happens every Wednesday at the Kite Beach adjacent park. According to the announcement, ‘Yin Yoga is unique in that you are asked to relax in the posture, soften the muscle and move closer to the bone.’ Sounds zen!

Join the Yin Yoga class every Wednesday at 7.30pm, Umm Suqeim Park
