Oi, oi!

The weekend has rolled round once more and as Dubai gets hotter, the weekends seem to be filling up.

Prepare to dig in, there are LOTS of nice foodie offerings going on; here are TEN epic things to get you off the couch.

Leaving work on Thursday like…

1. Get a discount on your meal – depending on the temperature!

Finally, this is one sure reason to be glad for the temperature rise!

Rooftop JBR spot Pure Sky Lounge will get you a discount based on the current temperature when you ask for the bill.

So if the temperature reads 45degrees, you’ll get 45% off your bill. Summer goals!
