Best Weekend Activities to Enjoy in Dubai During Weekends

We strive through the entire week only to enjoy ourselves during the weekend. There aren't enough days on weekends. No one likes to stay at home and sulk. A well-spent weekend motivates us to work better and excel in the coming week.

One of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates is Dubai. The city has not always been as dazzling with futuristic technology and luxurious possibilities as it is now. There are many tourist destinations, attractions, and heritage sites in Dubai. From Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah to Atlantis Waterpark, Burj Al Arab and Ice Rink, there is much more Dubai offers than just opulent retail malls and five-star resorts. Some of the things to do in Dubai this weekend are listed in this article.

What are the best things to do in Dubai?

Start your Saturday morning at Palms and Cream

Shoreline Apartments Peaches & Cream's Miami-themed beach club is offering a fantastic deal that can be one of the cool things to do in Dubai. Enjoy an hour of water sports such as stand-up paddling, diving or kayaking for 100 AED per person, followed by a hearty breakfast. You can choose from a wide range of options like truffle toast, scrambled or poached eggs, a creamy mushroom toast, an acai bowl and a pitaya smoothie bowl, as well as tea or cold brew and water.

Get in Line for a Fulfilling Saturday brunch at Anantara Downtown

What are weekends without enjoying brunch? The newly launched Saturday brunch at Anantara Downtown Dubai Hotel is centred on street food and graffiti.

You may go to Aura Sky Pool between 6 and 9 in the morning for a swim and breakfast in the clouds, which is a pleasant way to spend your Sunday.
