If you’ve heard whispers that Dubai is building a second, even bigger airport, you’ve heard right, and it already exists. Al Maktoum International Airport, commonly referred to by its IATA code DWC (short for Dubai World Central, the wider logistics district it sits within), is the emirate’s long-term bet on becoming the world’s busiest aviation…

Catch Russell Peters at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on 25 October. Get all the details on pricing, timings, and why this comedy legend is a UAE favourite.

Yas Mall is the biggest shopping centre in Abu Dhabi and, by extension, one of the biggest dining rooms in the capital. It sits a short walk from Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Etihad Arena, which means the crowd wandering through its food court on any given afternoon is…

Mall of the Emirates has always had two personalities: the ski slope everyone photographs, and the dining scene that quietly does the harder work of getting you fed before or after. Between the Kempinski wing, the Sheraton wing, the Level 2 restaurant strip and the ground floor food court, there are now more places to…

This article used to promise “40 Best Places to Eat, Ranked by Google Reviews,” complete with star ratings down to a decimal point and review counts running into the thousands. Having gone back through the actual current tenant list…

Festival City Mall does not get talked about with the same breathless energy as Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates, and that is precisely why its food scene is worth a proper look. It has a genuine waterfront, a nightly light and water show called IMAGINE, and a food hall that is, on paper…

Ask anyone who has spent a 3am taxi ride craving mixed grill and hummus where to go, and Aroos Damascus will come up before the driver has even pulled off. It is one of Dubai’s longest-running Syrian restaurants, the kind of place where the queue at midnight is as long as the one at lunch,…

Quranic Park doesn’t look like much from the entrance, pleasant landscaping, a couple of themed gardens. Then you reach the Cave of Miracles and the Glass House, and it becomes clear this is one of Dubai’s more genuinely thoughtful public parks, built around a concept you won’t find anywhere else in the city. What Is…
