Looking for the best things to do in Dubai and Abu Dhabi this weekend? November 13 to 15 is packed with options, from free fitness sessions and family festivals to brunches, live comedy and late-night dining. Football fans can catch Roberto Carlos at Real Madrid World, while culture lovers have Down to Earth at Jameel Arts Centre and a Northeastern Chinese residency at Shang Palace. There’s also Switch Disco by the beach, a wildlife-and-wellness weekend at Dubai Safari Park, free outdoor workouts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and plenty of food-led plans if moving is not remotely on your agenda.
Box outdoors at Boxpark after dark
Dubai Fitness Challenge doesn’t have to mean jogging around the same neighbourhood loop for the hundredth time. Boxpark’s free After Hours programme offers Outdoor HIIT Boxing on Saturday evenings. On Sunday, things get considerably more neon with Glow-in-the-Dark Zumba and silent-disco-style headsets.
Price: Free; registration via the FITZE app
When: Sat, 6pm-7pm (HIIT Boxing); Sun, 7.30pm (Glow-in-the-Dark Zumba)
Where: Boxpark, Dubai
Celebrate Black Bunny’s first birthday
Black Bunny Dubai is turning one, which obviously calls for three days of hourly entertainment to celebrate. Between performances, you can enjoy go-karts, bowling, trampolines, and arcade games.
