Another weekend, another reason to step out.
From new openings and food festivals to fitness fixes, live events and easy culture moments, Dubai’s weekend line-up is as full as ever.
Here is GRAZIA’s edit of what to see, do and savour in the city this weekend.
An IYKYK beauty residency
London’s cult-favourite Salon C. Stellar returns to Dubai this February with an exclusive residency that beauty insiders will want to book fast. Following last year’s sell-out debut, the results-driven skin clinic lands at PAUS Club from this Sunday until February 15, with two of its most coveted treatments, including the glow-inducing “Best Facial” and its bespoke SkinPen microneedling. Founded by Andrea Pfeffer, the Soho hotspot blends advanced clinical techniques with holistic, sensory rituals — think soundscapes, art installations and deeply restorative touches. Expect medical-grade results with a spa-like calm. Appointments are strictly limited, so consider this your sign to secure a slot before they disappear.
Celebrate International Pisco Sour Day at SUSHISAMBA
To mark International Pisco Sour Day, SUSHISAMBA is rolling out a limited-edition Pisco Sour menu across its locations worldwide. Running from February 2 to 8, 2026, the weekend-long edit draws inspiration from the brand’s outposts in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Milan and Singapore. Expect four cocktails, each for Dhs65, including Dubai’s date and saffron-infused Inti Dorado.
Watch Wicked Live at the Dubai Opera
Calling all theatre kids. You can book into Wicked as it continues its run at Dubai Opera. With only two weekends left on stage, now’s the time to catch the award-winning musical live, complete with powerhouse performances and that iconic soundtrack everyone knows by heart.
Indulge at Avli by Tashas
Avli by tashas is one of those DIFC restaurants we never get tired of, especially when the weekend rolls around. The watermelon feta salad, zucchini keftedes and the moussaka alone are reason enough to book a table, while the easy, unfussy atmosphere makes it ideal for long lunches, relaxed dinners and nights that stretch longer than planned.
Run (or Support) the Iconic Burj2Burj Half Marathon
Lace up for the annual Burj2Burj Run, a city-favourite race that takes runners on a scenic 21km route from Burj Al Arab to Burj Khalifa. Equal parts fitness challenge and sightseeing tour, the run brings together seasoned athletes and casual runners alike. Whether you’re running the course or cheering from the sidelines, it’s one of the most energising ways to experience Dubai this weekend.
Taste of Dubai is back
For anyone who plans their weekend around food, Taste of Dubai is back at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre. The much-loved festival brings together chef-led bites, pop-up restaurant kitchens and live cooking demos, all designed for grazing your way through the city’s dining scene. Best enjoyed with friends, a big appetite and absolutely no rush.
Dine at the new Roberto’s
Roberto’s has officially reopened in DIFC with a fully reimagined space and a sharpened Italian menu. Think brighter interiors, a new cocktail-focused Scala Bar Lounge, and ingredient-led dishes spanning crudo, dry-aged fish and house-made pastas, all designed for sharing and lingering over. A familiar favourite, refreshed for how Dubai dines now and the perfect spot to dine this weekend.
Sweat it out at Matcha Club’s Heated Workouts
If you’re looking to reset, Matcha Club’s heated workouts are a great idea. Running everyday, including weekends, the studio offers everything from yoga to sculpt and slower stretch sessions, with yin yoga firmly topping our list. Powered by infrared heaters that warm the body from the inside out, expect a deep sweat that’s both grounding and effective. The perfect way to reset your body and mind before the next week rolls around.
Breakfast at Apollo on the Palm
When Apollo opened on Palm Jumeirah last summer, it quickly climbed to the top of our weekend spots list. With the more recent addition of a breakfast menu, it’s now firmly on repeat. Tucked away in Palm Views with dockside views and an easy, laid-back energy, it’s a certified cool-girl spot that also happens to be undeniably delicious.
