It’s that time of the year in Dubai when temperatures hit new highs and indoor activities are the only way to go.

With the infamous heat making a reappearance and a packed daily schedule, it can be hard to find the right social outings to fill your calendar. Luckily, that’s one thing you can check off your to-do list, because GRAZIA has you covered for the weekend. From Kayali’s new cafe in Dubai Mall to wellness yoga at ARTE Museum and more, we bring you the best of what’s going on across the city this weekend.

Sometimes, the best way to elevate your yoga routine is an environment full of photo-ops – and this experience does just that. Enjoy a relaxing environment overflowing with art, movement and tranquillity.

When art intertwines with exquisite cuisine, you know it can’t be missed. La Petite Maison is known to many as a beloved spot in Dubai for its Art Deco interiors and high-quality French cuisine. Now, the restaurant is collaborating with Lebanese artist Ihab Ahmad until the end of June. The collaboration features a unique art installation of carefully picked works of art to match the ambience.

cool off from the week with a LATE-NIGHT swim

Let’s be honest – while we may associate summer with beach days, they aren’t the most ideal in the infamous Dubai heat. Luckily, one of Dubai’s best beach clubs, Drift Dubai, offers the opportunity for a relaxing night swim. With live DJ beats and delicious food and drinks for the fully redeemable price of Dhs250. Celebrate the end of the work week in an environment packed with fun vibes. The perfect pairing of an exciting night out and a quick cool down at the pool.
