You’ve (nearly) made it to the weekend and it’s time to make some plans. As always, the GRAZIA team is here to help, keeping you in the know of what to do in Dubai this weekend.

Head To The South Of France (Sort Of)

Take a trip to the South of France this weekend, but just make it Dubai. Located on the edge of Dubai Creek, Twiggy has reopened its Côte d’Azur-inspired beach club after a few refreshes and it’s ready to welcome you back. Enjoy the close of summer unwinding at Twiggy’s 100-metre infinity pool, whilst you soak up the sun. Of course, while you’re there, indulge in items from the Mediterranean-inspired menu curated by Chef Fabio Luz.

Hit Up A Hotspot

It’s always nice to be nice, but when it comes to The Nice Guy, it’s so much more than just nice. The popular DIFC spot, which hails all the way from Tinsel Town, is the perfect place for after-work drinks on a Friday or for an intimate dinner spot on a Saturday. With an elusive and upscale ambience (there’s no photos allowed), sit back and enjoy the live music whilst indulging in the array of delicious dishes on the menu – our favourites include the rigatoni Bolognese, the eggplant parm and the crispy burrata.
