Dubai’s cultural calendar never slows down, and especially not as we’re rolling into the New Year with full force.
From new dining concepts and wellness moments to film screenings and pop-ups across the city, there’s always something worth stepping out for.
GRAZIA keeps you in the loop of what to see, do and experience in Dubai this weekend.
Try Hoof’s New Menu
Calm and minimalistic, Hoof brings a sense of stillness and peace to your daily coffee ritual. Inspired by equestrian culture, this UAE-grown speciality coffee favourite recently unveiled a new culinary menu, think warming chicken harissa, flaky mushroom croissants and english muffins with the Hoof twist. Rooted in a farm-to-plate philosophy, each dish champions fresh and quality ingredients, making it the perfect accompaniment to your cup of coffee.
Watch The Voice of Hind Rajab
Like every month, Cinema Akil is presenting an array of exciting film screenings this January. Playing until January 8th, The Voice of Hind Rajab is a powerful contemporary documentary following Red Crescent volunteers as they respond to an emergency call in Gaza. Amid impossible conditions, they attempt to save a six-year old trapped inside a burning car. Urgent and deeply human, the film captures the devastating reality of the moment, inviting reflection and conversation long after the credits roll.
‘Travel’ to Japan at Kumo
Taken home in a beautifully restored 1980s Dubai bungalow, Kumo is located in the heart of Dubai on Al Wasl. Recently opened, Kumo has already cemented itself as a go-to Japanese dining destination in the city. A weekend favourite, it’s the perfect place to enjoy unhurried all-day dining, whether you’re going for your morning matcha at Café Kumo, heading for a post-beach lunch with your friends, or going for a little date night dinner. Insider tip: the sandos are reason enough to come back.
Flow yoga at the Meld concept
Start your weekend with movement and intention at the Meld Concept this Friday, January 9, at 9 in the morning. In partnership with Lululemon, the Meld Concept, a beautifully reimaged villa in Jumeirah, is hosting a mindful Flow Yoga session. This 50-minute class is beginner-friendly and designed to cultivate mindfulness, flexibility and balance while enjoying the villa’s curated oasis. Consider it a present-moment pause and the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
Embrace Veganuary and Dry January at Mina Brasserie
Participating in Dry January or Veganuary this year? MINA Brasserie makes it anything but dull with its new ‘Balance by Four Seasons’ menu. A refined take on mindful dining, where lighter, nutrient-dense dishes don’t compromise on flavour. Paired it with their new lineup of elevated zero-proof drinks, and you’ve got the perfect weekend dining experience that works with, and not against, your 2026 health resolutions.
Relax at The Spa at Address Dubai Mall
If your New Year’s resolutions for 2026 sound anything like ours at GRAZIA, then self-care is at the top of the list.
