Living in Dubai comes at the cost of facing the constant hustle, whether it’s morning traffic, long working hours and constantly rushing over to your next meeting. So much so that we forget what really matters – elevating the mind, body and soul. Luckily, a weekend in Dubai comes with the chance to hit reset, alongside the perfect outing with a chic backdrop and your favourite girlfriends.
Here at GRAZIA, we’ve compiled the perfect guide of things to add to your to-do list this weekend. From a poolside retreat at The Lana to a soothing pottery class at Bait Elowal.
Get in touch with your creative side this weekend
While we always love spending our weekends in Dubai, sometimes escaping the hustle and bustle is needed. So, why not pay neighbouring emirate Sharjah a visit this weekend?
