Dubai\u2019s cultural calendar never slows down, and especially not as we’re rolling into the New Year with full force.<\/p>\n

From new dining concepts and wellness moments to film screenings and pop-ups across the city, there\u2019s always something worth stepping out for.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA keeps you in the loop of what to see, do and experience in Dubai this weekend.<\/p>\n

Calm and minimalistic, Hoof brings a sense of stillness and peace to your daily coffee ritual. Inspired by equestrian culture, this\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Watch The Voice of Hind Rajab<\/span><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 Caf\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n
