As temperatures rise, many are looking to escape the city for the summer season \u2014 dreaming of cooling off by a lavish poolside in some far-flung country. But with the city constantly buzzing with activity, you don’t need a plane ticket to enjoy everything summer has to offer.<\/p>\n

When it comes to a summer weekend in Dubai, a beach day is hardly ideal. Instead, a cosy outing surrounded by your favourite girlfriends to unwind from the stress of the work week is the norm. Thankfully, the city is always brimming with things to do \u2014 and GRAZIA has everything you need to know to keep your weekend calendar fully booked. From a sunset brunch at Nikki Beach to Mediterranean moments at Jou Jou Brasserie, here’s our guide to a weekend in Dubai, from July 10 to July 12.<\/p>\n

Your pilates routine for the summer<\/h3>\n

Often, a busy day at work leaves you with hardly any energy, making it nearly impossible to fit in a good workout. And with temperatures rising, an evening run is hardly ideal either. Luckily, this summer, Real Pilates has an exclusive package for the season, so you can revamp your workout routine \u2014 with access to both mat and reformer classes for those looking to stay active during Dubai’s quiet summer months. It’s designed to support posture, circulation and mobility, particularly if you’re looking to escape the constant back aches that come from sitting at a desk all day.<\/p>\n
