Back in the day, you’d pull into a grassy lawn, park your ‘57 Chevy Bel Air convertible, and, if you were lucky enough to have an in-car radio at the time, hurry to dial into the movie audio’s radiofrequency. But these days, the experience has been ratcheted up a notch. Drive-in movie theatres – especially in the UAE – have high-quality sound and film equipment, electric car charging stations, and gourmet food on offer.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER

Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly.
