My Kind of Weekend
And that means you've got to go all out to have some fun; to say goodbye to the year on a high note. Whether you want to check out an edutaining activity with the kids or just rock out to music with your pals, we've got you covered. Make this an epic goodbye.
Here are your options:
Ain Dubai
There are many ways to see the sunset (and the city) in Dubai. But the latest treat comes in the form of Ain Dubai, the giant Ferris Wheel that’s just reopened for visitors. The attraction had been closed for “enhancement works” since March 2022. Wondering if you’ll get a spot on the wheel? Well, don’t, with 48 cabins (and capacity of 1,750 people) at their disposal, you are sure to find that spot. The ride lasts 38 minutes. Now then, say it with us: up, up and away!
From Dh145. Daily, noon-9pm (Tues-Fri); 11am-9pm (weekends).
Go on a cycling adventure
Love to feel the wind in your hair as you navigate your path forward? Dubai Park and Resorts has just the thing – it’s newly opened 8.5km cycling track. You can bring a bike or a scooter here, or rent one on site (for Dh50. An e-scooter or bike rental will cost you Dh60). What’s more, if you rent the ride, you get a helmet too. There are more things to do in Motiongate too including visiting Real Madrid World Club and going on exciting rides.
