The best local and international design talent meet, with the return of Dubai Design Week.
The region’s largest creative festival, Dubai Design Week has more than 230 events and activities taking place across several venues in the city over six days including one jam-packed weekend. At the heart of it all is Downtown Design; a trade fair situated in Dubai Design District (d3) and the activities spill out from this epicentre with exhibitions, installations, workshops, talks and performances all across the district. Visitors will walk through one of the custom-built gateways to enter the spirit of the festival and be able to guide themselves around with the newly launched app that has an interactive map and AR (augmented reality) navigation. With so many things to choose from and a dizzying array of information, here is our guide to helping you make the best out of the festival.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. 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. You’ve never had it so cool.
