A huge, three-floor game and entertainment hub is coming to JBR
The list of indoor activities in Dubai is extensive and it looks like it's about to get even better. There's a huge entertainment hub coming to JBR, specifically at Rixos Premium Dubai, and it's going to be Sunset Hospitality Group's main venture into the entertainment area. Kapitol is due to open in September 2025, and will be a fun game-led venue. Kapitol will be over three floors and more than 30,000 sq ft and the decor will be inspired by the Art Deco period and vintage movie theatres, how cute…
From the second you walk in, the entertainment and fun starts. Visitors will enter through a majestic front facade to the reception area to find a 360 camera photobooth to capture the memories from the start. 3 of 12
On the ground floor, you'll find a mix of games and experiences, from baseball cages, axe throwing (not real ones, we hope), and electric shuffle, to darts, F1 racing simulators, and arcade games. There will be a buzzing bars on each floor, with food and beverages options surrounding the gaming zones so you won't have to venture too far for a bite to eat. There is even a stage in the middle for live DJs and bands for when the opportunity arises.
The second floor will be home to an upscale and interactive 14 holes mini-golf course, so you'd better get practicing your putting. The third floor includes ten bowling lanes with 2 VIP lanes. For those looking to unleash their inner singer, there will be three themed karaoke rooms in the venue in collaboration with 'The Voice'. Pass us the mic…You'll also be rent out some areas for private events and celebrations.
The indoor activities in Dubai are growing each year, and while the weather heats up, you won't be left sweating trying to keep the kids occupied.

Abu Dhabi Showdown Week welcomes Power Slap 16
Abu Dhabi's sports calendar is packed with big events, from F1 to UFC, and Power Slap is back after its international debut in the city last year. The concept is as simple as it sounds: two people, face to face, trading open-handed slaps until one can't continue. It's intense, it's real, and it's quickly building a devoted following in the UAE capital. $VET Power Slap 16: Wolverine vs. Klingbeil presented by Monster Energy, is Power Slap's sixteenth live event. It returns to the Space42 Arena on Friday, October 24, as part of Abu Dhabi Showdown Week alongside UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane. Fans around the world can catch the action live and free on Power Slap's YouTube channel. Inside the arena: slaps, strategy, and spectacle Headlining the night is light heavyweight champion Wolverine, a slap fighting legend defending his title for the second time against Alan 'The Kryptonian' Klingbeil, who is gunning for a spectacular upset. The co-main event promises just as much drama, with super heavyweight contender Dumpling back in the ring after losing his title and undefeated Makini 'Big Mak' Manu aiming to test Dumpling's legendary chin. Power Slap started as a viral sensation, with clips of thunderous slaps spreading across social media. UFC President Dana White recognised its potential and launched Power Slap: Road to the Title in 2023, turning it into a global sport. Abu Dhabi quickly became a natural home for the spectacle. The city's world-class arenas, love for combat sports, and growing international profile made it the perfect stage. Power Slap 9 in October 2024 proved the hype, drawing local fans and global influencers, racking up over 700 million views and cementing Abu Dhabi as a key stop on the slap fighting map. With its mix of raw spectacle, strategy, and pure adrenaline, Power Slap is carving out a niche in Abu Dhabi's sports scene. Whether you're in the arena or watching from your screen, expect a night of slaps that echo long after they land.

There's a new bar coming to Abu Dhabi on the iconic Yas Marina
Abu Dhabi, your nights out are about to get a chic French twist. Bar du Port, the glamorous Riviera-inspired brand that's already a hit in Dubai, Beirut, Doha, Byblos and Cairo, is finally making its way to the capital – and it's dropping anchor at Yas Marina before the end of the year. The new Bar du Port will take over the current Iris space, marking the end of an era for one of Abu Dhabi's most recognisable nightlife venues. But it's not goodbye – Iris has promised fresh plans on the horizon. For now, the waterfront spot is getting a full Bar du Port makeover, complete with laid-back Riviera flair, stylish interiors and an international crowd. What to expect Since its debut in Beirut nine years ago, Bar du Port has built a reputation for 'a little luxury, a lot of fun.' Think long lunches that flow seamlessly into lively evenings, Mediterranean-inspired menus and DJ-fuelled nights that keep the energy going until late. With Yas Marina already buzzing with entertainment and dining options, this addition feels like a natural fit – and a seriously stylish one at that. Set to launch in Q4 2025, Bar du Port is expected to open just in time for the busy race season. That means come F1 weekend, it could very well be one of the hottest tables – and dancefloors – in town. This is one we'll be watching closely. Chic, cosmopolitan and perfect for Abu Dhabi's evolving nightlife scene, Bar du Port looks set to become the city's new go-to for sundowners, dinner dates and late-night fun.
