Parenting is hard… especially for new parents who don't know what to expect when the little one comes around. If you want advice or want to save some money on the (seemingly never-ending) baby items you need, head to the Baby Expo. It returns to Dubai for its second edition this weekend on Friday, May 16 and 17, 2025.
This year, the Baby Expo is presented by Blaura, and families and expectant parents can explore a wide range of products from more than 250 world-renowned brands, resources, activities, and over 100 expert speakers. The expo takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
Ticket prices start from Dhs70, which is the general pass for one day; however, if you want to attend both days, it's Dhs130. A general admission pass for one day plus a goody bag is Dhs230, and for both days, Dhs290.
You can view other ticket prices and make your purchase here. What to expect?
The Baby Expo will bring together brands from the baby, toddler, and maternity sectors all under one roof. Expect to see some of the world's most trusted brands and services, including Blaura, Stokke, Cybex, Baby Brezza, Nanit, Tommee Tippee, Doona, Lansinoh and Maxi Cosi.
This also means that parents will be able to compare products and specifications across brands and decide what's best for their babies and little ones. And yes, the items will be discounted specially for the Expo.
Want to relax your feet? There will be dedicated mum and baby chill-out zones, plus entertainment for all the family. Mums will also be able to relax at the dedicated Mother & Baby Relaxation Lounge where they can enjoy some much-needed me-time.
You will even get some much-needed tips and insights from leading industry experts addressing every stage of early childhood development, from newborn care and sleep routines to feeding options, pregnancy and post-partum wellness and positive parenting techniques.
Some of the names on the panel include Dubai's go-to sleep consultant from Nurture 2 Sleep – Julie Mallon, the UK's leading potty training expert and founder of My Carry Potty – Amanda Jenner, and more. You can also expect a host of celebrity interviews presented by Kris Fade.
Take note fam, Blaura Wellness Centre isn't just sponsoring the expo, but it will be opening a family wellness centre in the summer of 2025. So stay tuned. Blaura Wellness Centre is a state-of-the-art holistic wellness sanctuary for women, children, and families that blends world-class expertise with a nurturing, luxurious environment.

The best places to sip Prosecco in Abu Dhabi this Prosecco Day

There's something about Prosecco that feels like sunshine in a glass. It's light, a little cheeky, and dangerously easy to drink. Today, August 13, the world toasts to Italy's favourite fizz, and while Abu Dhabi might not have rolling vineyards, it knows how to pop a cork in style. From rooftop bars with a view to cosy lounges with mood lighting and a flute in hand, here's where to get your sparkle on. And if bubbles without the buzz are more your thing, don't worry. We've found spots where you can raise a glass of alcohol-free Prosecco or a sparkling mocktail that's just as celebratory. Because sometimes it's not about the kick, it's about the clink. Ray's Bar – Jumeirah at Etihad Towers Perched 62 floors above the Corniche, Ray's Bar is one of Abu Dhabi's most iconic spots for high-altitude drinking. The floor-to-ceiling windows wrap you in glittering Gulf views, and the mood lighting makes it feel like you've stepped into a James Bond movie. Their Prosecco is best enjoyed at sunset, when the sky melts into pinks and golds over the water.

3 of the best dishes to try in Dubai this week: July 8 to 10

From a hearty meal to a refreshing salad, cheesy toast with a twist, and a must-try pizza, these are the three standout dishes to eat in Dubai this week. Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia Cheese Chilli Toast Think cheese on toast, but make it bold. This snackable spin on the 1970s Bombay classic takes everything you love – creamy whipped cheese, crunchy sourdough chips, a spicy fermented chilli oil, and little pops of sweet capsicum and serves it up in the ultimate chip-and-dip style. It's gooey, punchy, and seriously moreish. One bite and you'll see why this one's a table favourite and always a reorder. Location: Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia, Jumeirah Al Qasr Times: Daily 12pm-3pm and 7pm to 11:30pm Cost: Dhs75 Contact: 055 168 0802 Atrangi by Ritu Dalmia menu Alaya Shish Chicken A chef's signature for good reason, Abaya's Shish Chicken is flame-grilled indulgence at its finest. Expect tender, juicy chunks of marinated chicken breast and thigh, skewered and seared to perfection. It's served with big, bold cuts of veg — think long sweet pepper, blistered whole tomatoes, and roasted broccoli — all kissed by the grill. A smoky, satisfying dish that's as beautiful as it is bold. Location: Alaya, DIFC, Gate Village 4 Times: Sun to Wed 12:30pm to 12am, Thurs to Sat 12:30pm to 11:20pm Cost: Dhs230 Contact: 04 570 6289 Alaya menu Dhow & Anchor Sunday Roast There's nothing quite like a classic roast to hit the spot and this one brings all the comfort. Dhow & Anchor's Roast of the Day is a hearty, homemade-style meal served with swede mash, crispy roast potatoes, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, rich beef gravy, seasonal veg, and a creamy cauliflower cheese that steals the show. It's the kind of plate that feels like a hug from home. Location: Dhow & Anchor, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai Times: Sundays from 12pm Cost: Dhs125 Contact: 04 406 8999 Dhow & Anchor menu Image: Instagram > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
