Things to do in UAE this weekend: From Labubu superfans to new summer brunches
Looking for a break from the routine? Whether you're craving a new thrill, a cool escape from the heat, or just something fun to shake up your weekend plans, here are the top things to do in the UAE right now:
Labubu is here
Get ready, Dubai! Loco Bear is teaming up with global sensation Labubu for an epic, first-of-its-kind Adventure Quest this Saturday, July 26 at their Al Quoz 2 space. From ninja runs to glow-in-the-dark laser tag, this immersive, multi-zone challenge blends physical play with collectible culture — and some seriously cool prizes.
Whether you're a young adventure-seeker or Labubu superfan, this one's got all the makings of your most unforgettable Saturday yet. From 4pm to 7pm, limited spots available.
Tuscany in Dubai
Perfect for a summer brunch — think flowing linens, sun-dazed interiors, and that dolce far niente vibe — Il Borro Tuscan Bistro is a destination that seldom disappoints. Set within the elegant Jumeirah Al Naseem, this rustic-chic gem is filled with authentic Italian fare that transports you to the dreamy streets of Tuscany in no time.
From heirloom recipes to ingredients flown in from the Ferragamo family estate, it's a slice of Italy right here in Dubai. Book ahead, as weekends tend to fill up fast: 04 275 2555.
Pickl does breakfast now
Smash burger king Pickl is now making our mornings better with its first-ever breakfast menu, available daily from 5am to 11am at its 24-hour locations in City Walk, JLT, and Motor City.
Whether you're chasing a post-party bite or fuelling up before sunrise, Pickl's new breakfast may just hit the spot. Bonus: City Walk is serving up Southpour Coffee too. Available for dine-in, delivery, or a grab-and-go fix.
New weekend brunch
There's something about long, lazy Saturdays and good food that just works — and Farmers Commons at Hotel Local in Jumeirah Village Triangle has given us what we wanted. Their Farmers Market Brunch, held every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm, is all about fresh, feel-good flavours in a laid-back setting.
Packages starting at Dh149; kids under 6 eat free, and there's 50 per cent off for 6–12-year-olds, making it a hit for families too.
Adventure city
Feeling adventurous this week? Then, skip the usual and 'dive' into something unforgettable. Head over to Deep Dive Dubai, home to the world's deepest pool and the UAE's most surreal scuba experience. And whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned diver, no license is needed.
Guided by expert instructors in a cinematic, underwater world, you'll be gliding past submerged streets, floating cars, and hidden rooms you won't believe are real. Where: Nad Al Sheba, Meydan, Dubai.
