Mall brings joy to special children amid DSS
In line with the UAE's declaration of 2025 as the 'Year of Community,' Mercato Mall opened its heart and doors to a very special group of visitors. The group of students of people of determination from the Senses Day Care Center for Special Needs had attended the event and side activities for a joyful day filled with laughter, entertainment, and unforgettable moments. As part of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) festivities, the children were treated to one of the season's most delightful performances — the International Comedy Circus. Their faces lit up with wonder and excitement as they watched the talented performers bring the stage to life. For many, it was a rare moment of pure joy, and their heartfelt laughter echoed through the mall, touching the hearts of all who witnessed it. 'We are honoured to share this special day with the amazing children from the Senses Center,' said Nisreen Boustani, PR and Corporate Communication Manager at Mercato. 'At Mercato, we believe in the power of community and inclusion. Today was not just about entertainment — it was about connection, compassion, and celebrating every individual's unique spirit.' To make the day even more meaningful, Mercato organised a warm and cheerful lunch at Shake Shack, where the children enjoyed delicious meals in a caring and inclusive atmosphere. The celebration continued with thoughtful gifts generously offered by Toys 'R' Us, bringing even more smiles and excitement to the young guests. This heartwarming initiative is part of Mercato's ongoing commitment to social responsibility and its efforts to create meaningful experiences for all members of the community. As the nation continues to celebrate the Year of Community, Mercato remains dedicated to championing empathy, inclusion, and joy.

Why World Padel Academy's Summer Camp is the perfect choice for your kids this season
A fun, active, and safe environment where every day is an adventure. When summer hits, every parent starts looking for a place that's safe, air-conditioned, and filled with positive energy—somewhere their kids can learn, grow, and enjoy themselves all at once. That's exactly what World Padel Academy's Summer Camp offers. Running from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with drop-off from 8:30 AM and pick-up until 2:00 PM, the camp is designed to keep kids engaged and excited from the moment they arrive. Every day kicks off with a summer-camp style mini session, featuring 30 to 45 minutes of padel-based fun and interactive drills. That's followed by a friendly meet-and-greet with the coaches and camp team—helping kids warm up and feel at home. The camp welcomes kids aged 6 to 14, divided into two age groups (6–10 and 10–14 years old) to ensure age-appropriate interaction. Each camper also receives an official WPA shirt as part of their registration—so they feel like they're part of the team from day one. Throughout the day, kids take part in fun team sports like dodgeball, foosball, and movement games, as well as creative, brain-stimulating activities that promote teamwork, confidence, and social skills. A daily break is included between 10:30 and 11:00 AM. One of the most appreciated aspects of the camp is its strict no-photo policy. No photography or social media content is allowed inside the camp—even during influencer visits—so children's privacy is fully protected and parents can rest easy.
