6 cool things to do in the UAE this weekend: Ladies' nights, snow-cations, zipline thrills and more
Looking for a fun-filled weekend across the UAE? Whether you're in the mood for high-flying adventures, stylish brunches, alpine-style escapes, or cutting-edge nightlife, this roundup has something for everyone. From Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, here are six standout experiences to add to your plans — including a new croissant-crust pizza, a karaoke-filled ladies' night, and a thrilling zipline-meets-burger combo. Here's the list:
Summer thrill combo
Soar through the skies and sink your teeth into a juicy reward. This summer, every XLine Dubai booking comes with a Five Guys meal voucher — valid for a burger, hot dog, or sandwich plus a drink. From June to August, enjoy the world's longest urban zipline as you fly 'superman-style' over Dubai Marina at 80 km/h, then refuel at any Five Guys outlet across the UAE.
Kick off the weekend in style every Thursday at Luxuria's PINK CODE night — a glamorous affair of karaoke, elegance, and free-flowing bubbly. From 9pm to 11pm, ladies can sip on complimentary grape and sparkling beverages while competing in the Best Song Performance contest. Dress to impress and bring your crew for a night of Russian-inspired flair and fun.
Winter in summer
Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind summer snow-cation at Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates. Escape the heat with a stay in the luxurious Aspen Ski Chalets, offering cosy alpine vibes, faux fur throws, a crackling fireplace, and stunning views of Ski Dubai. It's the perfect blend of mountain charm and city convenience — right in the heart of Dubai.
Head to Ras Al Khaimah
Check out Rixos Al Mairid's X Lounge, the UAE's largest Rixos entertainment hub in Ras Al Khaimah. Spanning 2,400 sqm with space for 500 guests, the venue will blend live music, immersive shows, and premium hospitality in a sleek, modern setting. Expect beachy daytime vibes and high-energy nights, with themed events, international acts, and a sensory-rich atmosphere. X Lounge is set to redefine nightlife and entertainment in the northern emirate.
Try the Croissant Pizza
Papa Johns has introduced its latest creation — the Croissant Pizza, now available across the UAE. Combining the flaky, buttery texture of a croissant with bold pizza flavours, this limited-time offering features a light, layered crust and customisable toppings. As part of the global launch, Papa Johns has also teamed up with designer KidSuper to release a limited-edition hot bag inspired by the pizza's craftsmanship. Available for a limited time.
