As the festive season starts to take off, Dubai prepares for a Halloween weekend filled with more treats than tricks. From sky-high painting sessions to sin-themed parties, to Sunday roasts, the city is serving up a spectacular slate of events. Ditch the basic costume and dive into one of these nine unforgettable experiences.
A Haunting Night Brunch by the Sea

On the 31st of October, this iconic beachfront destination transforms into a stage of mystery and indulgence.

A Dessert Grave at Cutfish
Answer the call of The Grave Temptation at Cutfish. This is not your average tiramisu.
