In this latest capsule collection, the Maison is celebrating one of the studio’s most acclaimed films, Spirited Away, the 2001 animated epic which secured director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli a number of prizes, including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards ceremony.

For the first official weekend of 2022, why not try out a brand new coffee spot? The second branch, under the Tania’s Teahouse brand, Sereni-tea has launched and is located in the heart of Umm Suqeim. Nestled among the lush and zen grounds of Keyani – a wellness centre offering holistic treatments and yoga – Sereni-tea offers visitors a uniquely calm and serene environment. The interiors, unlike the pink flagship, offer a hygge vibe with neutral, earthy and pastel shades.

With COVID-19 cases rising, many may be opting to stay home this weekend. If so, why not bring the fine-dining experience into the comfort of your own space. One of our favourite Dubai restaurants Gaia, a concept created by the talented Chef Izu Ani, is available for delivery exclusively on Deliveroo. Enjoy some of the restaurants most beloved dishes right from the comfort of your own home including a greek salad with barrel-aged feta and homemade pickled olives to start, then Mezze selection, which is ideal for sharing, including Tzatziki and pita bread, Taramasalata with koulouri bread and Melitzanosalata, paired with sourdough bread. Opt for the grilled ribeye steak or whole grilled sea bream for the main course and complete your at-home fine-dining experience with semolina sponge coconut cake with coconut ice cream, or traditional orange pie with Greek yogurt, mastiha ice cream and olive oil, to perfectly balance the palette.
