Your ultimate guide to the weekend – May 20 to May 22.
Brunch is back
With Dubai announcing an updated set of precautionary measures for restaurants earlier this week, it was also announced that brunches are back.
From a contemporary take on Japanese cuisine to Insta-worthy cocktails, Emirates Woman is here to help you choose from all the luxe havens to dine at on a Friday afternoon this season. Read our round-up of the best brunches back on the scene here.
Dinner with breathtaking Burj Khalifa views
Enjoying dinner with views of the Burj Khalifa never gets old. For uninterrupted views of the world’s tallest building head to GAL Restaurant & Lounge, formerly known as ‘The Galliard’. The all-new GAL continues to showcase Mediterranean-Turkish fusion and inspired recipes from France, Italy and Spain, whilst placing art and music in focus. The Mediterranean-Turkish concept includes various facets such as: a bustling open kitchen; an extensive cellar, a sophisticated cocktail bar and an open-air terrace that boasts up-close and, of course, those amazing Burj views.

As live entertainment is back, head to the Dubai Opera to see The Gipsy Kings by Andre Reyes. The popular group, which has introduced millions of listeners to a unique, irresistible blend of traditional flamenco styles with Western tunes and Latin rhythms, will be performing this weekend on May 20 and May 21.
A newly revamped old staple
An old Dubai favourite has reopened its doors with a totally revamped space. Seven Sisters is once again welcoming guests to a redesigned and aesthetically elevated space featuring stylised emerald lounges, “living” décor of greenery and foliage, accompanied with wooden tones of nature. Merging the flavours, spirit and ingredients of Mediterranean and Asian cuisines (MediterrAsian for short), vibrant dishes at the hotspot include spicy beef gyoza, the katsu beef sandwich, red miso lamb chops and the Den miso black cod.
