At this time of year Dubai is the place to be – we’ve got the best winter weather (well, it’s cooler) and we’re spoiled for choice with events and buzzing new hangouts. No wonder planeloads of people are arriving daily to join us for this weekend’s hotlist…
IN BLOOM
Although we’re nearing the end of autumn, it does feel a lot like spring. To add to that feeling a brand new clubbing concept has blossomed in Dubai. Officially launched last weekend, Fleurs is a temporary pop-up origami-style venue that opens on Thursday and Friday nights only. With live music from resident artists Shaya and Stefania, we’ll be there to see it in full bloom before it’s gone.

THE RIGHT KEYS
We couldn’t be more exciting about having Alicia Keys perform on our doorstep at the Media City Amphitheatre this Friday. With 14 Grammy awards to her name, this multi-disciplined artist, philanthropist, and top ranked R&B singer is on our EW all-round awesome woman list. As if that wasn’t enough, Alicia is bringing us a gift named Jason Derulo. Set our world on fire Ms Keys!

LOCO LINE UP
This weekend’s Sandance is virtual insanity – the team has put together an unbelievable lineup of worldclass acts. With headliners Jamiroquai and Basement Jaxx supported by Chic featuring the legend that is Nile Rogers, Martin Solveig, Rudimental, Laidback Luke, Richard Durand and more we are struggling to concentrate in anticipation of this beach festival. All we can say is BRING IT ON!

HIT THE BULLSEYE
Just when we thought we’d sampled all the cuisine that Dubai has to offer, a new restaurant has caught our attention. El Sur at the Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi is a Spanish gastronomic adventure. The contemporary space gives you a hint of the innovative beverages and food on offer. The stylish interior includes a spectacular living wall and specially commissioned artwork by Spanish illustrator Gabriel Moreno. I think we’ve found our new fave hotspot.
