With Father’s Day fast approaching (June 19th for those who don’t know), it’s your duty to give back to the gent that raised you.
If, like a lot of us, you seem to be stuck for ideas as to what to buy him (he seems to have everything already, right?) then perhaps we can help out.
So whether it’s a new pair of sunnies, or a cool experience he won’t forget in a hurry – here’s a quick round-up of some great Father’s Day gift ideas.
For the classy dad
Ted Baker, Miamore leather satchel – Dhs1,445.
If your dad’s pretty good at keeping up with the trends, then a Ted Baker Miamore satchel might fill the hole left in him when briefcases stopped being cool.
For the cool dad
Flyboarding sessions with Hydro Water Sport at JBR – From Dhs199.
It’s a little harder than it looks, but if your dad’s willing to try and reinforce the idea that ‘he’s still got it’, then perhaps a Flyboard experience down at JBR will work. It’s a great photo opportunity too.
For the thrillseeking dad
Indoor skydiving experience at Inflight Dubai – From Dhs144.
If your dad’s not quite ready to jump out of a plane, then perhaps a wind-tunnel skydive experience is right up his alley.
For the adventurous dad
Desert quad biking with Red Dunes Safaris and Adventure Tours – From Dhs89.
If your dad’s somewhat of an outdoorsy guy, then perhaps time spent bashing around Dubai’s desert dunes will be the father’s day gift he needs.

For the suave dad
A Dr. Harris four-piece shaving set – Dhs1,057.
For the true gent, a Dr Harris shaving set will further reinforce your dad’s belief that real men use razors.
Get it here.
For the slick dad
Ray Ban square frame tortoise shell acetate sunglasses – Dhs780.
Slick shades for a slick dad, with a tortoise shell tinge to jazz up his look without going too overboard.
For the tech-savvy (or new) dad
Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II digital camera – Dhs2,600.
One of the best ‘point and shoot’ cameras in the market, with a flip up screen so you your dad can rinse people for selfies when you teach him what a selfie is.
For the overworked dad
Sometimes dads just need a break – but they’ll never admit it themselves. Treat them to a spa day at Jazz Lounge Spa, a proper gent’s spot complete with background Jazz music, Discovery Channel playing on the TV and a range of spa treatments to give them that reboot they so desperately needed.
