9 exciting things to do this weekend in Dubai — curated picks from Emirates Woman
A short, practical guide to the weekend experiences the Emirates Woman roundup highlights, with dates, locations and what to expect from each confirmed event.
Useful takeaways from this story.
Food & drink: Extended breakfast at Mandarin Oriental and a Mid-Autumn Festival menu at MEI (also on Bluewaters) give reasons to book a table.
Hands-on and staycation: A cake-decorating workshop at Rise Bakehouse and a discounted stay-for-breakfast offer at Four Points provide low-fuss escapes.
Events run on specific weekend dates (mostly Sept 24–27) so check availability and book in advance.
City staycation: Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road
Four Points is promoting a short city-break offer: 20% off the "Stay for Breakfast" rate on eligible Saturday and Sunday nights. The package includes daily breakfast and free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival. Available for Saturday and Sunday nights through year-end. Where: Four Points by Sheraton Sheikh Zayed Road.
All-day breakfast at The Bay, Mandarin Oriental Jumeira
Sunday, 12:30pm–4pm. The menu expands into savoury shared plates and desserts and adds a French Mediterranean selection that includes dishes such as Dover Sole Meunière and a Wagyu Steak Sandwich. Where: The Bay at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira.
Mid-Autumn Festival menus at MEI and SHI
MEI Restaurant at Mina Al Salam (and SHI on Bluewaters Island) is serving a special Mid-Autumn Festival menu built around crab and a purpose-made Moon Cake dessert. The menu runs for a limited three-day window: 25–27 September. MEI, SHI and MOLI (Dubai Hills Business Park) all offer the Moon Cake during the period.
Maison Lumière at-home hammam treatments
If you prefer to stay home, Maison Lumière is offering at-home hammam rituals. Choices include a 150-minute Velvet Rose Hammam and a 75-minute Neroli Breeze Hammam. Treatments follow a traditional sequence: black soap cleanse, sea salt exfoliation, Rhassoul clay, mint cool-down and infrared heat, finishing with an argan hair cleanse and botanical dry-oil massage. An Energy Reset Ritual with cupping is also available. Bookings are by at-home appointment.
Rise Bakehouse Cakes in Bloom workshop
Rise Bakehouse has launched a 90-minute Cakes in Bloom workshop combining cake decoration and floral piping techniques. Each participant works on a mini square cake, finishing with a buttercream base and piped petals, leaves and edible flowers. The session is pitched at beginner to intermediate levels. Dates: 26–27 September. Where: Rise Bakehouse, Al Quoz.
- For treatments and workshops that require appointments, confirm travel time and any pre-treatment instructions (e.g., arrival time, clothing).
