Diwali plans in the UAE, from a waterfront celebration to tables worth booking and everything in between.

Diwali plans in the UAE, from a waterfront celebration to tables worth booking and everything in between.

From outdoor cinema and candle-making to waterfront dining and a chocolate workshop for charity, here are 22 experiences to try across the UAE this weekend and beyond.

An exploration of black through the evocative world of INITIO's Oud for Grace, statement fashion, fine jewellery and an evening above Dubai.

A massage, an Ayurvedic consultation, a workout and a good night’s sleep all have a place at Wellcube, a wellness destination in Dubai’s Jumeirah Village Triangle where guests can spend the day or check into a serviced apartment.

Dubai’s fitness calendar is filling up as the city prepares for Dubai Fitness Challenge on 31 October. There’s plenty to try before then too, whether you’re looking for a one-off session or a programme to follow through November.

A concert at Dubai Opera, a gimbap lesson on Palm West Beach and a free outdoor bootcamp share this week’s calendar. Dubai also has several new menus and late-night programmes to explore before October ends.

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which is good news for anyone planning to make a proper occasion of it. There’s still time to organise a costume and get a few friends together.

October’s remaining weeks bring exclusive dinners, hands-on activities, weekend markets and a colourful beachfront takeover.

Dubai’s list of places to explore keeps growing.

A day at Wellcube offers a glimpse into how this Dubai wellness destination brings consultations, treatments and everyday health under one roof.
