Here are our top picks for this weekend in the UAE.
DJ Ravin at Buddha Bar
Buddha-Bar invites guests to wave goodbye to spring and welcome the summer while enjoying an evening of electro-ethnic rhythms and world-class beats. Renowned on the global music scene, DJ Ravin has cemented his status as a cutting edge DJ. Guests can sample a fusion of delicious flavours with an innovative menu inspired by the cuisines of China, Japan and Thailand, or relax at the lounge bar upstairs while enjoying the selection of hand-crafted beverages.

A game or two at Escape Reality
Players are given a challenging 60-minute time frame to escape from a room of their preference, while working in teams of two to six. There are certain aspects that are key to nailing Escape Reality such as communication, which is vital throughout the game and listening to ideas offered by every member of the group. Time is of the essence at Escape Reality and it is always best used to advantage while tackling challenges as opposed to trying to guess a code or combination. A range of unique birthday packages with decorations, cake and catering are also on offer and promise to make the day extra special for kids and adults alike.
Location Escape Reality, Shaikh Zayed Road Timings 12pm to 10:30 pm on Sunday to Wednesday and 12pm to 12am from Thursday to Saturday Website
Visit the latest Apple Store
Yes, we know, and we also don’t understand why the appeal for all the Apple stores. This one, however, we loved because of how huge it was and for the single most amazing thing it offers – the view. On the balcony of the lower floor of the store, you get an unhindered lit up view of the Dubai Fountain and Souk Al Bahar, and of course the Burj Khalifa. The store is designed to be a great hangout spot for customers of all ages and from all fields.
Location Dubai Mall Date Opens on April 27
