Fireworks

Enjoy delicious dishes at 15 waterfront restaurants at Dubai Festival City Mall overlooking the spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky tonight. Displays will be taking place at 8pm and 10pm.

World view

Bust a move with the traditional Ayyala performances and Tanoura dancers, watch a BMX bike rider perform some jaw-dropping stunts or learn ancient Arabic tales as told by the Hakawati storyteller, taking place until August 13 from 11am to 11pm at IMG Worlds of Adventure.

Cine magic

Bollywood's Jabariya Jodi, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra, pulls us in many directions. Some fabulous dialogue will keep you chuckling, but it does last a rather long time. It's on across the UAE now. We give it two out of five stars.
Sharjah activities
Souq Al Jubail is currently hosting an Eid event featuring a series of exciting activities, games and workshops. It'll run today between 4pm-9pm at the main entrance in SQAJ. Enjoy henna artists and cooks at live cooking stations serving assorted delicacies including the famous local sweet, 'logaimat', crepes and a whole lot more.

Museum moments

With so much to experience and explore at the four themed zones, The Wheels, The Arcadium, Little Adventures and Karting Zone, and Showtime Zones - it is bound to put a smile on everyone's face.
Go GLOW

One of Netflix's most popular series, GLOW, is back for its third season for you to binge. The nostalgic look at '80s women's wrestling, based on a true story, returns and this time the whole crew find themselves headlining a Vegas casino show.
Special menu
GIA has a Black Cod a la carte menu until Saturday. With a lunch and dinner menu to remember, sit down to a variety of Italian dishes that include delicate black cod such as arancini allo zafferano e merluzzo nero, a saffron arancini with black cod and arrabbiata sauce, or merluzzo nero su carpaccio di barbabietola, a beetroot carpaccio with black cod and a delectable portobello mousse.
