After you finish enjoying the exhibitions, you can order your favourite meal through the app, head to the pick-up point and receive your order in a wicker picnic hamper, complete with a rollout mat, condiments and a set of Jameel Arts Centre's Artist's Rooms books to read. You'll also get a complimentary Mirzan chocolate bar. What more do you need?

The great escape
If you're looking for a way to challenge those grey cells, how about trying an escape room? Escape Hunt's Jack the Ripper challenge may be just what you need to get out your thinking caps. Set in 1888, the theme has you monitoring a peculiar murder. You have details of the killer but no evidence - so when he leaves his house for 60 minutes, you have the opportunity to get the proof you need before he turns. Prices start at Dh120 per pax.
