Have a 'mindful' outdoor adventure
Ever wondered if it's too late to pursue your dreams? Well, Adventurati Outdoor, an outdoor company that arranges trips and tours to the wilderness of the UAE, will be collaborating with life coaches Michael Maas and Mais Al Hasan to offer a special two-day course.

Can this be Dubai's longest burger?
Is it a burger? Or a sub? We can't decide but it does look delicious! You'll find this standout dish - aptly named the Half Meter Surprise - along with other offerings at Graze B Burger Garden in City Walk. Set next to Graze Gastro Grill, the casual outdoor garden allows you to make the most of the weather and serves lip-smacking dishes. They even have freakshakes! Visit www.livelaville.com for more info. 
Run along the Palm
Marathons seem to be our word of the week and if you're preparing for the Dubai Marathon, why not take a shot at the Palm Run first? In association with Fitness First and RaceME, the Palm Run is for all ages and abilities (as you can choose the distance you want to run). The marathon will take place on January 19 and prices start at Dh75. For more information, go to www.uae.fitnessfirstme.com/sponsoredevents/palmrun.
 Ready to go down the rabbit hole?
You wouldn't want to miss The Ballet Centre's biennial production - a musical rendition of Alice in Wonderland that will be performed by 130 of their talented students (aged 7-20). The fairy tale will be transformed with the help of ballet, tap and modern dance and is sure to be a feet-stomping experience. Another reason to go? All proceeds will be donated to Breast Friends and Al Jalila Foundation for cancer research. The show takes place on January 19. Tickets start at Dh125 (and can be bought on www.ductac.org).
