Things to do in Dubai this weekend

The UAE is expecting high temperatures this weekend, mamas, but there’s no need to stay at home! We’ve rounded up lots of events and offers to keep you and the kiddos entertained, from brilliant staycation deals, to the hottest new movie for kiddos, to treating hubby for Father’s Day! Diaries at the ready!

Trial Gymnastics Class

Have your kiddos always wanted to try gymnastics? This is their chance to give it a go, without you having to commit to a whole term of classes (and that’s music to our ears, right mamas?). Dubai Olympic Gymnastics Club is hosting a trial class on Friday afternoon for boys over the age of 4 and girls over the age of 3. And if they enjoy it, there will be a chance to sign up from September. Little gymnasts should wear either a leotard or close fitting tee and shorts to take part.

When: Friday, 16 June, 2pm-3pm
Where: Dubai Olympic Gymnastics Club, Street 12A, off Al Wasl Road (behind Box Park)
How much: 60 AED

Cars 3

We’re just as excited as the kiddos about this one, mamas, as Disney Pixar have just released the much-anticipated movie Cars 3 – and we can be amongst the first to see it this weekend at cinemas across the UAE. Lightning McQueen is the star of the show once again, as he battles to stay up with a new generation of blazing-fast racing cars. And with most cinemas serving food and drink during the day mamas, we can feed the kiddos too.

Where: Cinemas across the UAE
How much: Various prices
