Dubai’s line-up this week ranges from live comedy and immersive yoga to family waterpark plans and a leisurely beach daycation. This means there are plenty of entertainment options for families and friend groups.
These activities work well for a free evening after work or for plans for the weekend. For those looking to add something to the diary, these are the attractions and offers worth bookmarking to plan out the rest of the week.
Things to Do in Dubai This Week
The Laughter Factory
Kickstart the end of the work week on Friday, 4 September, with The Laughter Factory at Jumeirah Golf Estates at 8 pm. Tickets can be booked via Platinumlist for AED 175.
The line-up includes four comedians from very different backgrounds, each with a distinctive style. They are Kelsey De Almeida, Aideen McQueen, known across the UK and Ireland, Luca Cupani, and Dubai-based Tanveer Khan, whose comedy draws from observational humour about his everyday life.
Yoga Sessions at Arte Museum
Yoga in a space filled with immersive art sounds like an offbeat yet effective weekend reset. On Saturday, 5 September and Sunday, 6 September, Arte Museum Dubai will host wellness and yoga sessions from 8.30 to 9.30 am.
These sessions are part of experiences designed to make the month a little more memorable for visitors. Those interested in signing up must contact the museum via Instagram (@artemuseum_dubai) for details, timings and booking information. Yoga sessions are subject to availability, and spaces are limited, so it’s worth booking in advance.
Day Out at Splash ’n’ Party Water Park
Dubai has a new spot where kids can splash, slide and cool off. Splash ’n’ Party waterpark has opened a new branch in Dubai Hills, featuring colourful water slides, splash pads and water guns, along with a temperature-controlled pool for a fun day out.
Entry is AED 50 per person until Tuesday, 15 September, which makes it an easy family plan for the weekend.
Daycation at One&Only Royal Mirage
Looking for a day of relaxation by the beach? One&Only Royal Mirage is offering a daycation package designed for a leisurely escape, with pool and beach access, afternoon tea and a 60-minute spa treatment included.
Guests have the option of choosing between a Swedish massage, traditional hammam or personalised facial for their spa treatment. The offer is available for adults only and is valid until Wednesday, 30 September, 2026. Full payment is required when making a booking, and all included experiences must be used on the day of the reservation.
Brunch at Son of a Fish
Son of a Fish at Dubai Harbour has a special brunch offer every Saturday from 1 pm till 5 pm. Expect an entire afternoon of Greek-inspired plates, crafted beverages, live entertainment and a DJ setting the mood.
There is a sharing-style menu starting with cold and hot mezedes, followed by a choice of main, sides and dessert. Dishes range from chicken souvlaki to char-grilled tenderloin and Mediterranean seabass. Visit sonofafishdubai.com for reservations.
An Evening at Cat Café Vibrissae
Cat lovers can spend a cosy afternoon at Cat Café Vibrissae in Al Safa Park. Visitors can enjoy a hot chocolate while spending time with the resident cats. It’s a relaxed spot for cat cuddles, cute photos and a little downtime away from the usual cafe routine.
The cafe has branches at Dubai Creek Harbour and Mirdif as well.
A Challenge at Rock Republic Dubai
For a fun way to challenge yourself, head to Rock Republic Dubai in Dubai Investment Park, home to more than 400 square metres of bouldering walls and over 150 climbing routes.
For those new to climbing, climbing shoes are available to help beginners get started and professional instructors on hand for guidance. It’s a fun way to try something new, build strength and work a way up the walls.
With a mix of comedy, food, wellness and live shows, there’s no shortage of ways to spend time this week in Dubai. Some events are one-night-only, while others offer a little more flexibility to fit them around everyday plans. Take a look at what’s on and pick something that suits your mood.
