5 brilliant things to do in Dubai this week

From a new pool deal to a spicy feast…

Without quite knowing how it happened, it’s Sunday again and a new week has arrived. There’s no need for the Sunday blues though, as there’s plenty to do in Dubai this week to keep you entertained.

Here’s 5 brilliant things to do in Dubai this week… 

Indulge in an Ugly Burger

While you might be used to us spilling the beans on the prettiest places to eat in the city, Ugly Burgers are too good not to mention. The indulgent delivery option is the ideal order for a lazy mid-week dinner or a chill-on-the-sofa Sunday treat. The burgers can be beef, chicken, single or double, with plenty of choice when it comes to toppings. You need to try the chicken nuggets as well – the asymmetric bites are light and tender so you can tell they didn’t come out of the freezer.
