A women’s webinar, new cinema night and more…

Welcome to the start of a brand new week. There’s plenty happening across Dubai, from new ladies’ nights, restaurants, live music and more. Have a great week.

Here’s five things to do in Dubai this week.

1. Brush up on your German

Cinema Akil continues its season of foreign language films with a new collection of German movies. From September 4 to October 31, you can catch four flicks ranging from classic to contemporary. Kicking off with 1976 acclaimed classic Kings of the Road, followed by Goodbye Berlin, running until September 17. Measuring the World is up next, an award-winning film by Detlev Buck before closing with a 1979 blockbuster, The Ticket of No Return.

2. Jam out to some live music

What better way to spend a Monday night than listening to some quality live music? Add to that a delicious platter and unlimited drinks and you’ve got a great night out. That’s what you’ll find at Iris every Monday. This week it’s the turn of Dubai songster Gari Deegan, performing on September 7 from 8pm. A sharing food selection and unlimited wine, beer and spirits will cost you Dhs170 per person.

Wednesday September 9

5. Enjoy breakfast at a new spot

There’s a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant opening at The Pointe this month, on Monday September 7.  The expansive breakfast menu is worth checking out, as it features the best French toast we’ve ever tasted (bold but true) and a truffle croissant with perfectly scrambled egg. If the idea of a delicious breakfast doesn’t get you excited, the lunch and dinner menu is equally as tempting.

Il Passaggio, The Pointe, Palm Jumeirah, Sunday to Thursday 9am to 10pm, Friday and Saturday 8am to 10pm, opens Monday September 7. Tel: (04) 587 3111. @ilpassaggio_dxb
