On Monday April 5, the What’s On Dubai Awards 2021 took place at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina. In order to hold the event, the What’s On team ensured that every safety protocol was followed from start to finish.

The guest list featured the top names in Dubai’s hospitality industry, each of whom had to present proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test upon arrival. We capped the tables at seven, all spaced out three metres apart, and masks were only removed briefly for photos.

*Winner’s List*
*Photos: Highly Commended*
*Photos during the night*
