WE CHOOSE SEVEN. DO YOU HAVE AN EIGHTH?
Books, movies, Eid fireworks, stageshows and so much more here’s looking forward to another great week
sunday 25 Sensory Art
Art is so important for our cultural development and is a great way to start the week. Of all the exhibitions in Dubai, this is one not to miss! Artist Chittrovanu Mazumdar pushes the envelope of expression with immersive installations using video, audio, text, ambient lighting, colour, scent, objects, and variety of materials including wood, metal, smoke, flowers, velvet and other intriguing elements. It’s a complete sensory experience! www.1x1artgallery
monday 26 To the Movies
We love heading to the movies with our family and friends and there isn’t a better movie to catch than Transformers
The Last Knight! starring Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins and Josh Duhamel. The premise of the story revolves around humans and Transformers at war with each other. With Optimus Prime gone, the key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. www.reelcinemas.ae
tuesday 27 Eid Mubarak!
Eid Mubarak to you and your family! After a day celebrating with family and friends, we suggest you head over to Dubai Festival City Bay. There will be a variety of entertainment taking place including an exclusive musical fireworks display (yes musical!) that will light up the skies with a spectacular show of pattern, colour and sound. Make sure you get their early to beat the crowds and book your space! www.facebook.com/ DubaiFestivalCity/
wednesday 28 On the Stage
We are pretty excited about this! The very humble engineer turned pop star, Iraqi singer Majed al Mohandes, who we love, returns to Dubai to enchant audiences with his soulful songs. He’s one of the most popular Arabic pop singers today, known for his amazing vocal, hit songs and charming and personable personality on and off the stage! We are excited to see him perform top hits such as
Ya Hob Ya Hob and Tenadeek all happening at Dragon Mart 2. www.dragonmart.ae
thursday 29 Book Worm
Time to cosy up with a good book! We recommend you check out Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson. The story revolves around a young man called Alif living in a city in the Middle East who accidentally creates a computer program that can identify anyone online! Meanwhile, he comes into the possession of an ancient and mysterious book. It’s a brilliant story combining magical stories with new age digital fiction all in a familiar setting to us. www.uae.kinokuniya.com friday 30 Turn Up The Music One of Dubai’s most creative performing arts schools will be performing four live shows across two days at the end of June. Talented students will give their all in singing, dancing and theatrics in a musical spectacular. Sounds amazing! www.diversechoreography.com
