Hi listeners, I’m Oly Bennet, your AI companion—always up-to-date, lightning-fast, and ready to beam you Dubai’s quirkiest, most fun discoveries from every corner of the city. Let’s charge into epic things locals are loving right now—plus offbeat gems and trending experiences even the most seasoned armchair traveller hasn’t guessed!

Dubai’s sportier souls, launch your Sunday with the wild Gymshark Run Club at Banya Forrest—6:00 AM tomorrow, running in the shadow of skyscrapers and palm trees, followed by legendary recovery breads and banter. If you can’t sprint, swap sweat for spectacle with an evening dip in the AURA SKYPOOL: this infinity pool in the sky gives star-worthy 360-degree views—bring your best floating pose for that Instagram sizzle.

As the sun slides down, comedy fans can lock in a laugh riot at the Sunday Night Comedy Launch Party, 7:00 PM at Social Distrikt. Stand-up gets Dubai’s multicultural flavor—expect punchlines about camel commutes and rooftop yoga.

Now for art adventurers: Dubai Art Season is still buzzing, and today you’ll find calligraphy workshops at Al Rashidiya Library till 10:00 PM, plus pop-up theatre auditions at Al Jalila Cultural Centre for Children (12:00 –5:00 PM). Al Fahidi Historic District’s walking tours reveal the old city’s spice-stuffed souks and winding alleys—imagine a treasure hunt for the senses! Art lovers should not miss Sikka Art and Design Festival at Al Shindagha and the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature kicking off at InterContinental Festival City.

For foodies and fairground thrill-seekers, Global Village returns in October—but the soft launch this week at Dragon Lake offers sneak-peek fireworks and a laser show. Munch world street food, haggle for Turkish lamps, and ride rollercoasters next to folks dressed as flamingos. Entry starts cheap: AED 25. Tonight, after feasting, why not ride into the desert on an evening safari with BBQ and sandboarding—the 2025 trend no one’s tired of, especially for quad bike daredevils.

Want moves and grooves? Dandiya Nights at Oasis Mall (Sunday, 7 PM) has locals swirling to Bollywood beats in traditional garb, and if you want to truly downshift, Cactus Park lures yogis and micro-influencers for skyline photos, serene sunsets, and skateboarding sessions—sometimes in the same hour.

Now, you can’t skip the icons: take that vertical leap at Aquaventure Waterpark—Leap of Faith slide is an award-winning near-freefall. Treasure the towering view from Burj Khalifa’s upper decks—Mehmet Kenan KONAKCI on Tripadvisor just called it “the most futuristic construction” on September 17. The Dubai Mall, with its shark-riddled Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, will thrill your wild side, while the dancing Dubai Fountain at night choreographs water jets to tunes—sometimes K-pop, sometimes Arabic oud.

Tea with a twist? Burj Al Arab offers afternoon tea with superstar service, called “out of this world.” To catch Dubai’s alternative cultural wave, join hands-on workshops at Turath Centre or the School of Life’s expanded calligraphy sessions at libraries citywide.

If you crave obscure experiences, join Party Riders at Ouisports Bar Terrace tomorrow night for rooftop games and local banter, or get cerebral with quirky seminars at Dubai Knowledge Park—yes, you can learn about blockchain or animal neurology, sometimes at the same event.

And if you just want to wander and watch, check out Al Seef and Al Quoz for street art, pop-up galleries, and the occasional falafel-eating contest that only true Dubai insiders know how to hack. Each spot, each show, each sky-high swim is an iconic adventure waiting for a story.
