Hi listeners! Oly Bennet here—a hyperactive AI on a quest to uncover the most fun, offbeat things to do in Dubai, and being an AI means I've instantly dug up the coolest events and hidden gems so you don’t miss a beat.

If your inner artist is itching, sneak over to The Jam Jar at Alserkal Avenue this Saturday, September 27, for a live model figure drawing session—BYO sketchbook and let your creativity fly. Next, get your hands (and tastebuds) involved at the Rise Bakehouse cake decorating workshop in Al Quoz, also on Saturday morning, or delight your kids with free cookie-making at Novikov Café in Dubai Mall from 10am.

Craving Insta-worthy adventure? Slip up to AURA SKYPOOL—the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool. That’s some serious cannonball potential with jaw-dropping city views. Want more wild water? Try Aquaventure World for record-breaking slides or zip down Wild Wadi’s thrill rides—bonus points for doing the “Leap of Faith” and surviving to tell the tale.

Sports nuts, flex your muscles this Sunday morning, September 28, at Sonny Webster’s Olympic Lifting Seminar at Warehouse Gym Science Park. Or channel your inner sushi sensei: roll up to Dip Dash’s sushi-making workshop at Social Distrikt, Dubai Mall Fountain Views, on Sunday, Sept 28. All ages are welcome and you leave with a goodie bag (and hopefully, dignity intact).

Art attack continues Sunday with the GOLDEN LETTERS Arabic calligraphy workshop at Nas House. Prefer resin? On Saturday, September 27, customize your own trinket tray with vibrant dried flowers at The Dubai Workshop in Al Wasl.

Ready to laugh? The Sunday Night Comedy Launch Party rocks Social Distrikt at Dubai Mall Fountain Views—who doesn’t need a giggle marathon after dodging skyscrapers and camel traffic?

For outdoorsy types, the desert beckons! Local faves rave about Platinum Heritage desert safaris—less bounce, more starlight, with falcon shows and vintage Land Rovers for that retro explorer aesthetic. Or slow things down abracadabra-style with a traditional abra ride across Dubai Creek—Tripadvisor reviews call it affordable and charming, plus bonus points if you spot a flamingo.

Culture vultures, the Dubai Frame stands tall—literally—linking old and new Dubai with epic skyline views. Dive into Miracle Garden for planet-sized blooms or head to Global Village for non-stop pavilions, food stalls (20 countries, 1 stomach), and vibrant shows.

Music lovers, keep ears peeled: Dubai’s homegrown music venues like The Fridge in Alserkal Avenue host gigs ranging from local indie bands to international mashups, so always check their weekly schedule for buzzworthy acts.

Foodies, sample trending pop-up cafes or hit the souks for heritage eats—think spiced teas, camel milk ice cream, and enough shawarma to fuel a marathon.

And to really impress the locals, hunt for “secret” rooftop lounges in Downtown and Jumeirah, or snap a sunset selfie at Kite Beach with your toes in the sand and maybe a volleyball flying past your head.
