Go for a Night Swim with Skyline Views

Swap your usual evening plans for something more refreshing and head out for a night swim at one of Dubai’s stylish beach clubs.

Several venues on Palm Jumeirah are hosting after-dark pool sessions where you can enjoy a relaxed swim under the stars while taking in waterfront views. One popular experience includes a package for AED225, which comes with a main course, four house beverages and access to the pool in a laid-back beach club setting.

It’s a great way to turn a regular weekday evening into a mini escape.

2. Grab a Bargain Coffee at the Drive-Thru

Coffee runs just got more exciting. Peet’s Coffee has brought back its popular license plate discount, and it’s one of the more fun promotions in the city this week.

The concept is simple, the last two digits of your car’s plate number determine your discount, with some customers scoring up to AED75 off. If your plate includes 971, there’s even a flat AED75 discount available during the promotion.

Running across drive-thru locations in Al Wasl, Motor City and Al Furjan, it’s a fun excuse to take the scenic route for your caffeine fix.

3. Spend an Evening at Global Village

Great news for outdoor lovers, Global Village is back, and it’s the perfect excuse to plan an evening out this week.

After a brief closure, the much-loved destination has reopened for its landmark 30th season, welcoming visitors back from 5 pm on April 20. If you’ve missed strolling through its lively streets, sampling global street food or browsing unique finds, now’s the time to return.

A single ticket gives you access to 30 cultural pavilions representing over 90 cultures, plus attractions like the Emirati heritage zone and the vibrant Road of Asia. With entry starting from AED25, it’s one of Dubai’s most affordable and entertaining nights out. The park stays open daily from 4 pm until midnight Sunday to Wednesday, and until 1 am Thursday to Saturday, running through May 10.
