A quick-fire weekly curation of what’s worth knowing in Dubai and beyond right now. Less than 10 discoveries, no fluff, just the best.
1. Café to Bookmark - Maisan15
A hidden gem in the most unusual of places, tucked next to Marriott Residences in Arjan. This rustic cafe with natural light is everything you need when you're looking for something subtle and just a little different.
Golden Rule is a fragrance that draws you in instantly. Sparkling mandarin and warm pink pepper open with a burst of energy before melting into creamy coconut milk and lush vanilla. Threads of jasmine and orange blossom linger in the background, leaving a trail that feels opulent yet effortless, a scent for your own golden era.
3. Dessert Fix - Crushed Milk Chocolate Cookies at NAC Dubai
The freshly baked, thick, chewy cookies, are generously studded with chunks of milk chocolate, and are irresistibly soft in the centre. Served warm and topped with soft serve ice cream and frosties. Our ideal way is to have them with a cup of Earl Grey which is one of the best we've tasted.
Ramen in Dubai, but done with tradition. Six seats at the counter, steaming bowls, and izakaya-style plates that feel intimate yet elevated. Book ahead, the city’s food insiders already know.
5. Quote to Steal
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm"
A small but big results giving ritual. Either morning or evening, before or after a shower, follow with body skincare, serums, moisturisers and oils, same love that you give your face. Low effort, high payoff.
A vivid portrait of the 12th-century leader who united the Arab world and reclaimed Jerusalem. Brilliant in battle yet admired for his generosity, Saladin remains a potent symbol of unity and resistance — and this biography brings his world to life.
