Ain Dubai is open for public bookings, and the old “still closed after 2021” story is out of date. The 250-metre wheel on Bluewaters reopened in December 2024. My recommendation is to start with the standard Views ticket if the skyline is what you want: a higher-priced package needs to earn its extra cost through…

I would plan Souk Madinat Jumeirah as a relaxed evening: browse first, decide whether the paid abra tour earns its place, then settle into dinner. The mistake is treating it as a free boat ride with guaranteed front-row views from every table. It is a modern, traditional-style marketplace within Madinat Jumeirah, and the waterways are…

Manarat Al Saadiyat earns its place on my Abu Dhabi shortlist for the changing exhibitions and the chance to make something yourself. I’d choose an Art Studio session or a particular show, then build the visit around it. Dropping in simply because it is near the Louvre misses the point: this is the programme-led, hands-on…

Qasr Al Watan is my Abu Dhabi pick for a palace visit with substance beyond the dome photograph. I’d give the Great Hall, House of Knowledge and exhibits proper time, then add Palace in Motion only when the ticket and timetable work together. The architecture makes the first impression; understanding what the rooms are for…

Bar du Port is one for the group chat when the brief is waterfront dining with music. At Pier Club, Dubai Harbour, its French-Mediterranean menus and Saturday DJ brunch give the evening a clear direction. I’d choose it for that combination—not for a quiet catch-up where the soundtrack is an unwanted extra. Here’s where I’d…
