At La Petite Ani in Gate Avenue, Reform Athletica runs complimentary classes on November 8, from 8.30am until 9.20am and from 9.30am until 10.20am. Each session accommodates 10 participants.
Reservations open at 6pm on November 5 through Reform Athletica’s app or website. Bring grip socks. Participants receive coffee, a 20% breakfast discount and a voucher offering 20% off a subsequent visit.
What are the waterfront dining options?
Kinugawa and Casea 101 offer two waterside choices for a weekend meal.
Kinugawa has reopened with refreshed interiors at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Its menu combines Japanese cooking with French influences, and the beachfront setting overlooks the Arabian Gulf.
The newly opened Casea 101 by Yannick Alléno serves Mediterranean food at One&Only The Palm on Palm Jumeirah. Its waterfront terrace is an option for lunch, sunset drinks or dinner. For further browsing, see the guide to seaside dining in Dubai.
What does this mean for visitors?
Plan around the fixed concert dates and reserve a Microformer place before attending. Breakfast carries a discount rather than being included free with the class.
The listed concert prices are starting rates, so use the relevant venue or ticket provider to confirm your selection. If sightseeing is also part of your weekend, review the Dubai Iconic Places Tour when arranging the rest of your itinerary.
