Whether you fancy celebrating the Easter holidays in the traditional way or you’d prefer to use your weekend to try out something different going on in Dubai, we’ve rounded up some of the interesting things happening this weekend for you to try!
Visit the Hermès pop-up shop
Until 22nd April 2017, Hermès has launched a pop-up shop in the middle of Place des Lumières at City Walk 2.
The concept is fun and simple; you bring along your old Hermès scarf and the team at the ‘Hermès Wash’ will dip-dye it for you to give it a new lease of life! The shop is filled with laundromat style washing machines and you can choose from pink, blue or green dip-dyes.
The process of dying takes about two hours, so you can drop off your scarf, have fun discovering the cool store and then pick up your good-as-new scarf at the Hermès store in the Mall of the Emirates 48 hours later!
Enjoy the beautiful backdrop of Dubai at the Armani Hotel
However you plan to celebrate the traditions of the season, Armani Hotel Dubai has a cultural dining experience that covers every culinary opportunity.
The gourmet sharing menus at Armani/Ristorante and Armani/Deli showcase signature takes on seasonal lamb dishes such as sundried tomato-crusted lamb with artichokes, while Armani/Mediterraneo serves up a two-day Easter offering with a buffet menu featuring poached white asparagus, stewed rabbit leg and Eggs Benedict every which way.
Even Armani/Lounge has a flavour of the season with a special twist on our classic afternoon tea and the Armani culinary team will be hard at work creating a menagerie of chocolate bunnies and handcrafted decorated Easter eggs.
On 14th April there will be an Easter inspired brunch with ten live cooking stations plus a live band and games for the kids to enjoy!
Join in the Easter Egg hunt at Legoland
Legoland Dubai is celebrating Easter weekend with ‘The Egg Hunt’ experience. From 14-17 April, families that visit Legoland Dubai will be given a treasure map so they can complete a fun Egg Hunt around the park together, following riddles and clues to find six hidden Lego eggs!
Guests will also be given Lego themed bunny ears to wear around the park; it promises to be a fun day out for the family and one that the kids will definitely remember!
Try out the new dinner menu at Vida Downtown
Vida Downtown has launched a delicious new dinner menu and what better time to give it a try than over the Easter weekend!
Chef James Knight-Pacheco has pulled out all of the stops for his contemporary and creative takeover of the popular 3in1 restaurant and lounge, to curate a menu which boasts international influences, fresh, organic ingredients and a modern ‘Vida’ flair.
Take in some culture and visit World Art Dubai
His Highness Sheikh Hasher bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, Director-General of Dubai’s Department of Information, officially opened the third season of World Art Dubai this week at Dubai World Trade Center.
The event runs until Saturday 15 April 2017 and features an impressive collection of more than 3,000 paintings, prints, sculptures and photographs available for purchase. The event ensures that it has something for everyone, from new buyers and seasoned art connoisseurs to the simply curious.
