Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and if you haven’t made any plans yet, here are some ways to make the occasion extra special.
Afternoon tea at the The Ritz-Carlton Dubai
While it might be a little late notice to plan something special for your mother – or with your children – to celebrate Mother’s Day, the old expression ‘better late than never’ continues to ring true.
As the day approaches (Mother’s Day falls on Thursday, March 21st in the UAE while UK-natives will celebrate on March 31st) we’ve rounded up a list of things to do to make it a day to remember, whenever you celebrate.
Afternoon Tea
The Lobby Lounge Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
Finger food, refreshing drinks and fabulous company; a special afternoon tea is the sophisticated way to spend the day with your mother. Our recommendation? The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai.

Indoor dwellers can enjoy the elaborate chandeliers while alfresco diners can soak up views of luscious resort gardens. The event will run between March 29-31st between 12.30-5pm and prices will begin at Dhs 195.
