  • Welcome to 'Things to do in Dubai' on this vibrant Friday, January 24, 2025 As we kick off the day, Dubai is buzzing with energy and excitement. The weather is perfect, with daytime temperatures reaching a pleasant 24°C and 8 hours of sunshine, making it an ideal day to explore this stunning city.

    Today, Dubai is alive with a variety of events that cater to all interests. For shopping enthusiasts, the Dubai Shopping Festival is still in full swing until mid-January, offering unbeatable deals and discounts across the city. Don't miss the nightly DSF Drone Light Show between JBR and Bluewaters Island, a spectacle that lights up the night sky.

    Music lovers are in for a treat as Metro Boomin takes the stage at the Coca-Cola Arena tonight. If you're a fan of live music, this is an event you won't want to miss. For those who enjoy sports, the Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament is ongoing at the Emirates Golf Club, featuring some of the world's top golfers.

    In addition to these events, families can enjoy the DSF Nights at Dubai Festival City Mall, which includes fireworks, live performances, and plenty of family-friendly activities.

    On the local news front, there was a minor incident earlier today when a flydubai flight to Hargeisa International Airport was aborted prior to takeoff due to safety precautions. Fortunately, all passengers and crew were safely evacuated and accommodated on a replacement aircraft.

    If you're looking for must-do activities today, consider visiting the Dubai Design District (D3) for a blend of art, design, and culture. For a unique experience, head to the Al Marmoom: Film in the Desert Festival, where you can enjoy movies under the stars in a serene desert setting. Don't forget to check out the Dubai Lights display, which illuminates key landmarks across the city.

    Here’s a local tip: Did you know that Fridays are the weekly day off in Dubai? This means many locals and expats alike use this day to relax, socialize, or explore the city. To navigate like a local, consider visiting the local souks (markets) on Fridays for a more laid-back and authentic shopping experience.

    As we wrap up today's excitement, keep an eye out for tomorrow's events. The DP World International League T20 cricket season is about to kick off, and the city is gearing up for more thrilling sports and cultural activities. Tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in Dubai.

    Until then, enjoy the sunshine, the shopping, and the spectacular events that make Dubai a city like no other
