A lot of interesting events are set to be held across the UAE this weekend. We select some of the best events to make it an exciting week for you. Here are our pick of events to check out this weekend.
Your luxury show
Who here doesn't like luxury for summer? Well, you are going to love this. The Numaish Summer Show is going to bring together a host of designers including Farah Sanjana, Priyanka Khemka and Urvashi Kaur for the women, as well as jewellery and accessories, a smattering of kids' and men's wear and home décor retailers. It really is an all-encompassing show taking place under one roof from 11am-9pm, on Friday and Saturday at the Conrad Hotel, Dubai. We're going to get styled by Anavila, Upasana and Rahul N Anushka.
When: April 28-29
Where: Conrad Hotel, Dubai
A super Weekend
Movies, music and more will be on offer at the Dubai Creek Harbour Promenade this weekend, starting from tonight. RiseDCH will be jam-packed with free family entertainment also including immersive technology and tasty treats. This week's free movie screenings have a superhero theme, with the 1978 classic Superman the Movie - a firm favourite round these parts. Fly on down for more activities.
When: April 27-29

Keep calm, peeps
It's not every shop that can command such attention by opening its doors, but then the Apple Store isn't just any old shop. The latest addition at Dubai Mall opens today. A space for the community to gather and be entertained, Apple Dubai Mall will also serve as a venue to watch the spectacular evening fountain shows and will host Apple's new global in-store experience, "Today at Apple".
Where: Dubai Mall
Eddie Izzard is in
Tickets may be difficult to come by at this point, but beg borrow or cadge one if you can because Eddie Izzard is one of Britain's finest stand ups. You may recognise him from films including Valkrie and Ocean's Twelve, but it's his internationally acclaimed comedy material, which makes him our top comic. He's at the World Trade Centre tonight and is sure to bring the house down with his wit. Try to make it.
When: April 27, 2017
Where: Dubai World Trade Centre
'Mai we come in?'
Thought Oktoberfest was the only Teutonic shindig in town? Well, the Germans are always up for a good party, and where there's a party, there's plenty of great food and drinks!
Maifest is the traditional German celebration that marks the arrival of spring and it is on at the Grand Hyatt Dubai for a fifth year running.
Cheers, oompah, Lederhosen and pretzels are the name of the game. Dance and sing along to the tunes of the Die Kirchdorfer band, flown in all the way from Munich.
Enjoy German favorites such as Kalbsbratwurst, Spargel, Erdbeerschnitte or Veal Schnitzel and the finest German beverages in the air-conditioned Maifest tent. On until May 6.
When: On until May 6
