This Weekend: March 20–22, 2026

SCNE's full launch in Dubai is in November 2026. In the app you'll find events, places and things to do across Dubai, and the in-app concierge answers questions such as what's on this weekend.

Until then, here's what's worth checking out this weekend.

Friday Brunches

Friday brunch is the centrepiece of the Dubai weekend. Here are this week's highlights:

• Bla Bla Dubai — The beach club brunch that extends into a pool party. Book early, this sells out.
• Coya DIFC — Peruvian brunch for those who want exceptional food over party vibes.
• Bubbalicious at The Westin — Best value brunch in the city. Massive spread, solid drinks packages.
• Miss Toro — Latin energy, incredible food, and one of the hottest new brunches in town.
