If you love all things jewellery and luxe, then you must make a trip to Les Salons Dubai Opera for Van Cleef & Arpels’ Blooming Garden patrimonial exhibition. Open till November 24, 2025, this exhibition brings together 38 floral creations and 10 archival documents that illustrate the Maison’s enduring dialogue with nature.

To Watch

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle

For anime fans, this movie might be a no-brainer. But for those who aren’t, we’d recommend this for its heart-wrenching storytelling and incredible action sequences. 

BLACKBIRD

For the weekend, Cinema Akil presents BLACKBIRD, a three-day film festival exploring Black memory, voice, and legacy. The three films screening will be Malcolm X, Akeelah and the Bee, and the award-winning documentary Memories of Love Returned. There will also be filmmaker Q&As, lectures, and other discussions that facilitate in-depth conversations beyond the movies.
