Aquaventure After Dark, Real Madrid in Dubai and free yoga: Your mid-week plans

This week, Dubai offers several opportunities for entertainment and relaxation. The Aquaventure After Dark event returns to the waterpark on Friday, 9 October, transforming the park into an evening venue with three distinct areas. Tickets start at Dh310 for standard admission. Later that week, Dubai Basketball welcomes Real Madrid for a EuroLeague match at Coca-Cola Arena on Thursday, 24 September, with doors opening 90 minutes before tip-off at 8pm.

For those needing a break from indoor activities, a free open-air yoga session is held every last Wednesday of the month at The Gate in DIFC. The practice concludes with reflection and setting intentions. The session starts at 7pm on Wednesday, 30 September.

If a mid-week escape is desired, Hatta Fort Hotel offers a day pass valid until the end of September. The pass includes access to swimming pools, recreation facilities, and poolside dining or indoor restaurants. Additional activities like padel, archery, and horse riding can be added for an extra fee. The pass price is Dh100 per person and can be redeemed on food and drinks.

Professionals, creatives, and digital nomads can find a suitable work environment at The H Dubai. The venue provides four workday packages, ranging from Dh75 for a basic co-working space to Dh300 for a private guestroom office. Each package includes high-speed Wi-Fi and unlimited tea and coffee. The packages end on September 30th, after which a daily afternoon tea service is available at the Gallery Lounge.
