Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Dubai! It’s Thursday, November 20, 2025, and your high-energy sports fanatic Oly Bennet is here to turbo-charge your day in one of the world’s most dazzling cities. The Dubai vibe this morning? Utterly perfect. We’re basking in those glorious late-November temperatures—think sun-kissed days, balmy evenings, and just a whiff of desert mystery floating through the skyline. Street cafés are blooming with laughter, and you can feel the pulse of excitement as the city gears up for an epic weekend of world-class events.

Now, brace yourselves, because Dubai's calendar is rollicking with entertainment. Kicking off tonight, iconic rock legends Deep Purple are live at Coca-Cola Arena—this gig is hotter than a camel’s barbecue and promises riffs that’ll rattle the Burj Khalifa. If you’re more about energetic family fun, head to Creek Park, where the Fontana Water Circus is splashing into town with acrobatics and dancing fountains—a feast for the eyes and soul. For automotive enthusiasts, the fifth edition of Icons of Porsche revs into Dubai Design District, delivering a spectacle of rare cars, vibrant art, and pure petrolhead magic. Next, film buffs won’t want to miss the glittering Five Star Film Awards, a cinematic celebration uniting global storytellers at one stylish Dubai venue. And if you’re in the mood for sonic adventure, DJ Carlita brings boho beats to Be Beach for a night of dancing under the stars that’ll have even the sand dunes shimmying according to Platinumlist.

Hang tight, because there’s plenty happening on the city scene! Fresh on the culinary radar, Arabian Tea House Restaurant in Al Fahidi is winning rave reviews with its Emirati comfort classics and heritage-chic setting—karak tea and luqaimat just might change your life. On the move? Dubai’s public transport is humming, but keep an eye out for late-evening road closures around Dubai Design District thanks to the Icons of Porsche event. Shoppers, City Centre Mirdif is launching a week-long pre-National Day showcase, featuring local talent and cultural pop-ups perfect for soaking up Emirati vibes before the big festivities begin.

If you’re seeking must-do experiences today, hit the Dubai Marina promenade at sunset for a walk, yacht cruise, or sparkling city views that’ll have your Instagram begging for mercy. Dive into the culinary melting pot with a brunch at Boomah Café and don’t miss the local parks—Creek Park guarantees family picnics and bike rides under leafy canopies. Feeling adventurous? Strap on your sneakers for the Dubai Fitness Challenge and join pop-up workouts citywide. And for festival fiends, the WHS House Music Festival launches tonight—grab those near-sold-out passes for a weekend of pure groove.

Here's a local tip: If you want to score that “secret” sunset, slip over to Jumeirah Beach just before evening prayers. It’s quieter, the light’s 24-carat gold, and you might just catch a friendly game of sand cricket—a Dubai classic that turns even the shyest visitor into a sporting superstar.

Tease your tastebuds for tomorrow—Dubai is ramping up to the untold madness of the UNTOLD Festival at Expo City, the DP World Tour golf finale, and the first blasts of Union Day holiday magic with citywide fireworks. So, whether you’re here for quirky competitions, savoir-faire festivals, or just chasing the sunlight, Dubai keeps serving up surprises with every heartbeat.
