Despacito live, comedy, alternative ladies’ nights, arts, film and a pool pass with wine included…

This week there really is something for everyone.

Kicking things off, Luis Fonsi (of Despacito fame) is live in Dubai on Sunday, there’s comedy and a new ladies’ night at a trampoline park on Monday, and a talk on contemporary art and festive markets to head to on Tuesday. By Wednesday, we’ve got a great new pool deal for the girls, and Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) makes its return.

Here are eight things to do in Dubai this week…

Sunday December 3

1. Sing Despacito with Luis Fonsi

We’re not entirely sure of the words, but that won’t stop us trying to sing along
