A cookery class for the little ones, a Mexican ladies’ night and get a sneak peek inside the new Masterchef restaurant…

It’s busy as ever in Dubai this week, with some awesome things to do. From a creative kid’s cookery activity to chilled ladies’ nights and even a sneak-peek at the pre-launch of Masterchef’s hotly anticipated TV-to-plate restaurant in Dubai Marina, there’s heaps of fun stuff to fill your week with.

Here are 8 things to try in Dubai this week…

Sunday April 14

1. Kids create healthy snacks at Kidzania Dubai

Launching tonight at Dubai Mall, the first ever Fade Fit Kids Factory at Kidzania Dubai is a fun and interactive opportunity to teach children aged 4 to 16 about healthy snacking, with a 15-minute cooking class for them to make their own healthy treats made of dates, cocoa and cornflakes. This activity is included in the Kidzania ticket price, from Dhs75 for adults and Dhs185 for children.

Kidzania, The Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, weekdays 10am to 10pm, weekends 10am 11pm. dubai.kidzania.com

2. Load up on unlimited sushi

For those who love their sushi, it’s your last chance to take advantage of a tasty offer at Yo! Sushi. From Dhs139, you can feast on unlimited (yes, really) food from their entire menu with Sushi Sundays. Take your seat at the carousel and sample to your heart’s content. Beverages and fresh juices are also included, so it’s perfect for a chilled dining night out. You might want to skip lunch though…
