6 of the best things to do in Dubai this week

A new exhibition, a way to give back and unlimited sushi…

Welcome to the start of a brand new week. There’s plenty happening across Dubai, from new art exhibitions, afternoon tea and more. Have a great week.

Here’s six things to do in Dubai this week. 

Sunday September 13

1. Check out a new exhibition

Opera gallery

Titled ‘Summer Mix’, a new exhibition at Opera Gallery features creations from emerging and highly recognised international contemporary artists. Standouts are the metal sculptors created by Xavier Mascaro, an artist hailing from Spain. Though a graduate in painting, Mascaro shifted his focus to sculptures progressing slowly from using bronze and tin as his medium to iron. His work focuses largely on motifs, depictions of animals, armours and more.

Opera Gallery Dubai, DIFC, Gate Village Building 3, Dubai, open Sun to Wed 10am to 10pm, Thur 10am to midnight, Fri 2pm to 9pm and Sat 11am to 9pm. Tel: (04) 323 0909. operagallery.com
