These are sure to put a huge smile on your mum’s face…

Mother’s Day is just around the corner (Sunday, March 19 for the UK and Tuesday, March 21 for UAE) and if you’re still looking for ways to treat your mum, look no further…

Whether your mum is a foodie, creative, party animal, or in need of some pampering – we have you covered.

Here are 12 things to do in Dubai this Mother’s Day: 

Get creative with a paint and grape class

we love art

Instead of buying your mum flowers this Mother’s Day, why not get creative together or treat her to something she’ll be able to treasure forever? On Tuesday, March 21, join in this one-of-a-kind guided art class at One Life where you can create your own masterpiece under the theme of flowers or Maxime with Flowers. For Dhs340, you’ll get two glasses of wine or three non-alcoholic drinks plus a pre-sketched canvas and canapes, two hours of teaching, and all of the equipment provided.
