Your next night out, sorted…

The Dubai brunch has evolved somewhat, since first arriving as a free-flowing Friday extravaganza. The big weekend soiree is now on a Saturday, to align with the UAE weekend, but you can also brunch on Sunday, and even through the week thanks to a string of evening brunches in Dubai.

And if you’re looking for a new one to try, bookmark these brand new evening brunches for your mid-week nights out.
