We’ve never heard of any collabs featuring sushi going wrong, and we’re sure you haven’t, either. On that note, Al Qana’s Sushi Art and Michelin-starred chef Gregoire Berger have joined hands to bust out a special, limited-edition Omakase-style menu inspired by tradition, creativity, and connection. Enjoy all eight courses beginning Tuesday.

Arriving in the capital after tasting much success in Dubai is Madcat Comedy, where we’re told the “best comedians based out of the UAE unload their most biting material.” The show features a lineup of multilingual, multicultural comics that’ve made the brand stand out as a favourite.
