Looking for something different to do this Halloween in Dubai? Skip the haunted houses and head to Rove Downtown on Friday, November 1, where Rove Hotels and Hobby Nation are joining forces once again for Geek Community Day Vol 3.

The event is back for a third time running following last year’s success. Over 1,000 fans came together for the second edition, and this year its going to draw in more fans (and their friends). The best news? Entry is absolutely free but you need to register here. It takes place from 12pm to 10pm – that’s a whole day of fun.
