BMXing, pizzas, and movies.
The weekend is nearly here and while you may be unloosening your ties and undoing your top button in anticipation of clocking off, have you thought about what you are doing?
Don’t worry because we have you covered at Yalla – Abu Dhabi Life. Whether you are a culture vulture, a gastronome or just a wanderer, we have an outing to suit your needs.
Abu Dhabi, here is your weekend sorted.
LET’S GET ACTIVE
Don’t become a couch potato this weekend. Get the heart and adrenaline pumping with a trip to Circuit X Parks. From putting your muscles to the test on the 50-feet climbing wall or overcoming your fear of heights on the 100 metre zipline to showing off your skills on a skateboard or performing a wheelie on a BMX bike, this facility will certainly upgrade your weekend’s entertainment levels. For more information visit Circuit X Parks
GETTING CULTURAL
Cultures vultures, grab your glasses and cardigans and raise your finger thoughtfully to your chins as Manarat Al Saadiyat is giving aesthetes and visitors an opportunity to explore ‘Khaleejiness’. The exhibition highlights the experiences of a new generation through photographs, installations and videos and poses the question on what it is to be Khaleeji. For more information visit Manarat Al Saadiyat
CHILD’S PLAY
National Geographic Ultimate Explorer
Take you kids on an adventure this weekend with a trip to the National Geographic Ultimate Explorer. The edutainment centre in The Galleria Al Maryah Island will see your kid travel to space, battle rapids and even control nature at the newly opened venue. And families who attend this weekend will be entered into a draw to win unlimited entry for an entire year. For more information call 052 403 7166
FEELING PECKISH
It’s the weekend so it is time to treat yourself to a slap-up meal (and not to mention no dishes to clean up later). Make your way to Mamsha Al Saaidyat and grab yourself a slice of delicious pizza from the newly opened Antonia while drinking in stunning views of Soul Beach and the Arabian Gulf (as well as a cheeky Italian mixed drink). For more information follow Antonia on its social media pages
DAY OUT
For those looking for a relaxing saunter and even a picnic, the glorious green surrounds of Umm Al Emarat Park is one place that should be on your radar. With pleasant walks throughout, a petting zoo and a number of cafes to have a coffee and a nibble, this place will make you forget about all the stress you had. And this weekend, you can even catch a flick with the return of Cinema in the Park this Friday (1 October). We’ll see you there. For more information visit Umm Al Emarat Park
And that is your weekend sorted in Abu Dhabi.
