Five Things to Do in Dubai Today!

You know how it is. Some mornings you leap out of bed like a startled horse, and other times you just can’t find anything fun to entice you out of your slumber. If you have no plan and nothing to do, you can easily become bored, unfocused, and really lazy. So, acting purely out of public spirit, let us help you fill the long hours of daylight…

Here’s five fun things to do today:

1. Loaf about by the pool
Obvious, excellent, and if you tan well, there are tangible benefits to this. You might need to pop to a Virgin Megastore and pick up a good book – we have lots, from thought-provoking comedy fiction  to literature from the Middle East – otherwise this might be a bit light on adventure or excitement. Or not, depends which pool you’re lounging beside. The infinity pool at the Address looks fairly uneventful, but I’ve heard the Hilton pool sees all manner of hi-jinks. Only last week a surly German slipped in some sun-cream and hilariously slid into the deep end…

2. Watch the Malaysian Grand Prix in one of our many sports bars.
The season got off to a great start last weekend (i.e. my favourite driver won, and starts today’s race on the front-row of the grid too) so why not follow all the action? And why not pick up one of our guides too? Go on. Vroooooom! Vrooooooooooom!

3. Change Your Whole Life Using the Positive Power of the Universe
Check out the new book from worldwide bestselling author Rhonda ‘The Secret’  Byrne, and leverage the ancient forces of the cosmos (or something) – Who knows, there could be something to it, after all.

4. Win a Free Book!
In our easy-to-enter competition to win a free copy of the latest Young Adult sensation Starters by Lissa Price.

5. Learn All There is to Know About Being a Woman
