6 things to do in Abu Dhabi this weekend
Kick off the weekend relaxing with a movie by the beach, with a tipple in a choice of happy hours or dancing the night away to progressive house beats with Dannic. And as if that’s not enough already to keep you going, how about getting a bit arty, taking in some culture at the Qasr Al Hosn festival or even joining a distinctly different ‘collective site specific performance’?

For those looking to wind down from the week and start the weekend slowly, kick back and relax on the beach in comfort with James Bond. Everything you need is catered for with plenty of parking, blankets to keep you warm, popcorn, ice cream and a large menu to choose from. Best of all, entry is free.
