10 things to do this week in Dubai

Nights out
Masti
If regular happy hour is a post-work five-a-side, then this happy hour is the Premier League. Not just one night a week – and not just bound to weekdays when you’ve the dread of early mornings hanging over you – the new Masti happy runs five days a week. From Wednesday through to Sunday, guests can enjoy two for one on a range of drinks and 15 percent off bar bites for three whole hours. The evening is titled The Elephant Trunk, though we’re not sure what else that entails other than electronica vibes from the DJ.
