The April issue is here and free to read now
For this month’s What’s On magazine, we’re chatting about why we love the UAE. The April issue is celebrating the people, the places and the everyday moments that make the UAE feel like home. Be inspired as the country’s trailblazers share their ‘why’, take a look at the places to find calm when things feel a little much and shop local with these homegrown brands. You can read the full magazine online for free.
This month, we’re showing you the outdoor spots to visit before the summer sun rises: the walks to get your steps in, the ‘it’ beach and pool clubs to visit, alfresco restaurants, watersports to get a thrill from, and even where to catch golden hour. You’ll also find our round-up of the must-do events in the UAE this April, plus our handpicked recommendations for how to do wellness your way this month.
We’re also talking dinosaurs, with a guide to the roar-some spots you need to visit. Legend chef Jonathan Colin opens up to us about his new taqueria, El Primo and the dishes you need to try when you go. Not forgetting foodie bits, we’re bringing you reviews of Barrafina Dubai, Nation Riviera Beach Club and new bistro Window. And because no issue is complete without a little travel inspiration, we shine a light on some of the mountain landscapes that are actually worth hiking.
Whether you’re plotting a weekend escape, hunting for your next dinner reservation, or simply looking for the places to eat breakfast outdoors, this issue is brimming with ideas to keep you inspired all month long.
