Things To Do This Week: The Mirdif Motor Show:, A Burger Championship, And A Stingray Judging Your Yoga
Morning! January is back at work, back in the gym, back to pretending you went to bed early, yet Dubai is already trying to tempt you out. This week’s lineup covers the full spread: rooftop motors at City Centre Mirdif, burger championships and bragging rights at Media City, big orchestra nights at Zabeel Theatre, plus kid friendly energy burners for the weekend. Pick one main plan, add a smaller one, and call it balance.

This one lands nicely between car fans and people who just like seeing ridiculous machines up close. City Centre Mirdif takes over the rooftop with standout cars and bikes, showcases, and enough going on to keep kids entertained while you do a slow lap pretending you know what you’re looking at. It’s part of DSF Auto Season, so it feels like a full day out without needing a late finish.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP
🍽️ - Planet Terra: Organic Vegan Comfort Food In The Greens
📍 - Panorama Building, The Greens
🕒 - Daily 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM
📷 - @planetterradubai
📞 - +971 54 58 33 330 | +971 4 578 2000
Planet Terra is the rare cafe that nails three things at once: food that feels like a treat, ingredients you can feel great about, and a space that slows you down without making it a performance.
Everything is organic, vegan, and made fresh daily, with proper meals plus lighter bits. Go Big Breakfast with tofu scramble and tempeh, then circle back for Mushroom Shawarma, Lasagna, or Tofish and Chips when comfort food calls. Dessert is not an afterthought either, with Chocolate Molten Cake and Terramisu doing serious work. Bonus points for the pet friendly terrace.
A plant-based shawarma like no other — smoky mushrooms, rich tahini, almond yogurt, and garlic mayo come together in one hearty, wholesome wrap.
ACTIVITY ALLEY
👧 - Sky Zone Dubai: Trampolines, Dodgeball, And Kids Who Sleep Early For Once
📍 - Ibn Battuta Mall
📅 - Check venue hours and calendar
🎟️ - See Price and Promos
📷 - @skyzoneuae
Sky Zone is the indoor plan that solves two problems at once: kids need to burn energy, and you need them to stop climbing the furniture at home. Wall to wall trampolines handle the freestyle jumping, Skyslam lets them live out their dunking dreams, and trampoline dodgeball turns into the kind of competition they will talk about all week.
Sky Warrior is the bonus for parents who want something a bit more structured, with instructor led classes that teach skills rather than pure running about.
FRESH EXPERIENCES
💫 - ShuiQi Underwater Yoga And Sound Healing At Atlantis The Palm
📍 - Atlantis The Palm, The Lost Chambers Aquarium
📅 - Wed and Fri | ⏰ 8:00 AM to 8:45 AM | Sound Healing Meditation
📅 - Sat and Sun | ⏰ 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM | Underwater Yoga
🎟️ - AED 175
☎️ - +971 4 426 2666
📷 - @atlantisthepalm
This is the calm flex. You’re doing yoga or sound healing with 65,000 marine animals watching you try to hold it together in slow motion. Classes are small, max 15, and the session is built for all levels, so nobody’s judging your balance apart from a passing stingray. Best bit, you get complimentary access to The Lost Chambers Aquarium after your session, so you can wander off feeling zen and slightly superior.
