Things to do this week: Dubai Home Festival, Andrew Schulz Live, and Ramen Worth Writing Home About!

Morning! Dubai is turning into one big showroom this week and your credit card is about to feel it. The Dubai Home Festival takes over with two full weeks of mega discounts, home makeovers, and enough décor inspiration to make your Pinterest board cry. Whether you’re upgrading your sofa or just pretending to, the city is going all in with up to 75% off at every major store worth its cushion covers.

And if you need a break from all the shopping, Deniz Göktaş brings the comedy, IGNITE Pink is Punk gets you up at sunrise, and SB19 are lighting up Coca-Cola Arena. It’s one of those weeks where Dubai has something for everyone, from shopaholics to fitness fanatics to those just looking for an excuse to get out!

Dubai Mall just got a whole lot slurpier. SLRP Ramen by 3Fils has opened its doors and it’s already buzzing with steaming ramen bowls, sizzling kushiyaki, and handrolls so crisp they practically snap back. Grab a seat, grab your chopsticks, and prepare for flavour mayhem. It’s bold, it’s loud, and it’s everything your lunch break didn’t know it needed.

Andrew Schulz and the Flagrant crew are bringing their no-filter comedy to Dubai Comedy Festival. This one-night special will see Schulz, Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon and AlexxMedia unleash the kind of raw, unapologetic humour that makes people laugh, gasp and question life choices. It’s sharp, fearless and outrageously funny. Come ready for chaos, and maybe a few jokes you shouldn’t repeat at work.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

Russell Peters is back where it all began. Six years after opening the Coca-Cola Arena with a sold-out show, the global comedy legend returns with his brand-new Relax World Tour. Expect sharp observations, fearless improvisation, and that trademark wit that cuts across cultures and generations. It’s funny, fast, and a little too relatable.

Tickets are already vanishing faster than punchlines at an open mic night, so grab yours before Dubai’s biggest laugh of the year sells out.
