Stop Saving Everything For The Weekend: Dubai’s Best Midweek Plans
Dubai has a habit of saving everything for Thursday and Friday. These home-grown spots across the city are making a strong case for going out on a Tuesday, a Wednesday, or any day that isn’t the weekend.
Sal’s Sushi Bar, Palm Jumeirah Mall
Every Wednesday: unlimited sushi for AED 195. That’s it. That’s the plan. Book ahead because this one fills up fast.
