Dubai is humming this week, so if you’re wondering what to do, let’s dive straight into the best ways to fill your days and nights in the city.
Kicking things off, music lovers are in for a treat at City Walk, where the Coca-Cola Arena is hosting RockStar Anirudh Live in Dubai according to the official Coca-Cola Arena event calendar. Expect a full-scale arena production, big-screen visuals, and a setlist packed with his biggest film hits and viral tracks, so if you’re into high-energy Indian pop and movie soundtracks, this is a must for your week.
Sports fans don’t get left out either. The same Coca-Cola Arena calendar lists Dubai Basketball taking on Borac Mozzart on January 12, bringing European club-level intensity right into the heart of the city. It’s a great excuse to grab some friends, cheer courtside, and feel that live-game rush instead of just streaming sports at home.
Content creators and social media enthusiasts have something big in town too. Dubai Eye reports that the 1 Billion Followers Summit, organised by the UAE Government Media Office under the theme “Content for Good,” is running across Emirates Towers, DIFC, and the Museum of the Future, bringing more than 15,000 creators and over 500 speakers together. If you’re into TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, or building a personal brand, this is the week to soak up ideas, hear global influencers speak, and maybe even network your way into your next collaboration.
If shopping and citywide offers are more your vibe, Dubai Calendar from the Department of Economy and Tourism highlights that January is packed with retail activations across the city, with promotions and experiences running in malls and districts until the middle of the month. It’s a good time to pair your event plans with some sale hunting and dining deals.
For those thinking ahead to the weekend, Soigne Middle East suggests heading to Topgolf Dubai at Emirates Golf Club, where the venue is in full celebration mode with birthday promotions, interactive challenges, and surprise prizes – perfect if you want something social, active, and a little competitive without taking golf too seriously. They also flag a staycation in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve at Al Maha as a dreamy weekend option, with private villas, dune views, and guided wildlife experiences that make the cooler season really special.
Food-focused listeners can turn the week into a culinary tour. Soigne Middle East highlights Toshi at the Grand Millennium Hotel Dubai, which is running rotating themed nights: think handcrafted sushi on Tokyo Night, seafood feasts on Seafood Night, and rich curries on South Asian Night. It’s ideal if you want to book one dinner and feel like you’ve travelled across Asia without leaving the city.
And if you’re planning slightly beyond this week, Dubai Calendar also points to later-in-January highlights like Quoz Arts Fest at Alserkal Avenue, where live music, galleries, and food trucks will transform the creative district into a walkable arts playground, and a RÜFÜS DU SOL DJ set at Pacha Icons, FIVE LUXE JBR, listed on the Pacha Icons site for January 24, perfect for those who like their weekends with a late-night beach-club soundtrack.
However you plan it, this week in Dubai can be as loud, colourful, and energetic or as laid-back and scenic as you like, from arena concerts and basketball games to desert escapes, foodie nights, and Topgolf swings under the lights.
