Three openings, one weekend.
A Creek strip back for its third winter, a Michelin-starred chef cooking in DIFC for six days, and an outdoor cinema screen at One Central. Two start on Friday and one on Saturday.
Three placesChecked 29 October 2026Prices in AED
Three things open this weekend, and they suit three different evenings. Marsa Boulevard returns to the Creek on Friday with new restaurants and a Loewe pop-up, and needs no booking at all. Michael Mina takes over his own brasserie at the Four Seasons in DIFC from Friday to Wednesday. On Saturday and Sunday, Cinema Akil's outdoor screen at 25hours One Central opens again for the Halloween weekend.
Only the cinema has a fixed ticket price. Michael Mina's dishes sit alongside the regular menu, and Marsa Boulevard costs nothing to walk into.
Hours and prices change. Check with the venue before you go.
