Another week, another very good reason to get out of the house. Whether you fancy trying something new, catching the football with friends, heading out for dinner or just treating yourself to something sweet, there’s plenty happening across Dubai. Here are the best things to do in Dubai this week. Piehaus is giving its signature phyllo a Korean twist with a little help from its Alserkal Avenue neighbour. The limited-edition Bulgogi Pie (Dhs75) takes inspiration from the twisted Korean doughnut kkwabaegi and comes packed with bulgogi-marinated beef, caramelised onions and shimeji mushrooms, topped with sesame seeds and served with a spicy mixed pickle on the side.
