Welcome to “Things to Do in Dubai” for Saturday, July 19, 2025! The city is buzzing with excitement as the weekend kicks off, and you couldn’t have picked a better day to explore. After an eventful Friday that saw unexpected summer hailstorms bring rare relief from the desert heat, today Dubai is fresh, vibrant, and sparkling after the rains[8]. The air feels cleaner, so it’s a perfect day to get outside and enjoy the city’s endless offerings.
Here’s a quick look at some of the hottest events happening across Dubai today:
- Culture lovers can head to **Jameel Arts Centre** at Jaddaf Waterfront for “CoCreate: Where Art Meets the Soul,” running from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Dive into dynamic art scenes and connect with creative minds in a space designed to inspire[4].
- For families and adventurous spirits, experience Dubai’s *wildest indoor park*, **Loco Bear**, where over a dozen attractions—from virtual reality thrills to laser tag—promise nonstop excitement[3].
- Video game fans and thrill seekers alike shouldn’t miss the opening of **Chaos Karts**: a new attraction that mashes up go-karting and gaming for a one-of-a-kind adventure[3].
- If you’re in the market for prime real estate or just curious about the city’s growth, check out the **Dubai Property Expo** in Gurgaon today, offering opportunities for investment and golden visa insights[1].
- And for those interested in fintech and crypto, get ready for the upcoming **Wiki Finance Expo Dubai 2025**, which is drawing industry experts and innovators from all over the world[7].
Turning to local news, Dubai’s property sector continues breaking records, with real estate sales hitting over $41 billion in just the first half of 2025—proof that the city’s growth is unstoppable[5]. There’s also big news for commuters: a new **monthly parking pass now costs just 100 dirhams**, a major relief for students and teachers navigating the city by car[2]. And after yesterday’s rain, traffic authorities are reminding everyone to drive carefully and follow posted speed limits, especially with some roadworks and partial closures in place for safety improvements[2][8].
Planning out your day? Along with today’s featured events, here are must-do activities—essential whether you’re visiting or a longtime resident:
- **Explore the old and the new:** Take a sunset abra ride along the creek for classic Dubai views[9], or visit the **Coffee Museum** in Al Fahidi for a journey through coffee history and Arabic culture[6][9].
- **Go green:** Visit **Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary** to spot flamingos against the skyline—one of the city’s most unique wildlife experiences[6].
- **Indulge in luxury:** Head to Palm Jumeirah, where you can stroll The Pointe promenade or relax on quieter beaches like Al Ittihad Park Beach[9].
Local tip: Dubai’s summer can surprise you—yesterday proved it with real hail! Always check weather alerts before heading out, and carry a hat and water despite the occasional rain[8].
Fun fact: Dubai’s iconic **abra boats** have been ferrying residents across the creek for over a century, offering a truly historic way to see the city and costing just a few dirhams per ride[9].
Looking ahead to tomorrow, expect continued festivities and more summer surprises. New exhibitions, food pop-ups, and another round of outdoor concerts are set to light up Sunday night. Join us again for the inside scoop on the best things to do in Dubai!
