Welcome to “Things to do in Dubai” for Sunday, August 10, 2025! Whether you’re a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, get ready for a city buzzing with summer energy, international flavors, and celebrations all day long.
Dubai is kicking off this Sunday with classic August sunshine—expect temperatures in the high 30s Celsius and lots of blue skies. The city’s air quality is generally good, thanks to a light coastal breeze, so it’s a perfect day to get out and explore. The vibe is especially festive today with major community events and cultural spectacles taking center stage.
Let’s dive into the top events you shouldn’t miss today:
- Expo City is hosting “Jashn Azaadi Pakistan,” celebrating Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day. Over 60,000 guests are expected at this lively event, running from 11am to 11pm. Highlights include *cultural performances, exhibitions,* and live music from acclaimed artists like Sahir Ali Bagga and Natasha Baig. With extended Dubai Metro hours (service until 2am), extra parking, shuttle buses, and Careem ride discounts, it’s set to be easy and fun for everyone to attend[4][10].
- For real estate enthusiasts, the “Dubai Property Expo” is running until 7pm in Gurugram, connecting buyers to top Dubai developers and unique investment opportunities. Perfect if you’re dreaming about owning a slice of Dubai’s iconic skyline[1].
- When the sun sets, BLU Dubai nightclub comes alive for the “KINGDOM Official Afterparty” with South Africa’s smash-hit duo, 2woBunnies, taking over the stage. Expect a stylish crowd and electrifying vibes for nightlife lovers[7].
- Looking for a family-friendly adventure? Dubai Crocodile Park offers an up-close encounter with majestic Nile crocodiles—sure to thrill wildlife fans of all ages[9].
In today’s city news and announcements:
Dubai is seeing a wave of cultural engagement—over 3,600 new residents embraced Islam in the first half of 2025, highlighted by numerous educational programs and outreach initiatives designed to deepen understanding and community cohesion throughout the city[2]. On the lighter side, a recent court verdict made headlines after Dubai police thwarted a major multi-million dirham heist—safety and law enforcement remain top priorities here[8].
Exciting news for foodies: several top-tier restaurants are opening new branches around The Dubai Mall this month, and the city’s legendary brunch scene continues to expand. Metro riders, take note—RTA’s special extension of metro service tonight means late-night travels after big events are a breeze[4].
If you’re planning your activities for today, try this must-do mix:
- Take in panoramic views at the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, then visit the mesmerizing Dubai Fountain for a choreographed water show[3].
- Escape the heat at the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, or soak in the thrills of Aquaventure Waterpark’s record-breaking slides.
- Seek a unique adrenaline rush by ziplining across Dubai Marina, or step into the Museum of the Future for a glimpse at innovation and design[6].
Local tip: Most outdoor attractions are quietest just after opening or in the late evening. Stay hydrated, dress smart, and download the Dubai Metro app to keep public transport simple—especially tonight with those extended hours.
Fun fact for visitors: Dubai is home to the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool at AURA Skypool—perfect for photos and unbeatable views of Palm Jumeirah and the coastline[3].
Looking ahead to tomorrow, keep an eye out for art pop-ups in Alserkal Avenue, family storytelling at City Walk, and an exclusive jazz night downtown. Tune in next time for more on what’s happening around town! Have an extraordinary Sunday in Dubai!
