Dubai: Making every minute scintillating and exciting for residents and tourists alike, Dubai Calendar, as part of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, has announced a Super Week. The week, beginning from March 14, will have a line-up of international events for everyone to enjoy.
In the next one week, Dubai Calendar will host a diverse array of events catering to theatre fanatics, foodies and art-and-culture enthusiasts. Working closely with city stakeholders to develop and facilitate the week-long itinerary, Dubai Calendar has lined up an unmissable roster of world-class entertainment, while being sensitive to the health and safety of all its guests. Little wonder that the emirate was awarded the No 1 spot on the global list of Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards for being the Best Global Destination, which bears testament to the high quality of services, safety standards and diverse offerings in the city.
Here is a quick look at the events on offer at Dubai Super Week:
