As the weather warms and the UAE buzzes with energy, there’s no better time to explore all that is on offer. Start with our curated list of things to do in across the UAE this April, perfect for families, art lovers, and adventure seekers alike. One of the highlights this month is World Art Dubai, a vibrant celebration of creativity and cultural expression from around the globe. If you’re looking for family-friendly dining, we’ve rounded up restaurants where children can play while you unwind, a win for both parents and little ones. And for something sweet, don’t miss our ‘Ten to Try’ feature on the best bubble tea spots in the city. In this month’s Chef ’s Corner, meet Chef Rowell Doronila, who shares his culinary inspirations and unique approach to flavour. With exams around the corner, we’ve included a practical guide for students and parents to prepare effectively for summer assessments. Plus, learn about the benefits of exercising outdoors, with tips to stay active and safe in the sunshine. We also highlight a groundbreaking health innovation, the hPG80 blood test, which could aid in early cancer detection, a must-read for proactive well-being. Thinking about a vehicle upgrade? Our guide outlines what to know before buying a used car. And with rising temperatures, find out how to make your home more energy efficient this summer to cut costs and stay cool. Thrill-seekers can also dive into Dubai’s best water sports destinations for a dose of adrenaline. Finally, in this month’s Connector in Conversation, we speak with Muna Rahim, the creative mind behind CrACKLES, as she shares her inspiring journey and passion for food, storytelling, and community.
