3 things to do today in Abu Dhabi

Get set, glow – to Aloft or go to Havana

Things to do on April 11:

Get set, glow – to Aloft: Aloft is pool-party central. Tonight, head to its Immaculate Touch Glow-3D UV paint party. There will be people on stilts, prizes, glow sticks and, of course, swimming.
Dhs100 for men, women free. Aloft Hotel Abu Dhabi, Khaleej Al Arabi Street (02 654 5000).

Go to Havana: Join the Cuban night at Stars ’N’Bars, where for one night only you can have ‘A Night In Havana’. There will be salsa dancers, a dance workshop, a complimentary Cuban beverage for everyone and an open salsa workshop. You’ll be grooving to those Havana beats in no time. Grab some dinner while you’re there, too – it’s the finest of Fidel Castro-nomy. Book your spot, it’s bound to get busy.

Celebrate Sri Lankan culture: Jig your way to Le Meridien Abu Dhabi today for its Get Sri Lankan’ed festival. It’s a great way to experience Sri Lankan culture, heritage and cuisine: as well as folk dances, traditional games and a live Calypso band, affordable food stalls will sell egg rolls, festive sweets, fish buns and cutlets. Kids can get their faces painted and go on a bouncy castle.
