Stars ‘N’ Bars, Yas Island, (02 565 0101).

Dress to impress: Ditch watching Project Runway reruns at home for the real thing at Chic Lady Al Ain, a women’s beauty expo with a fashion show showcasing the work of local and international designers. Today’s the last day.

Try a new cafe: Tucked between dozens of textile shops, Milky Way is a cool new cafe on a corner behind the Russian Embassy. Design your own salad or opt to make a bespoke dessert such as crème brûlée with crushed pistachios on top.
