3 things to do today in Abu Dhabi

Dance and eat dim sum or glam up for ladies’ night

Wednesday, October 16

Glam up for ladies’ night: With what will possibly be the most glamorous ladies’ night in Abu Dhabi, the Skylite rooftop lounge has introduced their brand new Fashion Wednesdays to brighten up your week. Shoe designer Manolo Blahnik will be backing the night, so expect sophistication and elegance, and the chance to win one of two Dhs2,000 vouchers to use at the store.
Skylite, Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi (02 656 0000).

Last chance to bid for Pink-tober: It’s the last day to get involved with Café Arabia’s silent auction – featuring a unique collaborative poem begun by Eyad Al Moraisi – so hurry in to do your part for Breast Cancer Arabia by bidding on some works by local artists. You might even bag a bargain!
Between Al Karama and Airport Road (02 643 9699).

Dance and eat dim sum: Every Wednesday is dim sum and DJ night at Li Jiang, where you can enjoy three varieties of dumplings for only Dhs50 and the beats of the Ritz-Carlton’s resident DJ Beta from 6.30pm until 9.30pm. Perfect for after-work socialising in the swankiest of venues, it’s good food and good fun!
