Thursday: Watch a film with the family
Cinemas in Abu Dhabi are reopening to the public and VOX Cinemas across the city are already back and showing films. A number of safety procedures and precautions are in place to keep all moviegoers safe when they visit including a maximum capacity of 30 percent, sanitisation of seats between showings, no more physical tickets and more. Inside the theatres, social distancing will be observed, moviegoers will be expected to wear masks at all times. Excited to go to the movies? Keep your eyes peeled to Time Out Abu Dhabi for the latest reviews and releases coming to a cinema near you.
Friday: Enjoy a meal with no phones in sight
The Time Well Spent campaign, launched by the Early Childhood Authority in Abu Dhabi, will see screen-free zones established in some of the city’s most popular restaurants. Diners can chose to participate in the experiment and deposit their phone in a pouch when arriving at the restaurant if they want to try it out. In case of emergencies you can remove your phone from the pouch but you’re asked to step away from the table to use it. After your meal, you can give feedback to help to campaign develop and post a picture on social media using the hashtag #TimeWellSpent (you’ll need your phone back for this part). Participating restaurants in Abu Dhabi backing the campaign include Third Place Café, Sanderson’s, Jones the Grocer and No. FiftySeven Boutique Café. More information is available at each of the venues and by visiting https://eca.gov.ae.

Here’s where you can get free kids meals in Abu Dhabi this month.
