Listen to Jazz at Blind Tiger
Famed for its stunning opulent interiors, Blind Tiger at Jumeirah Al Naseem is hosting a new jazz night called Untamed Sessions. With speakeasy vibes and classic tracks, this perfectly accompanies their superb cocktail range – and we suggest some a la carte nibbles. Every Thursday from 9pm onwards.

Listen to Live Music and Sample a new Menu at Bar Du Port
We love Bar Du Port beyond measure (check out our recent review here) and we hear they’ve got a new scrumptious menu including black truffle linguine or salt-crusted sea bass, with views overlooking the crystal clear waters and live music plays in the background, every Tuesday from 5pm-2am.

Enjoy a new Taste at tashas
Delightful eatery tashas is introducing a new menu to their chain of sophisticated cafes. Guests can expect new and unique dishes such as the Oriental Omelette with stir-fried vegetables julienne, feta, and herbs, or the Salmon Rosti with smoked salmon, lumpfish roe and lemon vinaigrette. There’s also light bites including salads, tomato pasta, and for sweet tooths we recommend the gluten-free Malva Pudding with apricots and caramel sauce, or the Citrus Panna Cotta with orange jelly and lemon sorbet (we are drooling).
Investigate a Murder Mystery at Paramount Hotel
Murder mystery evenings are back with a new show which is a sequel to the renowned ‘Dolls of the Gangster’ – but don’t worry if you didn’t see the first one, there’s oodles of fun and entertainment even for the uninitiated. The dinner show package is AED 299 for soft drinks and AED 380 for house beverages or AED 550 with bubbles, every Thursday from 8pm-11pm.
