Dubai gets a free outdoor cinema series

Get ready to pack those picnic baskets and head for the hills — at least the Dubai Hills, for a free outdoor cinema experience.

The weekend series, which runs on February 23 between 2-10pm at the Dubai Hills Estate, will feature screenings of two family films: Ratatouille at 7pm and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at 8.30pm.

Other highlights include food stalls serving dishes inspired by movies, popcorn, live music and more.

The free-to-attend weekend series will continue on March 9, March 30 and April 13, with new themes planned each week.
