Things to do this father’s day in Dubai: 6 best activities, deals and staycations to treat dad
Steaks, golf and mountain escapes, here's your guide to the best father's day weekend
Dubai: Let’s be hones, Dad probably doesn’t want another patterned tie or a 'World’s Best Father' mug this year. What he actually wants is great food, a cold beverage, bragging rights in a golf simulator, or some quality time with his favorite people.
Lucky for you, Dubai is pulling out all the stops to make sure the father figures in our lives get the legendary weekend they deserve.
Whether your dad is a self-proclaimed steak connoisseur, a competitive athlete, or a crafty sentimentalist, here is your ultimate playbook for the perfect Father’s Day.
1. Father’s Day Special at Three Cuts
If your dad’s favorite hobby is standing over a barbecue giving unsolicited grilling advice, hand the tongs over to the professionals at Three Cuts. They are serving up a massive 500g Striploin steak cooked exactly to his liking. It comes complete with his choice of side, a killer sauce, and beverage of his choice to wash it all down.

Where: The Rooftop West, Palm Jumeirah Mall, Palm Jumeirah

2. Family Brunch at City Social
