Looking to mix up your usual ladies’ night circuit without having to fork out for a cab to take you half way across the city between bars? Then let us introduce you to a new dine-around ladies’ night at The Pointe.
Six of the restaurants at the new Palm Jumeirah destination have teamed up for a fun new ladies’ night that best of all, takes place every Thursday.
From 7pm to 11pm, ladies can enjoy four complimentary drinks at street food hall Asian District, seafood restaurant Seafood Kitchen, European bistro Fitzroy, funky Mexican joint La Palapa and Asian restaurants Mama Pho and Fat Chow.

But it’s not just about drinks. Ladies can also avail a 25 per cent discount at any of the participating restaurants too. So whether you’re fancying Asian sharing plates, freshly caught seafood or some traditional European dishes, you and your squad will be covered.
It’s a limited-time ladies’ night, so you’ll need to book in a girls night before April 30 to avail the deal.
Elsewhere at The Pointe, there are plenty of other ladies’ night deals to be had if you head down on a Wednesday.
At Palmetto restaurant and cafe, ladies can enjoy free drinks from 8pm to 11pm and 30 per cent off the food bill, while per Te, the Italian-inspired spot offers ladies 5 complimentary house beverages from 9pm to midnight on Wednesday too.

Your DXB airport experience just got amped up a notch as Dubai International Airport is set to become the world’s first airport to host resident DJs.
As part of its MusicDXB platform, Dubai Airport is partnering up with the What’s On Nightlife Award-winning DJ duo Hollaphonic, who will take up a monthly residency at the airport.
You’ll be able to catch the DJ duo doing their first set at DXB this weekend from 12pm to 2pm on Thursday April 4 and Saturday April 6, and the same again next weekend.
So, where will you see them spin?
Well, according to Gulf News, decks have been set up at different points within the airport, and the duo will change where they play depending on which part of the airport is busiest at the time.
“The programme venue will flex week by week on the basis of traffic and seasonality,” confirmed Matt Horobin, Brand Director at Dubai Airports.
Hollaphonic, made up of Greg Stainer and Olly Wood, will also be in charge of bringing in other international and local artists to DXB, to present free monthly concerts for those travelling through.

“Music influences our mood and even more so when we travel,” said Olly Wood of the announcement. “Right now, on average one in five people are walking around the airport with headphones on… so partnering with DXB seemed as natural as Mariah hitting a high note.”

Possibly not putting himself in line to win one of DTCM's 2009 Excellence in Journalism awards, Yusuf Abdulla tells it like it is:
"There is also another side to Dubai’s booming market. Most large hotels are little more than dens of prostitution. Hotels are permitted to issue guest permits to bring people from outside. In order to attract customers, many hotels bring girls from Central Asia, Russia, Romania and Western Europe. These girls are provided free accommodation in the hotel for three months while they are expected to service hotel guests. Each hotel has a club where girls enter for free while men must pay 100 dirhams. Alcohol is available and consumed in large quantities. Customers come to these clubs to pick up foreign girls. It has been pointed out to the authorities in Dubai that they are sitting on a time bomb. Girls with such loose moral character are likely to be infected with the AIDS virus. There are already reports of AIDS spreading among the local population because of the behavior of emirati men who then infect their wives."
Interesting how the "girls" are the ones accused of "loose moral character". Not the pimps and slavers that traffic them to Dubai. Nor the hotels who act as brothelmasters. Nor their clients. Or even the unnamed people who "expect" them to provide this service.
An interesting choice of nationalities too. Along with Russia and the CIS: Eastern Europe, Morocco, Africa and China would be more like it.
