The concept store curates a distinctive mix of vintage and artisanal pieces sourced from designers around the world, each chosen for its individuality and craftsmanship. Expect bold silhouettes, bright colours, unique details and one-of-a-kind finds that instantly elevate even the simplest outfit. *Visit* [MAUZ.SHOP.COM](https://mauz.shop/) ## The New Floral Studio ### UrArtU UrArtU Gallery’s new flower studio at Alserkal Avenue has set a new standard for floristry in the region, serving as both a boutique and an immersive spatial experience. Designed by Crosby Studios under the direction of Harry Nuriev, the 220-square-metre space blends contemporary art, architecture and storytelling, turning blooms into architectural gestures rather than simple decoration. Gurgen Yeritsyan, founder and creative director of UrArtU Gallery, wanted the studio to double as a gallery and a multi-purpose venue for exhibitions, workshops, and pop-ups. Italian marble detailing and reflective aluminium finishes give the space its look. There’s a dramatic six-metre-high aluminium orchid sculpture that hangs from the ceiling as the centrepiece, and a red-lit walk-in fridge also adds a striking focal point. A dedicated coffee area and upstairs programming space round off the experience. *Visit* [URARTUGALLERY.COM](https://urartugallery.com/) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.me/BdIGM36shVIPAClkls7ThsVf5e0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F01%2Fwhat-to-see-watch-and-do-in-the-region-1_0.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/urartu__flowers) @Urartu__Flowers | @Urartu__Gallery ## The New Event ### Dubai Mall Festival Of Fashion Dubai Mall is launching its first-ever Festival of Fashion on 29th and 30th January, transforming the city’s most visited retail destination into a hub of style, creativity and cultural expression.

Made with Japanese wagyu trimmings, slow-cooked into a deeply rich, umami-packed Italian-style ragù, the dish was initially conceived as lasagna before the chefs reimagined its best element – the caramelised edges – as gyoza. Grilled on the plancha for a crisp base while keeping the filling indulgently soft, each bite is finished with a creamy, peppery Cacio e Pepe dip that perfectly balances the richness. *Visit* [KIRA-RESTAURANT.COM](https://kira-restaurant.com/kira/) ## The Open-Air Art Celebration ### The Sikka Art & Design Festival Launched by the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice Chairman of Dubai Culture, the Sikka Art & Design Festival 2026 returns from 23rd January to 1st February in the historic Al Shindagha Neighbourhood, reaffirming its place as one of the city’s most loved cultural events.

Designed by Dubai-based studio VERHAAL, the space feels like a perfectly curated interior paradise, an immersive yet refined use of saturated colour, sculptural lighting and tactile textures that shift from soft and inviting by day to theatrical and intimate by night. This visual philosophy also extends to the menu, where dishes are designed to engage all the senses, from the hot dog topped with caviar to the beef tartare with chips and the delicately layered hojicha opera cake. *Follow* [@ITSALLOTHER](https://www.instagram.com/itsallother/) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ## We think you might like ![9 Last-Minute Wellness Plans Worth Booking This Eid](https://media.sheerluxe.me/cP_2vEM-DJKymxQ9Q8x4FyK4y1Q=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-260526-site-assets-wellness-escapes-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 26 May 2026 [## 9 Last-Minute Wellness Plans Worth Booking This Eid ](/culture/whats-on/9-last-minute-wellness-plans-worth-booking-this-eid) ![What To See, Watch & Do In Saudi](https://media.sheerluxe.me/yKwi0qhlWyoVwOrng2nGXVlMqQU=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-190526-site-assets-unmissable-events-hero-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 19 May 2026 [## What To See, Watch & Do In Saudi ](/culture/whats-on/things-to-do-in-saudi) ![14 Regional Artists To Know Ahead Of Art Dubai](https://media.sheerluxe.me/OO9xoSqNtDEoHuaFBgGJ8_gCKZU=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-120526-site-assets-the-regional-artists-to-have-on-your-radar-this-art-dubai-hero-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 12 May 2026 [## 14 Regional Artists To Know Ahead Of Art Dubai ](/culture/whats-on/dubai-artists) [Skip to the rest of this article](#sidebar-bottom) ## We think you might like ![9 Last-Minute Wellness Plans Worth Booking This Eid](https://media.sheerluxe.me/cP_2vEM-DJKymxQ9Q8x4FyK4y1Q=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-260526-site-assets-wellness-escapes-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 26 May 2026 [## 9 Last-Minute Wellness Plans Worth Booking This Eid ](/culture/whats-on/9-last-minute-wellness-plans-worth-booking-this-eid) ![What To See, Watch & Do In Saudi](https://media.sheerluxe.me/yKwi0qhlWyoVwOrng2nGXVlMqQU=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-190526-site-assets-unmissable-events-hero-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 19 May 2026 [## What To See, Watch & Do In Saudi ](/culture/whats-on/things-to-do-in-saudi) ![14 Regional Artists To Know Ahead Of Art Dubai](https://media.sheerluxe.me/OO9xoSqNtDEoHuaFBgGJ8_gCKZU=/600x800/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe-me%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-me-120526-site-assets-the-regional-artists-to-have-on-your-radar-this-art-dubai-hero-thumb.jpg) [What's On](/culture/whats-on) / 12 May 2026 [## 14 Regional Artists To Know Ahead Of Art Dubai ](/culture/whats-on/dubai-artists) *more from* Culture [View All Culture](/culture) Share This Story [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.me%2Fculture%2Fwhats-on%2Fthings-to-do-in-dubai&t=What+To+See%2C+Watch+%26+Do+In+The+Region) [ Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.me%2Fculture%2Fwhats-on%2Fthings-to-do-in-dubai&description=What+To+See%2C+Watch+%26+Do+In+The+Region&media=) [ WhatsApp ](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=What+To+See%2C+Watch+%26+Do+In+The+Region+https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.me%2Fculture%2Fwhats-on%2Fthings-to-do-in-dubai) [ E-mail ]() DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.
