Dubai’s first hotel cinema is now open in the Rove Downtown. A collab with Reel cinemas, the 46-seater space shows big-budget blockbusters, as well as indie regional movies. Included in the Dhs70 price is a soft drink and popcorn, as well as your movie ticket. The cinema is licensed and also has a food menu – so why not enjoy a cheeky cocktail or snack such as nachos or sliders with your film?
Reel Cinema, Rove Downtown, various timings, Dhs70. Tel: (04) 449 1903. reelcinemas.ae
Tuesday July 24
5. Check out a Middle Eastern exhibition
Whether it’s Syrian artist Tammam Azzam’s image of a bombed out building being carried into the sky by a bundle of balloons, or Lebanese talent Nadim Karam’s sculpture of a woman dreaming, each artwork in the exhibition represents a notion of utopia. The word literally translates as ‘no place’, existing only as an unreachable state of perfection. Yet ;no place’ is exactly how this generation feels about the idea of belonging. This exhibition touches on cultural, social, and geo-political problems of contemporary Middle-Eastern artists.
Ayyam Gallery, Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz 1, until Sept 20, Sat to Thurs 10am to 6pm. Tel: (04) 323 6242. ayyamgallery.com
