DUBAI: Home to the iconic Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, Emaar’s Downtown Dubai has now unveiled ‘Downtown Eats’, a new concept that brings all good things together in celebration of the UAE National Day. The showcase includes outstanding food, cultural activities and an outdoor cinema.
To mark the UAE National Weekend, Downtown Eats will host a special showcase of outdoor screenings of Emirati films, including feature narratives and shorts, underlining Emirati film talent.
The National Weekend film festival will be held on Dec. 1 and 2 from 6pm to 12am, accompanied by live music from 4pm to 6pm. With comfy seating for the whole family, this is a not-to-be-missed event to celebrate the national pride under the starlight sky.
For those that fancy a more food centric experience, Downtown Eats features four of the cities favourite food outlets, including Dubai’s first German bratwurst grill, Smart Brat; Asian inspired sandwich shop, Hooked; healthy eatery, Boston Lane; and family friendly, Zaps Frings.
Further drawing on local inspiration, graffiti artist Fatspatrol from The Domino was commissioned by Emaar to create an artistic representation of the famed national bird of the UAE. Using spray paint in national flag colour tones, The Falcon is an impression piece of modern art. The mural, filmed in time-lapse over its five days of completion, comes to life in action footage, and enjoys a prime position on a prominent tower at Souk Al Bahar’s exterior.
An additional 2,000 parking spaces are available for anyone visiting Downtown Dubai located below Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in between Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Opera. News Desk
