Can't brave the cooler temps this weekend? Stay indoors and head to your nearest cinema...

It's set to be the coldest weekend in the UAE of 2019 in the coming days - and there's a possibility of rain! - so we suggest you stay indoors, keep warm and toasty and head to the movies instead.

After all, there's some great films out at the box office right now; especially The Upside! We caught the premiere this week and as expected, it's funny, littered with laugh out loud one-liners and has an absolutely charming (and true) story... We warmly recommend!
