With the upcoming Emirati Women’s Day on August 28th offering a chance to slow down and enjoy a long weekend in Dubai, there are plenty of ways to make the most of the break, from seasonal dining and refreshing drinks to thoughtful flowers and a little self-care.
See Life in Pink at Coffeemania
Mark Emirati Women’s Day with a visit to Coffeemania, which is launching two limited-edition creations especially for the occasion on August 28th.
The Pink Éclair puts an elegant spin on the French classic, with Bourbon vanilla custard cream, a soft pink glaze and delicate hand-piped sugar blossoms. Alongside it, the Strawberry Matcha combines ceremonial-grade matcha, lactose-free milk and smooth strawberry purée for a refreshing, beautifully layered drink.
Created as a subtle tribute to Emirati women, the pink-themed pairing will be available for one month from August 28, giving guests plenty of time to enjoy it beyond the long weekend.
Where: Coffeemania, Dubai
When: From August 28 for one month
