About
The Dubai Radar is an independent digital guide to everything happening across Dubai, covering the city's most relevant news, events, openings, food, business, culture and experiences.
What the Radar is for
Dubai moves quickly. New places open every week, rules change, roads close, and the best things happening are easy to miss. The Radar scans the city continuously and answers one question: what do I need or want to know about Dubai right now?
It is built for people who live here: residents, professionals, families and long-term visitors who want useful, well-chosen information rather than hype.
How we choose
Everything on the Radar is curated. We prefer primary sources: official announcements, organisers, the businesses themselves and our own visits. When a story originates elsewhere we say so and link to it. We don't publish ratings or reviews, and we don't present paid placements as recommendations. See our editorial standards.
The three things to know
The 7AM Radar is a morning briefing: seven things worth knowing before your day starts. Weekend Radar lands every Thursday with the best of the coming weekend. New on the Radar is the running feed of openings worth knowing. Subscribe.
