You didn’t hear this from me, but I’m writing this as I walk through Blossoms Park in Nad al Sheba, and I just came across a bunch of Neem trees covered in Neem Gum (natural resin). It’s known for its dental health and anti-microbial benefits. They’re on the running track if you want some fresh off the tree.

Here are your weekend plans, just before the blessed month of Ramadan!

P.S, I’m thinking of writing a Ramadan in Dubai guide. Post-taraweeh spots and suhoor hangouts. Reply with a “YES” if that interests you!

Gonuts & Wilder Burgers, Jumeirah

This place is new and looks great. Baked creative doughnuts (not fried), with a burger spot attached. Coffee, homemade cola, chicken nuggets, and lasagne croquettes are also available.

Nostalgia, Nad al Sheba Avenue Mall

Exceptional coffee and bright, spacious seating in Nad al Sheba Avenue Mall (which is an underrated mall!). You can park up outside for a quick takeaway cup, too.

Hewi, Nad al Sheba

This is the first of many mini-parks set to open across Dubai. You’ll find an on-site cafe, a shaded playground, water features, greenery, and space ro stroll.

Next time you place a Noon Minutes order, try this. Noon’s “Shot” coffees can be added to your order. The prices are great, and the coffee is surprisingly good. I suggest the cold brew with Ethiopian beans.
