Dubai is buzzing this week, so if you’re in the city and wondering what to do, you’re in exactly the right place.

Let’s start with something magical happening tonight. According to Gulf News, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is hosting a free stargazing evening where Jupiter will be at its brightest and closest to Earth this year, a rare event known as opposition. From 6:30 to 9 pm, you can join astronomers on the library’s outdoor terrace, look through powerful telescopes, and actually see Jupiter’s colorful cloud bands and its four largest moons. There’s a short, family-friendly talk about space, plenty of time for questions, and no prior knowledge needed – just curiosity and a light jacket for the evening breeze.

If you’re more into music than moons, the Al Nojoom Ballroom on Sheikh Zayed Road is turning down the lights for a Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA concert, listed on Concerts50 and Fever. Picture a string quartet bathed in warm candlelight, playing live arrangements of anthems like Dancing Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody in an intimate setting. Early evening and later shows mean you can pair it with dinner at DIFC or City Walk, making a full night of it.

For those of you planning the rest of the week, keep an eye on the Dubai Autodrome as it gears up for the Michelin 24H Dubai endurance race next weekend, reported by Porsche Motorsport and the 24H Series. Practice and qualifying start from Friday, January 16, with teams from around the world testing GT3 and cup cars under the floodlights. Across the weekend, you can wander the grandstands, listen to the roar of the engines, and soak up that classic Dubai motorsport-meets-party atmosphere.

If you feel like a short road trip later in the week, The National reports that the Ras Al Khaimah Art 2026 Festival kicks off on January 16 at Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage Village, about an hour from Dubai. Expect contemporary art, live performances, outdoor film screenings, and pop-up dining from international chefs, all set among historic coral-stone houses. It’s a great way to escape the city for a day while still feeling very connected to the UAE’s culture.
