Welcome, listeners, to Things to do in Dubai! It’s Sunday, October 5th, 2025, and you’ve picked the perfect day to catch the wild, the wonderful, and the downright weird side of this electric city. Your energetic globe-trotting host Oly Bennet here, fresh off a mountain of falafel and ready for adventure! Dubai is buzzing today—the air is toasty, the sun is grinning, and everyone’s got a spring in their step (must be the 30°C forecast or maybe just the caffeine levels).

Dubai’s got that classic, larger-than-life weekend vibe right now, with families strolling under cloudless skies and expats somehow pulling off ski jackets despite the desert heat. According to Emirati Times, the whole city is lighting up for World Teachers’ Day, so if you spot someone with chalk dust on their blazer, give them a high-five for shaping young minds and dodging flying erasers.

Let’s talk about what’s hot today! First off, if you’re a fan of foamy steins and lederhosen—or you simply love excuses to eat giant pretzels—the Oktoberfest celebration at Ernst Dubai is the real deal. There are Bavarian brews, a legendary stein-holding contest that will test your biceps, and yes, an epic Sunday roast for those who like their Oktoberfest with a side of gravy. Over at Iris Dubai, the brunch crowd’s in for live DJs and sunset terrace sessions, where the beats are as smooth as the cocktails and the art installations are as dazzling as Dubai’s skyline. Feeling artsy or seeking something cultural? Tomorrow at American University in Dubai, there’s a Peruvian Culture in Contemporary Design event featuring the internationally acclaimed designer Adolfo Gonzales Finseth—think flamboyant South American flair meets cutting-edge Dubai chic.

Not enough adrenaline? How about a cosmic show tonight—The Times of India reports Dubai will be under the gaze of a mesmerizing supermoon, with meteor showers likely lighting up the desert sky, so grab a mate, a rug, and a camera for some after-dark wonder.

Turning to hot-off-the-press local updates: the Museum of the Future is trending as THE selfie hotspot, says Kenya Travel News. Inside, mind-bending AI displays and interactive pods let you peek at the Dubai of tomorrow. Foodies, brace your taste buds—there’s talk of a new wave of Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurants opening near Jumeirah later this week, so get that WhatsApp group ready! And for the transit warriors, the new Nol Card top-up kiosks across Metro stations mean less queueing and more zooming between hotspots.

Must-do’s today? Start with a stroll down Alserkal Avenue to catch a snap of Concrete before the Dubai DNA exhibition opens later this month, then swing by the Museum of the Future for your dose of sci-fi, and finally, sunset cocktails at Iris or a Bavarian bash at Ernst. Hidden gem alert: Ask any cabbie for the “oldest karak spot in town”—they’ll know. Sip this sweet, spiced tea like a local and you just might be granted honorary Dubai resident status.

Local tip: Download the RTA app to make public transit a breeze—no more awkward haggling with taxi drivers, just pure, seamless city-surfing.

Don’t go anywhere—tomorrow brings the inauguration of that game-changing Peruvian Design exhibition, and rumors are swirling about a secret rooftop party atop an as-yet-undisclosed hotel. I’ll be back to spill all the beans, so stay tuned, stay curious, and keep your adventurous spirit cranked up to eleven!
