Dubai's rooftop weekend, plus tango in Abu Dhabi
In United Arab Emirates, the week builds toward the local Friday–Saturday weekend. Dubai warms up with the Wednesday Latin Party at FIVE Jumeirah Village and Calentura Thursday at Roso in Barsha Heights, then splits into two Friday nights: the Friday Latin Party at Wane by SoMiya in Address Dubai Marina and La Grande Friday on the SoBe rooftop at W Dubai – The Palm. Saturdays go afro-latin — AfroLatin Dubai Saturdays at Pele Pool Bar by Ibn Battuta and Afro Latin Saturday at TT Rooftop Bar in Dubai Internet City — mixing bachata, salsa and kizomba, with zouk in the rotation. Over in Abu Dhabi, Sunset AD Milonga brings tango to the Grand Millennium Al Wahda.
