    For music enthusiasts, while there aren't any concerts today, mark your calendars for January 7 when the electrifying performance of ZEMFIRA will take the stage at the Coca-Cola Arena.

    ### Must-Do Activities

    When in Dubai, you can't miss the iconic Dubai Marina and the Dubai Canal. Take a Water Bus or Abra ride for just AED 2 per stop, offering an economical and scenic way to explore the city's man-made canal.

    ### Local Tip

    To navigate like a local, remember that Fridays are the weekly day off in Dubai. Plan your shopping sprees or tourist activities around this, as many places might have different hours or be closed.
