Reminder, it’s Mothering Sunday on Sunday March 10 (in the UK) and Mother’s Day in the Middle East on Thursday March 21.

Two opportunities to celebrate mums in Dubai. Winning. (Especially for the dads who might forget the first one.)

Here in Dubai, there are plenty of places to take your mum to treat her on the special day, and even some spots putting on special deals. Hooray.

Some places are running events on the UK Mothering Sunday date and others on Tuesday March 21.
