Dubai’s restaurants and wellness venues are preparing a citywide selection of special experiences for Emirati Women’s Day, officially observed on August 28.
The Emirati Women’s Day Dubai deals range from complimentary desserts and limited-edition dim sum to a Bengali feast, discounted afternoon tea and free yoga classes. While several offers are available exclusively on August 28, others begin earlier or continue into September.
Some complimentary items are only available to women dining at the participating restaurant, while advance reservations are required for selected dining and fitness experiences. Here are the dates, prices and locations to know before making plans.
Carine Is Serving Complimentary Pistachio Tiramisu
French Mediterranean restaurant Carine is introducing a limited-edition Pistachio Tiramisu at Emirates Golf Club.
The dessert combines mascarpone cream, pistachio and traditional Italian flavours. Women dining at Carine during lunch on Friday, August 28, will receive the dessert complimentary.
The Pistachio Tiramisu will remain on the menu during dinner on August 28 and throughout the weekend on August 29 and 30, priced at AED 65.
The complimentary offer is therefore limited to lunch service on August 28. Anyone visiting later in the day or during the following weekend can still order the dessert at its regular promotional price.

When: August 28 to 30
Price: Complimentary for women during lunch on August 28; AED 65 during dinner and on August 29 and 30

The Pearl Garden Dumpling features a water chestnut filling, while the blue Sapphire Silk Dumpling contains mushrooms. The Ruby Blossom Dumpling is filled with mixed vegetables, and the Imperial Jade Dumpling combines scallop and shrimp.
The collection also includes an Amber Crystal Dumpling filled with chicken and a Golden Topaz Dumpling based on China Tang’s signature Xiao Long Bao.

La Maison Ani Has A One-Day Dessert Offer
La Maison Ani at Dubai Mall is offering a complimentary dessert to women dining at the restaurant on August 28.
Created by the restaurant’s pastry team, the Tarte Cacahuète & Caramel Salé begins with a chocolate tart shell filled with peanut caramel, chocolate ganache and sea-salt caramel. It is completed with a layer of vanilla mascarpone cream.
The dessert will be served complimentary to women dining during lunch or dinner service. Because the offer is only available for one day and Dubai Mall is likely to be busy, reserving a table in advance would be the safest option.
This is not a takeaway giveaway. The dessert is intended for women dining at the restaurant during the specified services.
Where: La Maison Ani, Dubai Mall
When: August 28 during lunch and dinner
Price: Complimentary for women dining at the restaurant
Booking: Advance reservations are advisable
Mausam Pairs A Bengali Feast With Downtown Views

The feast also includes accompaniments such as Basanti Kaju Pulao, Bengali breads and classic sides. Patishapta with Laccha Rabri provides the final sweet course.
The experience is priced from AED 175 per person and comes with views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain. Although it is not a complimentary promotion, it provides a more substantial option for groups planning a full lunch or dinner.
