Another busy week at Time Out towers.

It has been a week that has seen us make a stage debut with the Krystal cabaret, eat our way through a couple of Michelin stars and ponder on the best way to cook a potato.

Listen to the Time Out Podcast with Dubai Eye’s Jeff Price and Suzanne Radford to find out our pick of the week’s events.

We’ve also picked out ten things to do this week.

1) Celebrate the Shopping festival: We all know about the bargains (how could we not with all the ‘Up to 80% off’ posters around town) but there is plenty more to enjoy at DSF. This week’s highlights are Toy Fantasia (traditional toy fair) at Wafi Mall and Art Avenue (an opportunity to watch and take part in a series of art and craft exercises) at Al Seef Street on the Bur Dubai side of the creek. Not to mention more of the weekend Firework Festival. Look to the skies above the Creek between 8 and 9pm to see 300 fireworks per minute popping and cracking.

2) Massive clubbing weekend: Some of the biggest names in dance music grace decks in the city this weekend. Seb Fontaine, John Digweed, Panjabi MC and Ferry Corsten are all doing their thing for beat-hungry dancers in Dubai.

3) Have dinner and a show: The Krystal Dinner Show brings cabaret-style entertainment to the Mina Seyahi. Expect the unexpected with acts such as the one-man duet, mind-readers and acrobats.

4) Take an afternoon tee: The Dubai Desert Classic is underway and until Sunday February 3 the world’s best golfers will be slugging it out to walk away with the $416,660 first prize. Go along to the Majilis Course at the Emirates Golf Club to see some of the world’s biggest sporting icons.

5) Do it all again: Saturday is Groundhog Day. So, in true movie style, repeat what you did on Friday. Go to the same places, eat the same food, speak to the same people.

6) Taste of Dubai: The festival for foodies begins on Wednesday night. If you feel the need to take your tastebuds on holiday then let them run wild at the Media City show for a few hours. Watch this blog for more news from the exhibition as it happens.

7) Watch a musical comedy: The world’s only one man Armenian comic pianist is hoping to entertain crowds in Dubai this week. An artist with such a strange billing really does deserve to be seen and heard.

8) Get the Oscar buzz: The Coen Brothers’ No Country For Old Men is leading the Oscar charge at the moment with eight nominations. See it in Dubai this weekend.

9) Remember a legend: Jacques Brel is one of France’s greatest ever singer songwriters. He is remembered by professional soundalike Cedric Vandenschrik at the Madinat this weekend.

10) Save the world: Tuesday is UAE Environment day. Do your bit to save the planet.

Listen to Jeff Price and Suzanne Radford weekdays from 9am on 103.8FM in Dubai.
