A Mamma Mia-themed beach party is coming to Abu Dhabi
It's hard to believe, but it was all the way back in January when we announced that MAMMA MIA! The Musical is coming to Abu Dhabi. It was a long five month wait, but now we can finally say, 'it's just around the corner.'
However, if it's still too far off, we have something for you that will help you pass the time (at least for a day), as a Mamma Mia-themed beach party is coming to Abu Dhabi this weekend.
The party takes place for just one day on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Abu Dhabi's most vibrant beachside destination, Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa. The party begins at 5.30pm and goes on until 8.30pm. It's one fans of the musical or those who love ABBA don't want to miss.
Get ready to kick off your shoes and dance in the white sands to fun disco beats and plenty of ABBA hits. Expect tunes from DJ Sean, refreshing drinks, and Mexican-inspired eats. And don't forget to soak in those stunning sunset views.
Do I need to have a ticket to musical to enjoy this party? No, everyone is invited to enjoy the evening. However, if you do have a ticket to the musical, you can snap up a 20 per cent discount on food and beverages.
Want to check it out? For bookings or for more information, email bcreservations@barbossa.ae or call 056 358 4458.

The musical tells the story of a mother and a daughter who is on the hunt to find her dad before her wedding. The only sticky situation is that it could be one of three possible men. The drama unfolds on a Greek island with plenty of ABBA's upbeat catchy tunes. And of course, drama ensues as Sophie tries to keep them all apart and… away from her unsuspecting mother.
Anyone from Gen Zs to Boomers (and, unsurprisingly, beyond) will know of some of ABBA's hits. And if you're attending the musical, expect to hear and singalong to hits such as Money Money Money, Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie, Dancing Queen, Voulez-Vous, Honey Honey, Lay All Your Love On Me, Thank You For the Music, and many more. There's no doubt that ABBA's lovable setlist is the backbone of Mamma Mia!'s undeniable success.

Rodeo Drive: All-American Restaurant & Bar opening in Dubai this August
Rodeo Drive is rolling into Dubai this August, and it's coming in hot. Landing at the Oaks Hotel, Ibn Battuta Gate, this all-American bar and restaurant brings 14,000 square feet of pure character. Expect comfort food, live-fire grills, retro arcade games, live music, and yes, a mechanical bull. Set across six immersive zones, Rodeo Drive is part restaurant and part playground with enough edge to feel cool, and enough variety to suit pretty much every mood. The food: fire, flavour and Tex-Mex heat Image: Supplied At the centre of it all, is the grill pit. Head Chef Walter Melo is behind the menu, so expect food with roots from Mexico and Texas. Think flame-grilled steaks, smoky briskets, Tex-Mex bites, and Cali-Mex plates with punch. It's a pork-licensed kitchen, so expect some proper Southern-style BBQ, too. The entertainment: games, gigs and a Rodeo Bull Image: Supplied Rodeo Drive goes well beyond dinner and drinks. Expect live bands, DJs, beer pong, interactive darts, themed nights, and a full arcade packed with nostalgia. And then there's the bull-bucking, which is just waiting for you to test your balance (or your ego). For the kids: fun, safe, and screen-free Rodeo Drive isn't just for the grown-ups. Kids aged one to 10 also get their own play zone, with wall-mounted games, crafts, Rodeo Drive-themed books and toys, and a full-time nanny on site. Under 21s are welcome in the restaurant area. The design: a wild mix of six zones Image: Supplied Designed by Hiren Ganatra, the space unfolds through six distinct zones. There's the Wild West Grill with leather booths and raw timber, a New York-inspired bar with smoked glass and glossed tile, a neon-drenched arcade, the theatrical stage, the cage-like bull riding arena, and a secret speakeasy-style Mancave hidden behind a bookshelf. It's eclectic without feeling chaotic, where every corner with its own vibe. Location: Oaks Hotel, Ibn Battuta Gate, Dubai Times: Weekdays: restaurant 2pm to 2am, bar 4pm to 3am; weekends: restaurant and bar 12pm to 3am Contact: @rodeodriveibg > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
