18 Jun 2025

Can't remember when Father's Day is? Don't worry — in the UAE, it lands on June 21, and if you are now mildly panicking, you aren't alone. This day creeps up quicker than your dad’s sarcasm when your car breaks down for the third time in a month. Whether your dad’s idea of a good time is building LEGO sets or yelling at football referees from the comfort of an air-conditioned restaurant, Father’s Day in UAE offers more than just a last-minute mug and tie.
Now, if you are the father in question — first, congratulations on surviving sleepless nights, endless school runs, and being the default Wi-Fi troubleshooter. Second, feel free to “accidentally” forward this article to your loved ones. Just a casual nudge. Here is a list of ways to celebrate Father’s Day in UAE and what to gift — no socks included.

The classic with a twist: LEGO’s Father’s Day magic

Is your father the type who believes Sunday afternoons are for naps, slippers, and telling people how things used to be better in the ‘80s? Perfect. Get him a LEGO set.
The LEGO Group would quite like you to stop gifting tired novelty mugs and start gifting bricks. Their new campaign reimagines cliché presents — ties, socks, and that inevitable mug — into buildable glory. Picture your father crafting a replica of his own slippers while you search the rug for that one rogue piece. It is bonding, irony, and indoor serenity in one colourful box. Bonus: it counts as screen-free family time, which practically earns you a sainthood.

The Family Adventure Parks collection

Three tickets, three parks, one convenient certificate. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, MOTIONGATE Dubai, or LEGOLAND Dubai — choose your adventure wisely (or boldly). Expect amplified heart rates, slightly regrettable souvenir photos, and stories you will be hearing until New Year’s Eve.

Stables & The power of dad jokes

The Stables insists that stand-up comedy is an acceptable price for a free burger and pint. Deliver a dad joke into the mic (“I was wondering why the frisbee looked bigger; then it hit me”) and the kitchen rewards bravery with a savoury set. The Burgers & Hops Festival runs from midday to 5 pm, giving you ample time to decide whether that pun was worth public humiliation.

Topgolf, the air-conditioned way

Too hot to golf, you say? Not at Top Golf Dubai. With air-conditioned bays and 99 AED weekday rates (until 5 pm), this is the place where dad can swing without sweating (at least not from the heat).
Book a bay, grab some all-American snacks, and enjoy an afternoon of semi-competitive family chaos. Bonus: their arcade and shaded units mean no complaints from younger siblings. You are welcome.

The Golf Father towel

Complete the Topgolf excursion with an embroidered towel that reads “The Golf Father.” It is pun-tastic, absorbent, and practically a napkin for irony.

Village Bistro barbecue night

It isn't Father’s Day without smoke in someone’s eyes. Village Bistro, Jumeirah Village Circle, fires up Texas-style ribs and offers a buy-one-get-one deal at AED 120 per person. Hearty portions, friendly service, and no washing-up dispute afterwards — please name a greater trio.

Espresso. But portable

Every hero needs a fuel source. If your dad is dangerous pre-coffee, gift him the Outin Portable Espresso Machine. Whether camping, commuting or stuck in traffic, he gets his coffee fix wherever, whenever. Ground beans or capsules? It handles both. Yes, even in the car.
It is compact, stylish, and finally solves the "terrible coffee at petrol stations" dilemma. Pair it with a road trip, and now you are thinking long-term.

MiMi Mei Fair Dim-Sum Bundle

For the patriarch who is in fancy dining experiences, MiMi Mei Fair delivers art-directed dim sum and a choice between the Umami Negroni and the teetotal T-Fizz. Limited-edition bundles (188 AED) land between June 20 and 22. Beijing duck cameo optional but recommended.

Vida Creek Beach, big screen edition

You want quality time. He wants to watch the game. Meet halfway at Vida Creek Beach, where live Premier League screenings are paired with delicious à la carte dishes in a breezy courtyard setting.
The Father’s Day in UAE celebration here hits just the right note — relaxed, engaging, and with just enough sporty chaos to make everyone happy. Bonding without effort? That is worth the screen time.

Adventure + Sleep = Vida Hotels Staycation

Celebrate Father’s Day in Dubai with a staycation at Vida Hotels and Resorts — complete with 10% off and two free tickets to Emaar attractions like Dubai Ice Rink, Reel Cinemas, or even Skyview Observatory.
You get laughter, luxury, and someone else making the beds. The only family argument? Who gets the last croissant at breakfast.

Final lap: Yas Marina Circuit

If your father still thinks of himself as James Bond behind the wheel, this is it: the Yas Formula 3000 driving experience.
High-speed laps, instructor-led sessions, and enough adrenaline to last him till next Father's Day. Just prepare yourself: he will bring it up in every family dinner for the next twelve months.

The audiophile dad deserves Bang & Olufsen

If your dad needs peace, or just a good soundtrack to block out the chaos, go deluxe with Bang & Olufsen’s Beoplay H100.
These headphones feature elite noise cancellation and impeccable sound — perfect for work, travel, or pretending not to hear his wife calling to help her in the kitchen. The price? Painful. The payoff? Heavenly silence. Worth every dirham.

Poubel charm bracelet set

Now for the most unexpected flex: Poubel’s charm bracelet set, a fashionista-approved Father’s Day gift in UAE, for the dad who appreciates a bit of flair. Designed by the ever-ironic Gstaad Guy, this exclusive Ounass collection serves old-money elegance with a wink. It is silver, it is modular, and — let’s face it — your dad could use something shiny that isn’t a smart watch.
If he likes to pair his sarcasm with style (and maybe the occasional cigar), this bracelet is the one.

Acer charging upright bike desk: Fitness, meet fatherhood

For the multitasking dad who insists he doesn't have time to exercise — because he is too busy answering emails — introduce him to the Acer charging upright bike desk.
Not only does it generate power (yes, he can literally charge his devices while pedalling), but it turns Father’s Day in Dubai into the start of his villain origin story: the man who does Zoom meetings while burning calories. It is a win for his heart, his screen time stats, and your own bragging rights as the child who bought the coolest gift.

Bork percussion massager for a quiet relief

Dads are often the human equivalent of duct tape — quietly holding everything together while their back slowly disintegrates. This Father’s Day in UAE, it is time to return the favour. Enter the Bork percussion massager: compact, ergonomic, and powerful. With eight attachments (because of course he needs options), this wellness gadget hits every ache, pain, and mysterious crick.
