Bringing the Fun to You in Dubai
Host a 'Home Concert'
‘Home concerts in Dubai’ is a great group where people from all walks of life come together over a love a music. You can choose to host, listen or perform at these concerts that take place across the city in people’s homes. It’s totally free and a great way to experience new, local artists. If you want to host a concert, you’ll need to get in touch early to try and arrange a date that works for everyone.
Bringing the Fun to You
Hire a local musician or host a backyard concert
Whether it’s reaching out on Facebook, or asking your local busker, you would be amazed how affordable it can be to get a really talented musician to perform for an hour or so for you guys in the privacy of your Livingroom. Alternatively, you can look into ‘House’ or ‘Backyard’ concert groups in your area. This is a great concept where people come together in someone’s home to experience new, local, artists and bond over a love of music. Stick “Backyard concerts near me” into Google and see what you can find.

Host a Silent Reading Party
Is your B2B a huge bookworm? Are you guys the types to prefer reading a good book than going dancing? Then this could be the kind of party for you. You can choose to read separately, but it works best if you all start on the same book. It’s simple really, you sit quietly and enjoy the book for 2 hours, and then afterwards you can discuss what you thought. You can even compare reading speeds and give a prize to the quickest reader! Alternatively, you could hold a little quiz at the end just for fun to see who was really paying attention. Here is a great list of tips on how to host a great silent reading party.
