Hit the sand
Paloma heads outside with a beach barbecue and three different bars on the beach ready to serve. The Big Mouth band takes the stage at 8pm playing everything from rock to hip hop, followed by DJ Shadi and DJ Paul Mendez until late. Still not enough to make you brave the heat? How about free drinks for ladies from 9pm-11pm? Tickets are QR60 for girls, QR120 for guys, QR185 with dinner and QR250 for VIP.
Thurs 3, InterContinental Beach. Call 4484 4444

Eat many many small cakes
Learn to make your own cupcakes and eat all your sweet candy creations. We fully intend to lick frosting until an oompah loompah physically removes us. Get all you can eat cupcakes including beverages, at this month’s Cupcake Carnival. Adults are QR100, children are QR70. The first sitting is from noon-3pm, the second from 3.30pm-6.30pm. Reservation encouraged.

Get down to Dr. Gabs
Sample some Asian treats and get down to the best of swing, jazz and boogie woogie when Dr. Gabs returns to the W Doha this month! With a smoky voice, a huge repertoire, and a willingness to take requests, he’s far more than just another piano man (although we hear he does a mean Billy Joel) and a show not to be missed. Shows run from 8pm-midnight.
Sat 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, Spice Market, W Doha. Call 4453 5135

Party with your kids this Eid
