Friday Brunch

Friday brunch is an institution in Dubai. The city's convoluted weekend system means no one seems to be off work at the same time, but this is an exception. Whether it is families out for a pleasant feed, or young expats recovering after Thursday night's excesses, Friday brunch is one of the few pursuits that straddles cultural barriers. Even some of the locals - few though they are - might line up in between their five trips to the mosque.
