While we have international women’s day in March of each year, various countries also have their own women's day observances. Accordingly, the UAE observes 28th August 2019 as Women’s Day – an event supported by the government as well as the community at large. If you’d like to enjoy Women’s Day too, here are some options:
Ladies can step out for some tea and bites and congregate at the Noor Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental. Afternoon tea will be accompanied by sweet and savoury snacks, essential oils and of course a wide selection of fragrant teas.
