There’s just days to go ahead of the World Cup in Russia and venues in Dubai are busy jostling for business. Some are looking to pack tents and marquees full of fans but that’s not everybody’s cup of tea, so here we have two more relaxed, but still lively atmospheres to enjoy over the next month.

The Courtyard at Manzil Downtown offers a relaxed atmosphere and you’re guaranteed to get a good view of the game. Large TV screens will be showing all the action in the nicely air-conditioned outdoor setting. Over the next month The Courtyard is offering a special World Cup menu to keep your bellies full on match days. The adjacent Boulevard Lounge fun zone features PlayStations, foosball and face painting.

An ideal sports bar to catch all the action is the Nezesaussi Grill, Manzil Downtown, with screens aplenty and walls adorned in sporting memorabilia.

What’s more, there’s a wide variety of food to enjoy while the games are on. Plus, you’ll get a free World Cup gift when you spend AED 99 – which also includes two house beverages. The food portions are large and the service is quick, so you’ll be all set to catch all the World Cup action.
