Offscreen In Real Life · weekly city guides
Offscreen is a free weekly guide to the real city: the new café, the pop-up, the run club, the clay class, the cheap good dinner. Every plan comes with the price, how to get there and whether you can go alone.

Dubai is live. Pick another city to get its first issue when it opens.
One email and one carousel a week, per city. No brunch lists, no clubs, no paid placements. Just things worth leaving the house for.
The weekend guide lands before you've made plans: 8 picks for Friday to Sunday, most of them free or cheap, plus one midweek extra for email readers.
The guide has no paid placements. If we ever post a paid partnership on Instagram, it says #ad, as UAE Media Council rules require.
Every pick says whether it works solo, because the easiest way to meet people is to show up somewhere with other people.
