Mother’s Day 2025: 24 Hours of ‘How To Celebrate’ Ideas
From sunrise mimosas to moonlit pampering, here’s the ultimate 24-hour itinerary to celebrate Mother’s Day in style, whether with your mum, your friends who are mothers, or simply taking some you-time
Here’s the truth, motherhood deserves more than just one day’s recognition – being a mum means a full-time job with no clock-out time, no vacations, and barely any me-time. It’s 3 AM feeds, science project marathons, doing emotional acrobatics between a career and some semblance of a personal life, and interminable, never-ending to-do lists.
So, whether you’re celebrating yourself, your mother, or the sisterhood in general, here’s the ultimate 24-hour guide to how to spend Mother’s Day in Dubai…. Elegantly and extravagantly, because that’s exactly what you deserve.
Now, pass the caviar, pour the champagne, and let Dubai do the rest.
