2022-11-14 13:02:02 When a black-and-white kitten was spotted between President His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, during their meeting at Al Marmoom in Dubai, it became the talk of the town.

As the two leaders were discussing issues concerning the nation yesterday, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed was seen softly stroking the cat.

Last August, several residents of Dubai saved a cat from certain death in a video shared by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid.

After being rescued, the cat was given to a shelter at Al Marmoom Conservation Reserve, where it gave birth to many kittens, including the one at the meeting between Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid.

It's a very nice story, isn't it?

Here are some outdoor activities you can enjoy with your children this weekend:

1. Head to Dubai’s Creek Marina for a nice morning picnic or a relaxing evening by the gorgeous promenade.

2. At Dubai Design District (D3), there is a skate park, basketball and volleyball courts, climbing walls, an urban beach and outdoor seating.

3. Head to the Burj Plaza for a nice outdoor evening. Get ready for an adventurous ride on this 19-metre-long tube at the Burj Plaza. The 19m long tube is mounted at a 30-degree angle, with riders meeting a two square metre floor mat at the bottom.

4. Dubai Marina is another perfect place for a family outing in Dubai. Children seem to love splashing around in the dancing fountains at the Marina Walk.
