Friday is the equivalent of Saturday for Dubai residents (and the residents of UAE): a day of rest and relaxation following a long week of work. While some would opt to take things slow by going to the beach or pampering themselves in Dubai's excellent line of spas, many would take advantage of the weekend by indulging in opulent Friday brunches.

The best restaurants and eateries across Dubai compete for diners' Dirhams as they serve extravagant brunches involving signature specialties the likes of crispy Peking Duck, oysters served on crushed ice and pan-seared Foie Gras.
