This Might Be Dubai’s Cutest Eid Pop-Up Yet

If your ideal weekend involves iced matcha, charm bracelets, cool girl brands, ceramics, candles, Sephora touch-ups and spending way too much money on things you absolutely convinced yourself you “needed,” then clear your schedule immediately.

Because Curated Playlist is basically turning Eid shopping into a full-blown lifestyle experience this weekend.

Running from May 22 to 24 at Mihbash in Jumeirah, the latest edition of Curated Community Pop-Ins feels less like a traditional market and more like the kind of Pinterest-coded gathering every Dubai girl secretly wishes existed year-round.

Think garden pop-up meets creative sleepover energy.

Set across Mihbash’s intimate glasshouse and outdoor garden spaces, the three-day event brings together a seriously good mix of regional fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands alongside immersive workshops and community experiences designed around Eid gifting, creativity and discovery. And yes, Sephora is officially part of it this year.

Which honestly makes perfect sense considering the event already feels like a physical manifestation of every beauty girl’s saved Instagram folder.

Visitors can browse brands including Peach Jam, Naya, Little Olives, Amyrilli, Stardust, Zoyeh Studio, Anjus Fine Jewelry, Rai, Common Kin, Ethereal PJ’s and Taraash Maison among others, making it the perfect excuse to discover smaller regional brands before everybody else inevitably does.

But honestly, the workshops are where things get dangerously tempting.

There’s Palestinian ceramic painting with Crystal Cottage for the artsy girls, candle-making and live candle bars with Studio Kinza for the girls romanticising their apartments, embroidery personalisation with Lunaloom, charm workshops with Black Pearl Studio, plus Stardust’s summer pieces workshop for anyone currently trying to become “that girl” before summer officially starts.

Basically, every corner sounds like content waiting to happen.

What also makes Curated Playlist feel different from typical pop-ups is that it genuinely understands community culture in Dubai right now.

People aren’t only looking to shop anymore. They want experiences. Spaces to meet people. Things that feel personal, creative and slightly offline for a few hours. Somewhere between a market, a social gathering and a creative hangout is exactly where this event lands.

Founded by Ghalia Gharbawi and Ingy Mansour, Curated Playlist has built a reputation around supporting local creatives and emerging brands while creating experiences that feel warm, social and aesthetically addictive all at once.

In a city where everything can sometimes feel overly polished or transactional, that softer community-focused energy is probably why people keep coming back.

So whether you’re hunting for last-minute Eid gifts, looking for your next hyperfixation hobby, planning a girls’ day out or simply wanting somewhere cute to spend the weekend, this might genuinely be one of Dubai’s coolest Eid plans. Just don’t expect to leave empty-handed.
