Book hotels & brunches early. Popular brunch slots and cruises sell out fast.
Respect local norms. Keep costumes tasteful — avoid gore and religious imagery. Public modesty still applies in many places.
Transport: West Bay and The Pearl can be busy — use taxis or ride-hailing apps and allow extra travel time.
Family vs adult timing: Family events usually run earlier; club nights and rooftop parties start later in the evening.
Check event pages. Many parties list tickets and dress codes online — buy ahead to avoid lines.
