June 26 to July 2

People, places and things on our hot list this week.

Website of the week: The UAE's art scene is constantly growing, with hundreds of exhibitions taking place throughout the year. The website Art In The City combines large and small-scale art and cultural events in a simplified map for each emirate. What better way to beat the heat than in an art gallery? www.artinthecity.com Come fly with me Private jets are usually chartered for a one-way journey, with the flight returning empty to the place of origin. Air Partner has launched a programme in which groups can travel on these return flights at a fraction of the usual cost. By logging on to its website you can see which legs of flights are "empty sectors", and send a request to fly back on them. Prices vary depending on the journey but they can be cheaper than flying your whole family business class, and the flights have the added prestige associated with a private jet. A six-seater jet from London to the French Riviera costs Dh16,000, about Dh10,000 cheaper than a one-way business-class ticket with a top airline.
