There are some top spots to sweat in JVC, so if you're a fitness fanatic, check out FitRepublik nearby for a swim in its 50m Olympic sized pool, or get your trainers on and smash a 5km around Gadaf Park.
If it's a bit of retail therapy you're after then a stroll around Circle Mall should do the trick. While you're there, let the little ones browse the toys at Play and Dream and of course, finish off with a flat white at Coffee Planet.
For a guaranteed good night out, grab a pint and watch the game at Goose Island Tap House, or step out onto the dancefloor at Mansion for some late-night grooving.
Transport in JVC
Al Khail Road (Credit: RTA)
If you're living in JVC (or visiting), you'll most likely need to travel by car or taxi.
The neighbourhood is not attached to a Dubai Metro line, however, it backs onto both Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, making for easy connections to the rest of the city. If you're travelling in rush hour, be sure to allow for a little extra journey time.
There is one bus route serving JVC, the J01, which loops around the area before heading the Mall of the Emirates bus station.

How to divorce-proof your summer

Yes, yes, isn't it lovely. The sun belting down. All that. But unofficially we're all aware that a hot British summer, an actual 'it's going to hit 30C' summer that doesn't start on a Monday and stop on a Thursday, places strain on the average marriage on a par with those other legendary stress points, Christmas and moving house. Only, the difference with summer marital stress is that it's never acknowledged because there can be no downside to summer in a country that doesn't get much sun. Although now that that looks like it's a thing of the past, there's all the more reason we should get divorce-proofing summer asap. Let's start with the obvious stress points to be aware of: In films, hot summer nights are hot in every sense. IRL they are the stifling, sleep-depriving No 1 enemy of marital harmony. They make you regret everything from the position of your bedroom (south-facing on a main road) to all your life choices (much later on in the night), including your choice of life partner. The fact is you will have talked about your infernally hot bedroom the last time you were lying awake with wet flannels on your faces. At that point there was a plan in place to solve the problem for ever (ceiling fan plus Dyson) and then it cooled down suddenly and, unbeknown to us, the funds were allocated to a bigger TV. What women feel in these circs is that we are sharing a bed in a hellhole with someone who doesn't care and is unreliable. See how this can go? • Read more expert advice on sex, relationships, dating and love We're fine on holiday when we can wear the floaty thing and flip-flops and sit on a veranda, but we're living our normal lives in this oven. It's harder to juggle work and motherhood and public transport and parent care in a hot summer, and if you want to maintain your dignity it involves twice as much effort and financial outlay. Being a woman in the heat means endless expenditure (hair removal! Pedicures!) and rinsing out and crisping up and rotating heat-appropriate footwear. It means a gulf of envy opening up between the women who drift around looking at ease with a smooth ponytail and a dry upper lip and the rest of us, who look as if we're sitting on a smelter. And the point is women in this state feel under pressure (bloody everyone is on Mounjaro! Gwyneth Paltrow is cooking topless in boxer shorts! Sixtysomething women are wearing bikinis!), defensive and disappointed in their lot. Tinderbox. High summer comes with expectations and memories of the time when you pottered around in a string bikini, eating figs, and your husband was forever whisking you off for a largely bed and a bit of beach summer hol. Now if you go on a holiday (and you may not; see gardening, below) it must involve a bicycle with a very narrow seat; a battlefield tour (Waterloo?); some serious hiking to somewhere of cultural significance; padel in the heat of the day; or learning how to make polenta. This leaves us feeling old and heifery (we agreed to it but whatever) and mourning our lost youth and all the lie-ins and attention we used to get. • The new summer holiday etiquette Will basically be in their element (very annoying). • They get ultra cooking ambitious (should be welcome but not really because it always involves a last-minute frenzied drive around in search of black garlic and preserved lemons). • They get the barbecue out (too many frustrations to list, culminating in always lighting it too early or too late, and most importantly not being able to contribute anything else because they are 'watching the barbecue'). More work for us. • They get experimental fun times in the clothes department, which means anything from Brad Pittish louche combinations (seersucker jacket, yellow trousers) to Brian Wilson tribute outfits (big shorts, Hawaiian shirt) or maybe a towelling polo shirt and some off-white jeans. Either way (see 'women feel like heifers', above) it feels passive-aggressive. They often spend money you might have spent on your wedding dress on a pair of sunglasses. • They get David Beckham fiefdom ideas. Maybe not the beekeeping, maybe not the roses of kings, but they may fancy a pizza oven and growing vegetables and … now they are serious gardeners and that's what's happening in any spare moment. Used to be 'Sorry, got to sort out this work thing'; now it's 'Sorry, need to do something in the garden'. • They go entertainment crazy and are constantly suggesting the Whatsits come over for an alfresco supper for which they will rustle up several 100 per cent home-grown courses (apart from the cheese, but never say never). Again, should be great news for their partners but feels undermining since all anyone now talks about is his green fingers and cooking and how nice he has made everything look. And it's not just us: Posh is dealing with David's summer garden boy phase, and note, she doesn't have time for fannying around thinning the lettuces either. • They are never off the mower. It's like a man cave but mobile, and they have ear defenders so … • … they get a birdsong app. Lovely. But you never hear the end of it. They may stop you in mid-sentence when you're explaining the emergency with your mother's carer and say: 'Sssh … goldfinch.' Bottom line: your needs are no longer being met because it's all about summer. • How to get divorced: can anyone even afford to split up any more? • Drinking at lunch. We used to be good at this; now it means we have to sleep all afternoon and most of the next day, and in between we may feel in the mood for a fight. • Too much exposure to Mr and Mrs Mounjaro.• Missing a highlighting appointment (in the mistaken belief that it's summer and it will take care of itself).• Trying on a bikini if have not worn a bikini since before lockdown. • Letting it be known that you have no interest in going anywhere now that the garden (veg) is in full flight.• Suddenly taking an interest in cooking (after all these years of saying you were only a scrambled eggs man) and taking over.• Wearing sandals but not bothering to sort out your feet.• Refusing to wear suncream and burning. Applying suncream carelessly to wife so that she burns.• Being extremely complimentary about your neighbour Susie's new 'shape'.• Falling in love with the mower, barbecue, vegetable patch, birds, bird.

British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look

BECK TO BASICS British blokes have forgotten how to dress for the sun – follow these tips for a more stylish summer look Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REMEMBER when we used to laugh at German blokes on holiday? You could spot them a mile off, with their mullets, vests, questionable moustaches, beer bellies and skimpy swimwear. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 12 Follow David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt and pleated linen trousers Credit: The Mega Agency 12 Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them Credit: Getty 12 Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes Credit: Getty Well, now they are laughing at us because while they discovered style, we stole their look and made it worse by adding football shirts and Crocs. Germans now cut a dash with their stylish minimalism. The French embody effortless chic. The Italians and Spanish dress with cool Latin style. We, meanwhile, have become the poorly dressed man of Europe. British men have forgotten how to dress for the sun and stock our summer wardrobes with football shirts, muscle tees, bucket hats, skinny jeans, ¾-length trackies and oversized sunglasses. Our identity crisis is a national disgrace. On Spanish beaches our kids don't bury us in the sand because it's fun. They bury us because they're embarrassed by us, like cats burying their mess. Not so long ago, summer used to be a stress-free affair for men of my age — I'm 55. On beaches we disappeared into the background, unnoticeable behind expanding midriffs and cloaks of matted body hair. We sat behind windbreaks, vests on, knotted hankies on head, trousers rolled up, reading the Racing Post. I'm a men's fashion expert - these style mistakes are ruining your look and could even damage expensive items No one expected anything of us. Women fretted about swimwear while we were allowed to gracefully surrender into middle-age spread. We only had two beach role models, Peter Stringfellow with his thong, and David Hasselhoff, who spent half the 1980s sucking in his stomach and the other half driving a talking car. But today more is expected of us. Blame social media if you want. The world has moved on. Men are expected to care more about how they dress. But in the UK it seems we didn't get the memo and while Europeans got more stylish, British blokes spun off at a tangent, like a divergent timeline in Marvel's Loki series. But you can do better. Some men try to break the mould, but get led astray trying to emulate celebrity role models. 12 Timothée Chalamet in cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble Credit: BackGrid 12 Ryan Gosling makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos Credit: Getty 12 Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City Credit: Getty Timothée Chalamet can get away with his cargo-shorts-socks-and-sandals ensemble because he's Timothée Chalamet — but you are not. Leave the short-shorts to Paul Mescal — because even he doesn't look good in them. And despite what the fashion mags tell you, bold matching tops and trousers do not look good on men over 25. Just look at Brad Pitt in his garish tie-dye tracksuit while out in New York City earlier this month. If a Hollywood superstar can't pull it off, you definitely can't. There are celebrity outliers, however. Take some pointers from Ryan Gosling, who makes it look easy with plain shirts and chinos, or David Beckham and his neutral bomber jacket, white T-shirt, pleated linen trousers and white trainers, or slightly more daring, Michael B Jordan in an animal print shirt with cool tonal trousers and leather shoes. Now we are re-establishing better relations with our continental brethren, it's time to smarten up our act — and the good news is, it's not hard. How do I know? Because I did it. I too was once like you, a hopeless summer fashion victim. I wore cargo shorts, West Ham footie shirts pulled over my dad-bod beer belly, and athleisure sandals. My swimwear of choice was below the knee board shorts. 12 The Sun's Nick is all set for summer Credit: Supplied On one holiday to the South of France I flirted with budgie smugglers after a traumatic experience in a French open-air swimming pool where board shorts were banned. I didn't realise and was frog-marched from the pool by lifeguards who made me purchase tight trunks from a vending machine. Walking back into the pool in my tiny new Lycra swimwear was like the walk of shame in Game Of Thrones. Today a 5-inch inseam is as daring as I get (which is good style advice for any man). My fashion salvation happened after I met a younger, stylish woman, who is now my wife. Stephanie, 45, knocked me into shape and taught me how to dress. It didn't take a lot of effort and I even get compliments occasionally from my 23-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son. So, as you head off for your hols, take a few tips from me. Ditch the football shirts, no one in Mykonos cares about Burnley FC. Ditch anything with big logos on it. Wear leather sandals or espadrilles. Choose linen or seersucker short-sleeved shirts. You can't go wrong with a polo shirt and tailored shorts in neutral palettes. Replace your battered baseball cap with a Panama hat. Treat yourself to some understated sunglasses. Bodies should get some attention too. Before 2006, we could get away with a hairy dad bod, but then the film Casino Royale hit the big screen, and when Daniel Craig emerged from the sea like God chiselled from marble he ruined it for all of us. Now we're expected to look presentable in swimwear. So, get your back waxed, manscape your chest hair. Have a fake tan, but don't go mad. Ask for a light one. Get your eyebrows shaped and tinted. It's not unusual any more and makes a big difference, I promise. No one is going to think any less of you. Maybe swap a pint for a glass of rosé occasionally, or a mojito. Just a few small tweaks and the new stylish you will fit right in on beaches from the Costas to the Greek islands. Make the UK cool again, just don't mention Brexit.

Cooling cushions, neck fans and other genius ways to keep cool in a heatwave

Potentially the hottest day of the year, so far, has arrived and the weather has become an even more 'hot' topic than usual with the British public. Some people love it, some people moan about it, but usually everyone finds themselves looking for ways to cool down at some point. There are a number of clever products and helpful suggestions that can help lower the body temperature when the temperature hits the highest of highs, and some of them are obvious and some of them may be more obscure. One of the most wonderful ways to cool down that the children (of all ages, including adults) will love is surely the good old paddling pool - but the designs have improved greatly over the years so less likely to be ripped or damaged by sharp nails or over-excited dogs. For more garden and home content sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here. Jump in the pool Argos is offering a heavy-duty, rigid paddling pool adorned by a pretty under the sea design that has an extra bonus - no need to break into a sweat trying to inflate it as this pool doesn't need it. The Bestway 6 foot Odyssey Pool costs £18 and that can also come down in price if buyers use the code 2 for £30, which unlocks the discount 'buy 2 selected Toys and Games for £30. Offer valid until 27 July 2025'. However, signing up to TopCashback website as a new member can unlock a free £15 sign-up bonus. Find out more about the pool and alternatives from other retailers here. Pick up an ice pack Ice packs might be an option to explore and the Comfytemp Large Gel Ice Pack, although sold as a way of relieving an injury, is a larger size and is pack of two, so you can cool two areas of your body at once, plus they're reusable and can be used as heat pads too. Currently selling on Amazon for £14.99. There are a number of cheaper alternatives to the Comfytemp Large Gel Ice Pack available from Amazon, such as the TANNESS 2-Pack Gel Cooling Mat and Cool Pillow Cushion, retailing currently for £8.99. Fantastic fans Of course there are standing fans and desk fans that can help you stay cool indoors from a desk fan to a standing fan, with the Dyson Hot & Cool Jet Focus maybe a good option for the higher price tag as it can be used as a heater too. Currently reduced from £399.99 to £290.00 via Amazon. But on the go there are a number of options to consider, and many of them can be delivered by tomorrow if ordered quickly. Small portable fans include the Pagezol Handheld Fan that has a super cute cat design and can stand on a desk too, but it needs charging first, or the battery operated. Arguably one product is becoming more popular as it doesn't need to be held - you wear it! The STAYCOOL mini portable USB rechargeable neck fan is selling fast on Amazon for £23.94, or there's a cheaper alternative from Argos retailing at £15 called Menkind BeCool Bladeless Neck Fan Black. Spray away A clever but simple combination of air and water make this Water Mist Spray fan a cheaper alternative currently discounted on Amazon to £6.49, but try not to soak the person next to you on the bus, train, or street - unless they are over-heating too and want it. Tried and tested suggestions Alternatives to this array of products are some suggestions passed between people for years, from the simple act of finding shade and having a cold shower, to running a tea towel under cold water or packing it with ice and then placing on the back of your neck as tennis players do between games, and keeping curtains closed so the sun doesn't stream in - and they are all free. A blanket (yes, really) Night time can be a bad time for feeling too hot but, maybe surprisingly, a blanket can help according to customer reviews, and can also help relieve menopause hot flush symptoms too. Called the Silentnight Restore Cooling Lightweight Blanket it could be a product family members fight over in the heat, and costs £44.99. Silentnight says the blanket, part of a range of cooling bedding, is made with innovative cool sensation fabric for instant cooling comfort and breathable jersey cotton, making it perfect for those who suffer with menopausal night sweats and hot flushes, for a cool and comfortable nights' sleep.
