News: Favourite weekend activity for UAE residents

In an online poll run by TwentyFourSeven news website, SLEEPING is undoubtedly the favourite activity for the majority of the residents in the country! Yes, you heard right, 'Sleeping'! What did you think it was, partying?
Forty one of the residents who took part in the survey believe sleep is what appeals to them the most on their days off. Many people believe a few extra hours of sleep during the weekend keeps them refreshed during the weekdays but this is not true.
 

Next on the list of the favourite weekend activity, that can be tagged as lazy, is spending time on TV, PC and gaming - 14 per cent of the country’s residents like to be couch potatoes in front of a screen when they don’t work. Fifteen per cent of the respondents believe family visits are the most awaited weekend activity for them and 12 per cent still try to keep the belief alive that Dubai’s national past time is shopping. For this percentage of people, shopping is undoubtedly the favourite weekend activity.

This is followed by 11 per cent of people who love to barbecue and 7 per cent who like to indulge in adventure sports. Sadly, it is only 1 per cent of the population who like to attend live concerts.
