Alright y’all, we’ve got some massive news for all the burger-obsessed out there: California’s most iconic burger joint, In-N-Out, is making a sizzling comeback to Dubai for ONE DAY ONLY. And honestly, if you sleep on this… do you even really love burgers? So, what’s the deal, you ask? Let’s cut to the chase!
This pop-up will be around on Wednesday, April 16, from 10am to 3pm (or until they sell out, which we’re sure, they totally will), at Switch Bowling, India Court in Ibn Battuta Mall. Yup, the exact spot that had people lining up like crazy in 2021 when In-N-Out hit Dubai for the first time. The vibes were wild, the lines were long, and the burgers? So worth it.
This time, though, it’s even bigger. They’re throwing this burger party to celebrate Ibn Battuta Mall’s 20th anniversary, and they’re bringing that signature West Coast sizzle we’ve all been craving. So if you’re wondering whether it’s worth pulling a little midweek disappearing act from work or uni… the answer is yes. But before you grab your keys and sprint out the door, here’s exactly why this burger bonanza is 100% worth ditching your desk for:
It’s here for literally five hours. That’s it.
No, seriously. One day only. From 10am to 3pm. That’s your entire shot to live your In-N-Out fantasy. These bad boys are gonna fly off the grill fast, so if you’re not there early, you’re risking some serious FOMO. Fun fact: the recipe for their special sauce hasn’t changed since 1948. That’s 76 years of burger perfection, and that’s what makes every bite legendary.
You Get All The California Vibes Without The 16-hour Flight
We’re talking that classic Double-Double burger, golden fries, and the kind of laid-back Cali cool that makes you want to throw on your sunglasses and pretend you’re walking down Venice Beach. In-N-Out is the fast food fave in California (they literally top every list), and it’s super rare we get to taste it here. So when the chance shows up? You run, not walk.
The Wristbands Are Limited – And Kinda Legendary
Here’s the deal: no wristband, no burger. These are handed out first-come, first-served, and the quantities are super limited. They’ve even got limited-edition wristbands to commemorate the event, so arriving early is non-negotiable. (Translation: set that alarm. You’ve been warned.)
Even Celebs Can’t Get Enough
Not to flex, but In-N-Out has a pretty stacked fan club. We’re talking Gordon Ramsay, Thomas Keller, and Kylie Jenner (she was basically on a weekly burger run during her pregnancy). Oh, and let’s not forget Ryan Gosling, Reese Witherspoon, and Priyanka Chopra, who all made headlines with their post-award show In-N-Out cravings. This burger is literally red carpet-approved. So eating it at Ibn Battuta = pretty much the same thing, right? And hey, you never know who might show up *casually does the math on celeb sightings in Dubai*
It’s the Midweek Pick-Me-Up You Didn’t Know You Needed
After chowing the legendary In-N-Out Burger and snapping that post-burger glow selfie, why not hang around for a few rounds of bowling? The pop-up’s happening inside Switch Bowling, which makes it the perfect random-but-fun Wednesday adventure. Burgers, besties, and a little friendly competition? We’re so in.
Charge your phone, clear your calendar, and bring your appetite. In-N-Out is back in Dubai, and it’s for one day only. See you in line!
