Last year, during the final ten days of Ramadan, I had a client meeting in Abu Dhabi after Iftar. After breaking my fast and having a meal, I realized that driving 280 km on the E11 highway brings a completely different kind of fatigue than on a normal day. The post-meal drowsiness that sets in…
There is a moment every time I open the sliding door of a viano mercedes when the outside world just disappears. I have experienced this in the middle of Dubai traffic, at the airport drop-off lane, and parked outside a mall in Abu Dhabi. The cabin wraps around you cool leather, quiet engine hum, and…
If you have ever spent December in Dubai, you already know this city does not do anything halfway. The skyline gets wrapped in fairy lights, hotels go all out with massive Christmas trees in their lobbies, and your inbox fills up with invites before you have even thought about what to wear.
