Abu Dhabi’s business boom is worth taking seriously—but a growing economy is not a business plan. I would look at the capital for its financial district, industrial infrastructure and startup support, then ask a tougher question: which of those advantages will actually help my customers, costs or hiring? The right answer is different for an…

How Long Should You Stay in the UAE? Trip & Visa Guide

For a first UAE holiday, I would start with seven to ten days: enough room for Dubai, an Abu Dhabi day or overnight, and some time that is not spent racing between bookings. Three or four days works for a focused city break; two weeks suits a slower, multi-emirate trip. Those are my planning recommendations—not…

Where Is Spinneys From? Origin, Owner & UAE History

Spinneys is originally from Alexandria, Egypt. British Army officer Arthur Rawdon Spinney established the brand there in 1924. It is not originally Lebanese, British or Emirati—although each description captures part of its later story.

Versace Upcycle: The Kids’ Designs I Love—and What Buyers Should Check

Versace Upcycle is an archive children’s capsule built around unused production and recycled materials—not a newly confirmed 2026 UAE launch. The design is the fun part: acid green, orange straps, animal print and a chunky patterned sole. I love that it refuses to make material reuse look apologetic. These are shoes that want to be…

Best Nightclubs in the UAE: Dubai and Abu Dhabi Guide

My UAE nightclub shortlist starts with the music and the room—not an old door price. A Meydan club session, a rooftop night and a theatrical dinner need different plans. Choose the named event and current address before settling the table. The scene changes quickly, and a familiar brand in an old hotel does not make…
