Why i love dubai
By Josephine Quintero, Author
I lived in Kuwait for seven years and thought I was pretty savvy about the Arab way of life�
How wrong I was� Dubai is a real one-off and full of surprises� There is nothing mundane or
matter-of-fact about this place; it is all about drama and extremes – from the architecture
to the weather to the food... Ah, the food! I also love the fact that there is a burgeoning,
innovative art scene here and in Abu Dhabi� Discovering some fabulous galleries in the
dusty Al-Quoz district was a real high point for me – along with travelling to the top of the
Burj Khalifa, that is!
