1010 Mural, Satwa

The German artist whose layered colour portals appear to open holes straight through the wall.

Dubai

18b Street Murals, Karama

Twenty-four murals above the 'handbag street' souk — 3D illusions, falcons and a floating green pickup, painted over one hot summer.

Dubai

Address Sky View — The Sky Bridge

A three-storey sky bridge slung 220 metres above Downtown, joining twin towers with a cantilevered glass Skywalk and infinity pool.

Dubai

Al Fahidi Wind Towers

Dubai's oldest neighbourhood, where coral-stone lanes are crowned with barjeel wind towers — air-conditioning from before electricity.

Dubai

Al Jaddaf Dhow Building Yard

Dubai's last working dhow yard on the Creek, where craftsmen still build wooden ships by hand as they have for a century.

Dubai

Al Seef Promenade

Nearly two kilometres of Dubai Creek waterfront split in two — a re-aged heritage village on one side, glass-and-steel pavilions on the other.

CMPLX to Bring a New Creative Playground to Dubai's Al Quoz This Year

A seven-warehouse lifestyle hub combining food, wellness, retail and creative studios is set to open in Al Quoz Creative Zone by the end of 2026, adding a new anchor to the neighbourhood built around Alserkal Avenue.

CMPLX, a new warehouse-style lifestyle destination combining food, wellness, retail and creative studios, is set to open in Dubai's Al Quoz Creative Zone by the end of 2026 — adding a fresh anchor to a neighbourhood already defined by Alserkal Avenue's galleries and cultural spaces.

Rooms of an abandoned village filling with sand, doorways half-buried, low houses in a line under a pale sky.

The Night Is Not for Humans: Umm Al Duwais and the Women of Emirati Folklore

A village half-buried in sand an hour from Dubai, a name that means "she of the little sickle," and what Emirati sources actually say.

The houses at Al Madam went up around 1980 and stood empty by the mid-1990s. People will tell you she lives there — not in the old stories, though. That attachment is recent, and it is the interesting part.

A host pours Arabic coffee from a dallah into a small handle-less finjan cup in a majlis

Riyadh · Saudi Arabia

The Coffee Ritual That Ran the Desert

A cup of coffee in the desert was a contract, a test, a truce, and a promise of protection — a whole social order in the tilt of a small white cup.

Among the Bedouin of Arabia, serving coffee was never just hospitality — it was a code. The order of the cups, the amount poured, the shake of the wrist that says enough: a whole unwritten language for turning a dangerous stranger into a guest, and sometimes an ally. The story of Arabic coffee as the social law of the desert — and how it lives on in the region's museums and art.

A strand of natural Gulf pearls, the luxury export that built the Arabian Gulf before oil

Manama · Bahrain

The Sea That Came Before the Oil: The History of the Pearl

Eight thousand years before the first barrel, the Gulf had already built a global economy — out of an oyster, a held breath, and a rope.

Before oil, the Arabian Gulf ran on the pearl: a global luxury trade that raised its cities from the sand, drew fortunes and real suffering in equal measure, and then vanished almost overnight. The story of the industry that made the modern Gulf — and the quiet way it is coming back.

Why Gulf Cities Are So White: Beyond the Physics - Gulf cities look white

Dubai · United Arab Emirates

Why Gulf Cities Are So White

The dazzling white of Gulf cities looks like simple physics — sunlight, reflected. The real story runs through coral, lime, faith, oil and the way traditions acquire their reasons after the fact.

Everyone knows why Gulf cities are white: white reflects the sun. It isn't wrong — it's just one strand of a much thicker rope. Follow it back through coral walls and lime skins, a sustainability code that never mentions colour, and a desert that was never really dark and the tidy explanation starts to look like something we tell ourselves afterward.
