Dubai Spoilt My Chances of Living Anywhere Else

April 18, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

I was thinking about this the other day actually; living in Dubai, and quite possibly the rest of the UAE, really skews your sense of reality. There’s the real world, then there’s Dubai. Unless you have lived there, or, perhaps even in West Africa, then you really won’t get it. Here are five things I …

A Stay at Doubletree Hilton Jumeirah Beach

January 29, 2016March 25, 2016 by Nimi

I decided to stay at the Doubletree Hilton Jumeirah Beach during my last week in Dubai whilst I wrapped up the last portion of my relocation. So, after packing up the belongings I planned to take back to the UK and handing over the keys to my landlord, I found myself sitting in about two …

My Afternoon Tea at Al Bayt, The Palace Downtown Dubai

June 11, 2015March 28, 2016 by Nimi

Considering all I do is drink tea all day long (just ask the guys at Starbucks, Al Shaya Building, Dubai!), it’s almost impossible for me to believe that I have only been to an afternoon tea once in my life. Actually it was just last year, early December back in Dubai. After a lot of …

It’s funny, but since I left the UAE three months ago, a few of my friends have suddenly decided to visit within a short space of time and have asked me: A) Are you still there? B) What can I do whilst I’m in the UAE? My list covers just five places that I think …

Leaving Dubai and Heading Back Home

May 12, 2015May 29, 2017 by Nimi

I decided to write this post after a recent development that stemmed from my leaving Dubai. I knew, when I realised that it was time to part ways with the UAE, that I would have to close down all my accounts, such as my bank, electricity and water (DEWA) and Internet (Du) as required by …

Renting in Dubai

April 20, 2015May 29, 2017 by Nimi

In the generic post I wrote about Dubai, I touched upon the topic and the issues I faced renting my apartments. In this post I’m going into more detail using not just my experience, but those of my friends too. It might be long, but hopefully it will be of some use to anyone planning …

A Trip to Ripe Market, Dubai

March 22, 2015May 29, 2017 by Nimi

I discovered Ripe Market towards the end of my time in Dubai; which is a shame, because I enjoyed the concept so much, that I went twice. So what is it? Simply put, a weekly organic food market as well as art and crafts fair. To be honest, I am more interested in the clothing, …

Things I Wish I Had Known Before Moving to Dubai

March 5, 2015June 5, 2017 by Nimi

Thinking of moving to Dubai? I lived there for three years. I think friends had visions of me enjoying a glamorous lifestyle when they discovered that I had relocated to the UAE. Whilst I did have a good time, the first nine months were tough. As it turns out, the reality is very different to …
