Salam Aleikum!

Almost a year later, someone’s reawakened from the long slip back into blogging silence. Indeed, procrastination got the better of me to the point that I left this personal space slumbering.

The shame.

As you might have gathered from the other content sharing platforms I have, I am residing in UAE now and instinctively converting dirhams to my home currency. Aside from that, I’m so pleased to presently impart to you that I’ve ended the hopping from one emirate to the other, boldy carrying my luggage on buses and metro, living out of a suitcase period. Alhamdulillah!

This side of the world has always been a not so distantly desert place from where I was. My thoughts have always painted it as a good holiday destination and shopping haven but never a preferred location of work. But God just has His best plans. He just knows where to land my ceaselessly wanting to explore nomadic feet.

Now here’s some sporadic snaps baring what and where I’ve been to whilst being MIA which I’ve stockpiled to myself if not shared elsewhere.


Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi with its impressive architecture

One of Dubai's iconic towers, Burj Al Arab alongside tourists if not beachgoers

Mall-walking under the charming arched iron-glass roof of the Mall of Emirates

Dubai Mall, among other things, comes complete with attractions like this Divers Fountain, a colossal aquarium and astounding daily fountain shows.

Probably my favorite road in all of UAE. Such an eyeful concrete jungle.


Dubai copping every famous world landmark in Global Village

Around the world in less than 24 hours. This is how you do it.

Literally soaring high with flying colors

The art of looking at art

The cARTel

At Alserkal Avenue. Super glad I discovered this creative hub.

I'm not sure if I'm done with my tourist phase but with all of the many fascinating things there are and the great new people I have met, it seems that this mecca of visually first-class man-made world is acceptable although hey, that is until real life punches back with the fact that Saturdays, if not 24/7, are still work days. Absorb that for a second.

Ma’a Salama!
