This spacious villa has been upgraded completely – and boasts unique features and fittings throughout. From the polished wooden floors to the living room’s spectacular light fixture, you’ll find top-quality finishes at every turn. On arrival, guests will be welcomed by a grand entrance area, with a separate living area which has space for family and friends aplenty.

Cooks will love the modern fitted kitchen, which features branded built-in appliances and a generously-sized prepararation area. The family area looks out over a beautiful landscaped garden, complete with secure gated pool, a barbecue area and space for children to play.

Upstairs, four bedrooms await: each with views of the garden and community. You’ll find an en suite bathroom adjoining every bedroom, and a Juliet balcony from the main July 2013

bedroom too. Built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage space, and maid’s quarters can be converted into a guest area or quiet study too.

This is a great house for large families, and kids of all ages will love the indoor games room while the weather is too hot to head outside. The communal areas within the development feature play areas and shared gardens galore, and the landscaping is established too (so there are plenty of fullgrown trees and blossoming borders).

Here, you’re within easy reach of Sheikh Zayed Road, and it’s a quick 10-minute drive to Media City, Dubai Marina and the beach. There are plenty of schools and facilities near the neighbourhood too, and shops and amenities in The Meadows Village Center are finished and open for business.

The property has two covered parking spaces.

I love this place...

Green Community, Dubailand The Seikaly family invites us into one of Dubai’s most family-friendly neighbourhoods Words by Grace Hyne; images by Nasir Rauf

For Reem Nassar-Seikaly, Green Community in MotorCity offers everything that a family could wish for. Along with her husband Gaby, two daughters Sabrina and Samantha and son Samir, she immediately fell in love with its family-friendly atmosphere. “We think the layout and the facilities here are great,” she explains, whilst sipping coffee in the spacious living room. “You know the kids are safe when they go around the community on their bikes or meet up with friends in the park and play football.”

The community was complete when they arrived, but the surrounding area has since developed further – and now boasts everything from play areas and laser tag (at the local Autodrome) through to music and sport classes. And with Spinneys, a pharmacy, dry cleaners, and restaurants nearby, it’s no wonder Reem fell head over heels for the area.

The family love spending time outside, so the lush expanses of the Green Community offer respite from city life during the cooler months. “When you’re here you feel like you’re away, almost like you’re at a weekend house,” she says. “It’s a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere.” The townhouse is also close to the pool and park, and situated on a dead-end road – far away from traffic noise.

‘When you’re here you feel like you’re away, almost like you’re at a weekend house’ Reem is the co-owner and founder of Zenia Home, a catalogue- and onlinebased company which provides hotels and restaurants with custom-made furniture and accessories. She manages the business with long-time friend Rula Farrell, who pops in to say hello while we chat. The pair established the business in 2009, and it’s a truly successful labour of love: today, their clients include the likes of Kempinski Hotel Ajman and Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa. Interior design is clearly a real passion for Reem, and the family teases her gently for changing the layout of their home every two weeks. “It has to be comfortable,” she says. “That’s why we have lots of dark and older-looking wood furniture.”

Hunting for pieces in Crate and Barrel and THE One is one of Reem’s favourite pastimes, but personal and sentimental touches are most important to her. “I really like pieces that mean something – like a painting from a family member, or a little trinket. A house has to collect memories, so I welcome anything that has meaning. It accumulates over years; even if the colours or style may not match, a home has to have a story.”

Reem often finds her favourite items while travelling – and one of her most treasured possessions is from a trip to Japan that she took with her husband.

“It was really amazing,” she recalls. “We got to go to a Sumo match, explore food markets and eat at restaurants where there was no one but Japanese people. It was a real taste of the culture, and I got four trinkets that signify health, good luck and happiness. I had them framed and put them in the dining room as a reminder.”

The garden of the house needed lots of work when the family moved in, but Reem knew exactly how to revamp it. She transformed the plot with two levels of tiles, a pergola, and an enchanting mix of wooden slats and fabric. She planted leafy trees and shrubs suited to the unforgiving weather, and finished the space with furniture from her own company.

During the hot summer months, however, Reem’s favourite place to relax is the living room. “It’s comfortable, and it’s where we all meet up. It’s the centre of the home. But it’s not just about the room – it’s the people inside it. Friends are always welcome: I don’t expect them to knock on my door but to just open it and walk in. My house is always open to friends – that is what makes it a home.”

Dubailand: the essentials

Your need-to-know guide to what’s in and around the area Renting & buying

Leisure time

Shopping & eating

Schooling

Home to over 100,000 residents, this ever-growing area has a wealth of living options for those looking for an abode on the outskirts of the city. Within the development, communities include Layan, Al Waha, The Villa, Remraam, Victory Heights, MotorCity, Arabian Ranches and the exclusive Al Barari area. While there are no highrises here, there are plenty of options to both rent and buy a variety of villas – from Mediterranean-style houses to eco-friendly villas. Families tend to go for the many multibedroom abodes on offer and, as a result, the area has a vibrant community atmosphere – in many parts, at least.

Dubailand has activities to amuse all ages: from November to March, head to its Global Village (where you can find curios from around the world) for eclectic shopping, the Al Sahra Desert Resort Equestrian Centre for riding lessons, and – for some adrenaline-pumping fun – motor racing at MotorCity, to name a few. Sport lovers will love Dubai Sports City and Arabian Ranches Polo Club but it’s the planned amenities that are set to put the area on the map. These include the City of Arabia mall and theme park, Dubai Lifestyle City (with golf courses and deluxe properties), and camping area Dubailand Desert Experience.

With over 50 shops, boutiques and eateries, the MotorCity retail strip is a favourite with shoppers. For hunting down unique finds, the weekly Friday markets have a distinctly European feel. If you’re looking for something even more intriguing, Global Village fits the bill: retailers from all over the world sell their wares (and scrumptious international fare) at bargain prices. And for those looking for more mainstream shopping, the Dubai Outlet Mall is perfect for finding designer goods on the cheap – from fashion and accessories through to electronic games, you can get lost for hours browsing the shops on offer.

For little ones, there's Chubby Cheeks Nursery (chubbycheeksnursery.com), the third branch of which has just opened in Green Community.

The Children's Garden (TCG, childrensgarden.ae), a Taaleem school, is a handy local choice for pre-nursery to KG2. Greenfield Community School (GCS, gcschool.ae) takes children from nursery to higher education. It is a Taaleem school, and is one of only five schools in the world to offer all four International Baccalaureate programmes.

The Millennium School, by GEMS (gemsmillenniumschool. com) is also very well-regarded, educating pupils from KG to Grade 12.

Facts and figures: AED220,000 per annum, 4,176 sq.ft Contact: BH consultant Victoria Rushton and quote reference number VI3073

Dubai’s residential property prices rose by 9.2% in the first quarter of this year. This was stated in a report by Knight Frank, a global property consultancy with a presence in the UAE. It was the second best-performing property market in the world, out of a total of 55 markets researched.

Only China beat Dubai, with an impressive 10.7% price rise.

If taken on an annual basis, this would give a projected price rise of 21% for 2013. If the rising trend carries on through to the end of the year, it would be a second year of price growth. However, it is important to put this price rise in context. Prices fell by 60% from 2008 to 2011 before they started to rise again. That means that a property priced at AED2 million in Q2 of 2008 fell to AED800,000 by Q4 2011.

This same property rose by 22%

in 2012 to AED976,000 and is projected to rise by another 21% to AED 1,181,000. This still leaves the price 41% below the 2008 peak – a hefty drop. This fact was also emphasised by a recent Deutche Bank report on the UAE property market.

‘The UAE stock market has been upgraded to “emerging market” status‘ There are many other developments that will help to boost Dubai's property prices and the overall economy. New York-based Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) index upgraded the UAE stock markets to an 'emerging market' status. This upgrade

has come at an encouraging time. It will bring AED1.8 billion of investment flow into the country's stock markets as major global fund managers will apportion one percent of their fund-investment into the UAE for the mere fact that it is listed as an emerging market stock on the MSCI index. The investments will grow to AED11 billion annually in the near future as other investors and regional funds follow the lead from the bigger players on the market.

This development has prompted the Dubai and Abu Dhabi stock markets to look at a possible merger. The increase in investments in the stock markets will result in more IPO and M&A activity, therefore boosting the overall economy and – as a result – the realestate markets too. independentuae.com July 2013

STAYTHISSAFE SUMMER

EUROTEK EXPLAINS

1 The last phone call you ever want to receive when you are miles away is news that your house has been broken into, or there is a river flowing out from under your front-door.

Implement these simple safeguards so that you can enjoy a stress-free summer when you leave your apartment or villa unoccupied during the holidays.

KEEP THIEVES AT BAY

Did you know that 400,000 burglaries take place in the US between November and December each year, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Whilst the statistics may not be as stark in the UAE, the summer exodus can leave your home exposed, if you allow it to. In Dubai, the local police are happy to keep an eye on your property while you are away.

This can be done by following these simple steps a) Go to the Dubai Police website, www.dubaipolice.gov.ae and fill in the home-security programme application form. b) Police will contact you to confirm details.

This free home-safety service, in which officers keep registered homes under surveillance while inhabitants are away, is available only for villas.

Don’t forget to unsubscribe from it once you return, which may be done online or in person.

2

STAY CLOSE TO NEIGHBOURS

If you have a good relationship with a neighbour, leave them a copy of your key in case of emergency – or at least your contact info while you’re away and the phone number of someone locally who has a key.

LOCK UP It sounds almost too simple to mention. But I know somebody who left the latch off her bedroom window in Jumeirah by mistake and her entire safety deposit box was removed. Fortunately, the culprits were found and she retrieved her belongings, but this happy ending is the exception rather than the rule.

SECURE SLIDING GLASS Sliding glass windows and doors require special care to be really secure. Luckily the fix is simple;

just cut a wooden pole or thick dowel to fit in the groove of the tracks when the door is shut, and lay it in before you leave.

This won’t stop someone from shattering the glass, but it will make your home a less desirable target.

-Keep the gardener coming. Not only will it be a relief to come home to a tidy garden but maintaining a normal level of care will help give your house a lived-in look while you are gone.

UPDATE YOUR INSURANCE The last thing you want is to have a break in and find you’ve let the insurance slip because you missed the last payment. Sort it before you leave.

3

AVOID DAMAGE WHILE YOU ARE AWAY

Some of the items in these checklists might not be applicable to you, but better safe than sorry.

DReplace back-up batteries in fire alarms, automatic watering systems, thermostats, security systems.

DPut away any outside garden furniture so that it does not get dusty and damaged by the sun. If you have a hot tub, keep the water in it as the sun could damage the lining if it is emptied.

DIf you will be turning the refrigerator off while you are gone, empty it but leave the doors open while you are gone for circulation.

DIf you’ll be leaving the refrigerator on while you are away, toss any foods that will spoil. You can keep items like condiments and water in the refrigerator. A working refrigerator that is nearly empty uses more energy, so add bottles of water.

DOpen the doors to the washer and dryer, the dishwasher, and any other appliance that typically seals up. Put a few spoonfuls of vegetable oil in the dishwasher so the seals

don’t disintegrate in the heat. Make sure everything is spotlessly clean to prevent infestation.

DKeep all cupboard doors open so that air circulates and your clothes don’t go mouldy.

DTurn the water heater off.

DIf you are leaving a car in the garage, disconnect the battery.

You might want to cover the vehicle to protect it from dust.

DRemove propane tanks and combustible/flammable chemicals from the garage.

DEven if you will be turning off the main water valve to the house, you can still water the plants. Set your irrigation timer appropriately for summer heat so all your shrubs and trees aren’t dead when you return.

DIf you have a pool, arrange for a pool service to handle the maintenance while you are away. Your pool should be thoroughly cleaned before you leave. It is important to maintain the pool regularly. A reliable pool maintenance service should check every 7 to 10 days to make sure the pool pH and chemical balance are correct. Untreated or under-treated water will result in algae growth. Do not drain the pool as the sun can dry it out and cause it to crack.

DGot houseplants? They probably won’t be alive when you return, so lend them to a friend to take care of them.

DWater from drains and toilets will evaporate and add to the moisture in the house. If all moisture from drain evaporates, sewer gas can come into the home. Drain stoppers should be closed and toilets and tank tops sealed with plastic wrap.

4

AIR CONDITIONING CONSIDERATIONS

If there’s one thing that should always remain in mint condition, then it’s the air conditioning as a faulty cooling system can obliterate all the holiday feel-good mood. There is no reason to keep the air conditioning blasting whilst you are away. However set it at a high setting and a periodic air conditioning operation will remove moisture from your home.

PROFESSIONAL CHECK-UP LOWDOWN DClean the blower wheel and coil.

DCheck the temperature drop across the cooling coil and add refrigerant if needed.

DAdjust tension on belts.

DCheck the thermostat.

DInspect wiring and connections.

DClean the condensate pan and pipe.

DCheck the operation of motors.

DChange or wash air conditioning filter. An accumulation of dirt plus the summer heat and humidity can cause mildew and mould growth which can spread through the house.

To keep the system in good condition and to prevent excessive energy use, just before you leave is a good time for an air conditioner check-up by a professional.

Do your homework. Choose a reputed company with staff qualified in cooling systems maintenance. Serving the community since 2006, Eurotek’s 60-strong professional team are experts when it comes to preventive maintenance as well as when emergency strikes.

Our team is also happy to drive by your house for a small fee each month to remove unwanted flyers, check the outside of the house for any signs of attempted break in and ensure there is no water running down from the roof or leak in the garden.

Aside from expertise in all air-conditioning systems, Eurotek can handle plumbing, electrical and swimming pool upkeep. Affordable and comprehensive annual maintenance packages which cover not only air conditioning but any other maintenance required or emergencies you may face.

So now you know what you need to do in order to limit your chances of facing unpleasant surprises when you return back to Dubai ■

Scandinavia grows greater!

Mille Notti, Bed Factory, L:a Bruket and Secto among other new brands are moving into D.tales at the same time as their new showroom opens up on Jumeirah Beach Road in Dubai. In addition to the Jumeirah store another one will open in Abu Dhabi later this year. Rumor has it that D.tales has caught the eye of the famous Swedish design team TAF Architects who have designed the new showroom interiors for D.tales’ Jumeirah store.

Through the new stores and web shop D.tales will bring a whole new Scandinavian interior experience to the Middle East. Their already established brands Muuto, &tradition, Design House Stockholm and Minus Tio are complemented by new brands like One Nordic, Källemo and Örsjö.

We got a taste of the new D.tales at Index and therefore cannot wait to see their brand new showrooms!

Keep children amused indoors with these crafty capers from kiddy-care experts

Royal Beach Nursery These activities can be adapted easily to suit kids of any age.

While they’re playing, your children will be developing their fine motor skills, number and letter recognition, maths readiness and vocabulary.

Tip: When helping your child with their activity, introduce new vocabulary such as: huge, enormous, fossil, damp, fluorescent, etc…

Number shaker This is a great way to make small children feel more at ease with numbers. Use it as a method of learning the forms of the numbers (they can practice writing each one when it comes up), or as a stimulus for times tables. For older children, encourage them to do mental arithmetic with the numbers.

What you will need: • Plastic bottle • Glitter • Food colouring • Laminated number print-outs • Charms (optional) • Masking tape or electrical tape

1. Take your clear plastic bottle and half fill it with water.

2. Add a few drops of food colouring, and add glitter and charms.

3. Shake the bottle and insert your laminated numbers.

4. Return the top, and tighten and secure with masking tape or electrical tape.

July 2013

Clay letters What you will need: • Modelling clay (available in most big supermarkets and craft stores) • Rolling pin, shape cutters • Paint, paint brushes (for painting and dusting the clay) • Glitter • Large clear box • Sand and spade

1. Roll out the clay until it is 1cm thick, then use the cutters to make shapes. When

you have 26 shapes, fire them in the oven (follow the instructions on the packet).

2. Paint the shapes, and write a letter on each one. If you’ve got lots of children to entertain, divide up the letters, or get the whole family involved in decorating their own.

3. When the paint is dry, hide the letters in a box of sand and go on an ‘archaeological dig.’

Encourage kids to think of words that begin with the letters they find, or to arrange a selection into words. rbnursery.net

‘This is a great way to help kids to learn how to write numbers’

Bloomin’ buttons

Mirath Center

Your kids can create summery bloom-inspired art and Ramadan decorations with a few simple bits and bobs…

What you will need: • 26-gauge green florists’ wire (from florists and garden centres) • Colourful buttons

1. Thread an eight-inch length of wire up through a stack of colourful buttons, then back down – securing them in a colourful sandwich.

2. Twist the wire just below the stack to secure it, then insert the little flower into a pot or the soil of a house plant. mirathcenter.com

Homemade doilies These are perfect for decorating the dinner table for an Iftar gathering, or can be hung in windows for a dappled light effect. This is a good way to get older children involved in the preparations – although make sure that they’re always supervised with scissors.

Mathnasium

These maths problems will keep older kids entertained for hours.

To see the answers, turn the page upside down…

1. How many halves in ten?

How many thirds in ten?

2. How many twos in one half?

3. Arrange in order from smallest to largest: 3.5 days, 72 hours, 3,600 minutes.

4. What is another name for 23 quarters?

5. James is sixth in line. There are five persons between Ruth and James. Ruth is what place in the line?

6. Three candies cost 35 cents.

How much do 24 candies cost?

7. Do you think 125,700 is divisible exactly by 25?

8. The results of a game when you play against a friend is to win, lose, or draw. What is the probability to win this game?

9. The time shown in the clock is 12:45 am. What will be the time after 144 hours?

10. What is the multiple of all numbers?

11. What is the factor of all numbers?

12. Recyclers pay five cents for every two aluminum cans. How many cans can they buy for $5?

13. How many eggs are there in 12 dozen?

14. Chapter 7 in a book starts on page 150 and ends on page 180. How many pages are there in Chapter 7? mathnasium.ae

What you will need: • Square sheet of plain paper (30cm x 30cm) • Glitter glue • Sharp scissors

1. Fold the paper in half diagonally to make a triangle, and fold it in half again to make an even smaller triangle.

You may want to fold it in half again, to make the design even more intricate.

2. Snip 5-10 small triangles, squares or half circles into the sides of the paper – the smaller the incisions are, the more detailed the design will be.

3. Unfold, iron flat under a teatowel, and decorate.

Better... living rooms Relax in style with these luxurious designs

Sleek sitting room If you’re not a fan of fuss, this pared-down design cuts through the clutter. We love the sleek white furniture from Couture (left, couture.ae), with its curvaceous modern shapes. Team it with neutral-coloured walls (if you haven’t got sticky-fingered children, white is very striking), but choose an accent colour to highlight a select few features. Here, green gives a fresh aesthetic – perfect for bringing the outside in while the weather’s at its hottest. Soften the room with floor-to-ceiling chiffon curtains and a luxurious deep-pile rug. If you’ve a large space to play with, invest in a funky geometric room divider, and make a statement with playful light fixtures.

Couture

Luxurious lounge Nothing says luxury – especially in Dubai – quite like golden interior design. But choosiness is key: select just five or six gilded accessories (think cushions, coffee tables and lamps), and combine them with understated colours and tones. This neutral living room collection from West Elm (right, westelm.com) is the perfect match, and the sleek shapes and high-quality finish add an instantly classy feel. Adorn white or cream walls with tasteful modern art, and decorate tabletops with glossy books and sculptural candles.

‘We can’t think of a better place to stretch out than this oversized sofa from Pan Emirates... Who could resist sinking into its cushions?’

Cosy crash-pad Living rooms are all about relaxing: there’s no point designing one that you don’t feel comfortable in. We can’t think of a better place to stretch out than this oversized sofa from Pan Emirates (left, panemirates.com).

Who could resist sinking into its cushions after a hard day at work? Treat your feet to a luxuriously soft rug, and snuggle up with cushions aplenty too. Vintage-style artwork works well with this design, but for a more family-orientated feel create a collage of favourite snaps, and pile your treasured novels onto a weathered wooden bookcase.

Pan Emirates

Laid-back library This functional, pared-back design from Marina Home (left, marinagulf.com) is perfect for a bachelor pad. Booklovers will enjoy filling up its massive bookcase with favourite tomes, and reclining on the soft leather sofa to read. If space is limited, you can use the central coffee table as handy secret storage, and there are concealed draws built into the bookcase too. Complete the look with industrial-feel decor (experiment with paint effects to acheive a weathered finish), a hard-wearing rug, and low-level lighting for reading and socialising long into the night...

Ask the experts Practical solutions for domestic dilemmas

“Back home, we recycled everything, but here in Dubai it seems a lot more difficult. We’re worried about our carbon footprint, but nobody else seems to care. How can we lead a more environmentally friendly life?”

- Melissa and Tom, Uptown Mirdif

seArch out the recycling bAnk Colette Shannon, communications manager, Spinneys “Spinneys has been actively involved in recycling waste since 1994. Here, environmentally-minded customers can dispose of their glass, paper, aluminium and plastic, safe in the knowledge that it won’t end up in landfill. You’ll find our recycling banks at selected Spinneys stores, including those in Umm Suqeim, Ramada and Trade Centre Road in Dubai, and in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi. In addition to recycling household waste, we recommend shopping locally (cutting down on pollution and fuel costs), re-using aluminium foil (recycling 1kg of aluminium can save up to 8kg of bauxite, the mineral used to make it, as well as 4kg of chemicals and 14 kilowatt hours of electricity), and replacing ordinary light bulbs with energy-efficient bulbs (and always turning off lights when you leave the room).” spinneys-dubai.com

trAnsform food into fertiliser Gundeep Singh, CEO & founder, The Change Initiative “Our Bokashi compost bins are great for the environment and easy to use. Simply put all of your food waste into the bin, and it transforms it into rich, organic compost. There is no complicated technology and no odour. ‘Bokashi’ is Japanese for ‘fermented organic matter’, and the bins provide a simple method of producing compost in your kitchen. The Bokashi is made by inoculating bran with a variety of beneficial bacteria or microorganisms; these microbes pickle your food waste instead of letting it rot, creating liquid plant food and wonderful compost in the process. They are airtight, so the waste won’t attract pests, and every bucket is made from recycled plastic. Not only will you be reducing your landfill contribution, but you’ll be saving money on garden fertiliser too.” thechangeinitiative.com

upgrAde your interiors Ellie Wauters, interior designer, Dubai “Upcycling is becoming extremely popular these days, and it’s a great way to refresh furniture you might otherwise want to throw away. You can find hidden treasures at flea markets, on Dubizzle, or even the garage of your own home. I often like to paint old items to give them a new lease of life: Pinterest is a great source for ideas and inspiration. Turning something old into a functional, modern design can bring you much more satisfaction than buying an over-priced item of furniture. With a quick sand-down and a lick of paint, you can have a beautiful key piece for just a few Dirhams. If you’re handy with a sewing machine (or know someone who is), you can turn old, off-cut fabrics into unique cushions.”

056 2640434, elliewauters.com

5 of the best... monochrome marvels Quirky black and white wonders from wysada.com

My style

Essential interiors inspiration – whatever your taste ‘Everything in the natural world has a purpose to it, and I really identify with that’

Reza Nikzad The managing director of Walls & Floors and new interiors shop Nouqoush is inspired by nature in my interior design, i strive for a combination of aesthetic elegance and practical beauty. I take inspiration from nature, the seasons and all aspects of life itself. Everything in the natural world has a purpose and symmetry to it, which I really identify with. i love the work of designer karim Rashid and architect zaha Hadid. Most of their creations are mind bogglingly simplistic, yet unique.

Nouqoush is a new venture, but the concept of the store has unending possibilities.

It gives you a chance to be your own designer, and we have collected a fantastic range of wallpaper and flooring options.

My favourite place in my home is the living room: it is where I mingle with family and friends, break bread and unwind after a long day. i’m always working on my interior design: at the moment, I am selecting some wallpaper for the living room and guest room, as I want to change the colour to affect the mood of the spaces.

i like to put my personality into my home with a mix of colours, and a variety of beautiful objects. Displaying an array of carefully-chosen items is a fantastic outlet for personal expression: it’s all about portraying your mood and exploring the various seasons of life. i am passionate about beautiful flooring – whether that’s a lovely carpet or rich wooden panels. It is always a pleasure to encounter, and can really enhance a room. i adore the Persian rug in my living room – the feeling of sinking my feet into it after a hard day at work has a truly therapeutic effect. wallsandfloors.com

We love... cartoon crockery Senegalese glass painting caught the eye of Dubaibased designer Mimi Shakashir immediately. “Glass painting is a typical Senegalese art,” she explains. “It was taken up by the African culture, and infused with the colours of daily life. I was introduced to it by a collector friend, and was so intrigued that I got in touch with a group of artists in Senegal so I could commission my own designs.” On her new website, Mimi sells the ‘Big Mama’ pieces (right) that originally inspired her, as well as her own Arabic-inspired designs. kaleidoscopebymimi.com

Breaking the fast Prepare a lavish Iftar feast with these exclusive recipes from Imperium at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Throughout the Holy Month, the Imperium team is led by closely by Chef Musabeh Al Kaabi, an Emirati chef with years of experience in preparing both traditional and modern Arabic delicacies. The secret to a healthy and nourishing spread is balance: from light yet calorie-rich foods to break the fast, to richer dishes that are perfect for sharing. “It is an honor to be part of such a cultural event in the Middle East,” says Chef Al Kaabi. “I savour every moment of the experience. With such a multinational mix of colleagues at the restaurant, it is a great learning experience for everyone. Many of our guests are experiencing Ramadan for the first time, so it is very important for us to portray the true spirit of the occasion, and provide the best in Arabian hospitality.” jumeirah.com

The large burnt-brick cladded façade and walls, industrial over-head beams and dark iron framed glass frontage feel thoroughly cosmopolitan.

Locations: You’ll find Marina Home all over the UAE and GCC. For more information and store locations, visit marinagulf.com
