THINGS TO D O AT DX B Get that holiday feeling before you’ve reached your gate with five ways to enjoy the airport

1

Get some sleep

For an uninterrupted power nap book your very own Snooze Cube. Essentially a micro-hotel room, the small soundproof cubicles contain everything you need to get a few hours of sleep comfortably before your flight – a bed, TV, storage and Wi-Fi.

3

Have a shoulder rub

Go shopping

If you haven’t got time for a full spa experience, then hop on a massage chair at Be Relax. They offer different treatments to suit everyone and even do express manicures and pedicures, meaning you can be glam and holiday-ready in record time.

If shopping is your way to relax then Dubai International has you covered.

Whether you’re looking for last-minute souvenirs, need to pick up that camera charger you forgot or want to treat yourself, there’s plenty to find.

Play

Go for a swim

A double win here, as parents can rest while the kids burn off some energy before a long flight. At the Play Zone there are climbing frames, soft play and a chill out area with movies to watch.

A swimming pool in an airport might sound unlikely, but if you head to Dubai International Hotel that’s exactly what you’ll find. Surely there’s no better way to refresh and recharge in-between your flights.

assengers travelling through Dubai International can now browse the latest model of iPod, or get help with their iPhone as Dubai Duty Free became home to not one, but two Apple retail areas last month.

Found near gates B15 and A12, which are accessible from terminal 3, the Apple store in concourse B is the largest in any travel retail in the world, covering 86 square metres, while the other, is 70 square metres.

“This is a very exciting development for Dubai Duty Free and our customers,” said Colm McLoughlin, Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman and CEO. “They will enjoy the design, layout and products, as well as a first-class customer experience and product knowledge.”

Each new shop has its own dedicated staff that has all undergone extensive product training by Apple, and so can help those customers who might be in a hurry to catch their flights.

Passengers can find the full range of Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook range, Apple TV and other Apple accessories.

“Based on our current sales projections, we expect Apple sales to reach Dhs220 million (US$61 million) this year,” McLoughlin explained.

Clearly the UAE is a central hub for Apple in the Middle East. David Chisholm, Apple Director of Sales for Apple Middle East and Africa, was present at the official opening in Concourse B in June, and was joined by senior executives from both Dubai Duty Free and Apple for the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

DX B A N D T H E BAT T L E TO SAV E T H E WO R L D

Ahead of Dubai International’s appearance in the Independence Day sequel this month, we take a look at how Dubai is now a hot destination for Hollywood’s finest filmmakers Words: Louise Quick

I

f you’ve seen the trailer for the longawaited Independence Day sequel, you might have spotted a few familiar sites among the CGI’d mayhem. Not only does the Burj Khalifa come crashing down onto central London, but DXB also makes an appearance, its iconic air traffic control tower becoming a target for the invading alien forces.

But while you may have Jeff Goldblum to thank for making your flight today, what’s not in doubt is that Dubai is rapidly becoming attractive real estate for moviemakers the world over.

Roland Emmerich, the legendary director behind the epic 1996 sci-fi movie, began work on the mega follow-up to 14 DUBAI VOYAGER

Independence Day six years ago and spotted the potential in Dubai even then, explaining that, “in the film business we’re always looking for new frontiers”.

The current alien invasion isn’t the first instance of Dubai’s skyline in the movies, of course, and Star Trek Beyond – also out this month – shot some great scenes here in late 2015. The all-star cast – including Chris Pine, Simon Pegg and Idris Elba – were in town and used hundreds of local extras in their street scenes. The crew allocated Dhs118 million (US$32.13 million) to the filming in Dubai, making it the biggestbudget shoot in the city to date. Executive producer Jeffrey Chernov explained the decision, stating, “We came searching for

the future and found it in Dubai.”

The location shift isn’t confined to Dubai either. The UAE as a whole is making its mark and Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert was recently the set of Jakku in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, while the capital was also the set for some big-time boy racing in The Fast And The Furious 7.

Back in Dubai, however, it seems that in recent years the plan has shifted from it simply being a viable Middle Eastern film location – the 2005 thriller Syriana turned Dubai, very briefly, into Iran – to being a major character in its own right. The Burj Khalifa even landed a spot in a 2013 episode of The Simpsons.

The city’s real debut on the big screen

July 2016

Opposite page: Burj Khalifa crashes into London in Independece Day: Resurgence Left: Tom Cruise clings to Burj Khalifa Right: Dubai’s iconic tower has even made it into The Simpsons Below: The Stars Wars and Fast and Furious franchises have both shot scenes in Abu Dhabi recently

came in 2011, when audiences watched with baited breath as Tom Cruise appeared to precariously hang off the Burj Khalifa in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

According to reports, the four weeks it took to film these scenes brought US$28 million into Dubai.

A year after the film’s release, the Dubai TV And Film Commission was created.

Its intention was – and is – to authorise filming permits but, most importantly, to raise the emirate’s profile as a hot filming destination. Initially it even offered incentives of up to 50 per cent rebates to potential production companies.

Speaking last year when news of Star Trek’s filming was announced, Jamal Al Sharif, chairman of Dubai Film And TV Commission and managing director of Dubai Studio City, said, “Not only will this [movie] shine the spotlight on Dubai and the UAE’s excellent locations, infrastructure and flexibility, but it will significantly boost the UAE’s economy, tourism and entertainment sectors.”

Emirati film director and CEO of D-SEVEN Motion Pictures, Nayla Al Khaja, agrees, “I do believe that the local film industry can benefit from having international productions in Dubai,” she explained to Dubai Voyager.

“Last year we were hired to shoot behind the scenes for Star Trek Beyond, and as a UAE national, my company benefited from

that financially. Perhaps more importantly, we also benefited by working with, and being exposed to, a really high-end level of professionals from different departments of that filmmaking arena.”

In both Star Trek’s latest instalment and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Dubai’s architecture is glorified, while in Independence Day: Resurgence its role is a little different, with its main purpose in the film being a target of the alien attack. As Jeff Goldblum’s character David Levinson says, “They like to get the landmarks.”

But then you’d expect nothing less from Emmerich. The director dominates the epic disaster movie genre, with an impressive portfolio including The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla, 2012 and White House Down. In fact, for a building to be the focus of Emmerich’s CGI destruction is a nod to how iconic it is. This is the man who, through his movies, has blown up the White House twice.

Over the last five years, Dubai has fought to raise its game and become a real player in the film industry. It’s a bold move that has an impact on the economy as much as it does the culture. Considering the exposure it’s getting through two mammoth movies out this month alone, it’s clearly succeeding. If you’re heading into the city this month, then keep an eye out for the cameras… you might just end up being part of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Emirates flies direct to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago every day, where you can pick up the iconic ‘Mother Road’ Route 66 to LA

O

n Route 66, New Mexico, Bob Pack forgot to bring his James Taylor CDs. Still, he and his brother and sister were having a blast, rolling among the sandstone mesas, ghost towns and kitschy tourist attractions.

They reminisced about family trips as children back in the 1950s, Pack and his sister, Joann, said, and not even their brother’s “annoying” habits could ruin the drive. “I wanted to see West Texas one more time,” he said over breakfast at the Route 66 Casino Hotel.

Over in Arizona, Kay McNellen, a 23-year-old actress from San Diego, said she took to the highway almost every weekend these days, just to see how far she could drive. She has motored across the Mojave Desert, admired Sequoia National Forest and Instagrammed the Grand Canyon. “This is a better view than Netflix will give you,” she said.

The great American road trip is back.

It’s partly that petrol this driving season is cheaper than it has been in 11 years, according to the AAA motor club, and that the reviving economy is making people more willing to part with their money.

But there is more than that at play here.

This may be a cultural shift, as Americans experiment with the notion that maybe money can, in fact, buy happiness, at least in the form of adventures and memories.

It is a change that appears to have taken root in the years since the 2008 financial crisis. “Post-recession, people are focused on memories that cannot be taken away from them, as opposed to tangible goods that expire and wear out,” said Sarah Quinlan, a marketing executive at MasterCard Advisors. “There’s a sense that you can take away my job, you can take away my home, but you can’t take away my memories.”

Whatever their motivation, Americans last year drove trillions of kilometers, according to the US Department of Transportation. So far this year, both travel and petrol consumption are up again.

The desire to get behind the wheel still comes as something of a surprise. The conventional wisdom was that driving mileage had probably peaked in 2007. The demographic bulge represented by the DUBAI VOYAGER

baby boomers is aging out of the driving years; people typically drive less as they hit retirement.

At the same time, millennials were not sharing the passion for the open road that previous generations of young adults had. Many, in fact, preferred to live in the nation’s downtowns, eschewing personal cars in favour of shared Ubers or walking to their work and play.

But it turns out that both generations are driving more than anyone expected. “A lot of millennial behaviour was really deferred assimilation,” said Steven E. Polzin, a transportation researcher at the University of South Florida. In other words, just like Mum and Dad, they were destined for a more traditional lifestyle — the marriage, the home, the garage — they just took a little longer to get there.

One such millennial is Jenna Bivone, a 29-year-old website and app designer, who two years ago left downtown Atlanta to live on the outskirts of the city with her boyfriend. “We used to walk everywhere, but the rents were too high, and we wanted some land for my dog,” she said. “In a more suburban area we found good schools, stuff like that for future plans.”

Now she has a daily commute of at least a half-hour each way, and on weekends she and her boyfriend drive around Georgia and neighbouring states looking for the best hiking. Over the past three years, they have taken road trips in Wyoming and Colorado to hike in the national parks.

“When we travel, we want to go to places we might never see again,” she said. “We’re not going to be young forever.”

Michael McNulty, a 67-year-old biotech executive from San Francisco, might not agree with the last part of her statement.

Last year he bought a used Ford Airstream B-190 motor home on Craigslist for $13,000 as an experiment. He and his wife are enjoying the road trips and they are gradually extending their radius.

“The kids’ colleges are paid for, and they are out of the house,” he said. “We’ve been all over the world, and now we’re seeing tour own country.”

The phenomenon is being further amplified by, of all things, a desire in some families for cross-generational adventures that harks back to a halcyon age of 30 DUBAI VOYAGER

L A STO RY We asked Dwayne Johnson for his guide to Los Angeles... and when The Rock tells you to do something, you pay attention

The best tip I could give someone coming to LA for the first time is… if you are going to be there for more than one or two days, rent a car. It’s a pretty spread out city, so if you don’t have a car it’s going to be quite difficult to see everything. Just be prepared that, at some point, you’ll have to sit in some traffic.

Sometimes, you have to get out of the city… for me that’s always been to the Ocean. Not one of the tourist beaches though, it’s always worth driving 30 minutes or so outside the city to find a secluded area, look out to the ocean and just compose your thoughts.

If you’re up for a workout, the city has invested a lot of money in outdoor gyms where people can work out for free – and it’s a great initiative. For location, I would say the best one is just

by Santa Monica Pier. You can have a great workout, and then enjoy everything the area has to offer.

34 DUBAI VOYAGER

Food options in LA are huge… but I recommend Dan Tana’s over on Santa Monica Boulevard. It’s been there for 50 years, and it still has this great old-school style. Plus they do a New York Strip that is just unreal.

July 2016

If you have a half-day layover there’s only one option… go into Hollywood and be a proper tourist. Go and get your photo taken by the sign, do the walk of fame, visit Mann’s Chinese Theatre. It might be pretty obvious stuff, but I guarantee you’ll have a fun time doing it.

This city is known for shopping… and maybe this is kind of an obvious option, but if you’re looking to shop, head to Rodeo Drive. It’s got a great feeling around it and some great shops, just don’t forget your credit cards because you are going to need them.

LA has some great old-school gyms… but based on people that have trained there I would probably have to recommend Gold’s gym on Venice Beach – there’s a reason it’s also known as Muscle Beach. Muhammed Ali trained there, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, it’s actually pretty much more a question of who hasn’t trained there.

If I left this city I’d definitely miss it… there is something undeniably magical about Hollywood.

Not just the movies that are made, but the bartenders, the servers, everybody waiting for their big break. It’s a place you go to dream, and sometimes they come true.

What: Nadi Al Quoz Where: Warehouse 90, Alserkal Avenue When: July 17 to October 29 It’s true that during the summer Dubai tends to slow down, but that also makes it the perfect time to pick up a new hobby or hone an old skill – and that’s where Alserkal Avenue comes in.

The emirate’s trendy creative hub in Al Quoz is launching Nasi Al Quoz, a season of activities and workshops aimed at getting our creative juice flowing and the best news is that it’s completely free.

Running well into autumn, the series of events will be based at Warehouse 90. The space will be open from 10am to 7pm everyday and they hope it’ll act as a meeting spot for Dubai’s creative folk and somewhere to discover more about the UAE’s art scene.

Whether you’re a professional yogi or struggle to touch your toes, everyone’s invited to the weekly yoga classes, starting July 22 and run by popular Business Bay studio Urban Yoga. Or, for something a little different, why not learn the basics of ikebana – that’s the ancient Japanese art of flower arranging – with Dubai’s own master Harue Oki on July 19 and 26?

Joining Harue Oki on the line up is designer and illustrator Layan Attari. From July 23, she’ll be leading groups around Dubai’s lesserknown malls in search of all kinds of subjects to sketch. While, next month, Dubai-based Pakisani-born artist Saba Qizilbash will be running two-part life drawing classes for artists of all levels.

Everyone and anyone is welcome to get involved, but while the classes are free, many have limited spaces so be sure to sign up online first or drop an email to nadi.al.quoz@gmail.com. So now there’s no excuse to fall into a creative rut this summer. alserkalavenue.ae

GETTING AROUND So you’ve arrived in Dubai, but what next? Here are the best ways to get around the city

TAXI All terminals at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC) have their own official 24/7 taxi rank. Your taxi metre will begin at Dhs25 (Dhs10 anywhere else in the city) and has a rate of Dhs1.92 per kilometre.

Expect to pay Dhs60 from DXB to Downtown and Dhs110 to Dubai Marina. The pink-topped taxis have female drivers and are for women and families.

TRAM The tram starts near the Palm Jumeirah, travels down Al Sufouh Road past Media City and into the marina, where it loops around close to the beach at JBR.

METRO The Dubai Metro is clean, air-conditioned and linked directly to Terminal 1 and 3 with clear signposts. The trains run roughly every 10 minutes from 5.50am (10am on Friday) to midnight (1am on Thursday and Friday).

You can buy your ticket at the station and the price will vary depending on how many zones you cross. Alternatively, buy a Dhs20 Nol card and top it up as you go.

For Downtown and Dubai Marina head to the platform for UAE Exchange at DXB. From DWC the nearest station is Ibn Battuta Mall, which can be reached by bus or taxi.

4242 DUBAI VOYAGER VOYAGER • FEBRUARY 16

WATER TAXI ABRA Before the first bridges were built in the 1960s, traditional abra boats were the most efficient way to cross Dubai Creek. At just Dhs1 per trip, it’s a fantastic way to see the city, as well as cross from Bur Dubai’s Textile Souk to the Spice Souk and Gold Souk in Deira.

Skip the traffic and take to the sea by hopping on a water taxi from one of the many stations along the coast, from Jebel Ali Golf Resort to Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Al Mamzar.

From Dubai Marina Mall to the Waldorf Astoria on the Palm Jumeirah, expect to pay approximately Dhs195. They’re available throughout the day and can be booked online in advance.

DXB stars in BBC’s Cities In The Sky A recent BBC documentary series has shone a light on Dubai International’s 150-km-long baggage handling system.

The three-part series Cities In The Sky aired in June in the UK and focused on the aviation industry’s current importance and its future.

The series celebrated the role that aviation plays in global society, and the science, technology, planning and, of course, people who make it all possible.

DXB’s appearance in the show focused on the extraordinary baggage system, which handled 55 million bags in 2015.

Every day, more than 100,000 bags pass through its network of conveyor belts, which totals 148.5km – more than the distance between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Founded in Ireland in 1932, Butlers developed its cafe concept in 1998 to offer a haven for chocolate and coffee lovers. Butlers Chocolate Café officially opened in Concourse D on May 23. On the same day, in the same concourse, UK pharmacy giant Boots officially launched its 100th store in the Middle East.

Butlers and Boots are the latest global brands to be added to Concourse D’s line up, offering a world-class selection of cafes, restaurants and shops to passengers.

McIlroy takes home the prize at Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Rory McIlroy delighted the fans at The K Club, Ireland, as the home favourite overcame a stern challenge from Russell Knox to win the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation.

The local legend sealed victory with an eagle after a sensational five-wood to three feet on the 72nd hole.

Before the tournament, McIlroy had said that a first professional win on Irish soil would give him “goosebumps” and the Northern Irishman was clearly emotional after firing a closing round of 69 to seal his 13th European Tour title in County Kildare.

“To win The Irish Open, to win your National Open, you don’t get many 50

DUBAI VOYAGER

opportunities to do it. I knew I needed to take this chance and I’m just glad I came up with the right shot at the right time,” he said.

“Golf-wise this week, it’s obviously very important to me, but the work that we’ve put into this tournament and the work that we’ve put into the foundation, and the people that we are going help from this week, that’s probably even more bigger.”

The result is all the more impressive given that McIlroy, who became the first home winner of the Irish Open since Shane Lowry in 2009, had missed the cut in this event in the last three seasons.

The weather again played its part, with hailstorms leading to a one-hour suspension.

However, the sun made an appearance for the dramatic finale and McIlroy sent the 25,270 fans home happy with his impressive finish.

Colm McLoughlin, Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, said, “This has been a remarkable week, capped off by an incredible performance by our tournament host Rory McIlroy. We’re thrilled to be part of this spectacular tournament, and look forward to continuing to work with our partners at the Rory Foundation, Rory McIlroy and the European Tour.”

The Rory Foundation, which hosts the tournament, also benefitted by raising €666,660 (US$748,992), as McIlroy donated his winner’s cheque to his charity.

Comeback kid claims Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters Gary Anderson ended Michael van Gerwen’s three-year reign as the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters champion with a stunning comeback from 8-4 down to win Friday’s World Series of Darts final 11-9 in May 27.

Reigning champion van Gerwen looked set to claim an impressive fourth successive title in the open-air tournament at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, when he pulled clear of the World Champion.

While the Dutchman opened the final with a 12-darter, Anderson fired back to level the game with back-to-back 12-darters and finishes of 68 and 76 in a run of four

straight legs to level at eight-all.

The next two were shared, leaving the scores tied at nine legs apiece before the Scot punished one miss from van Gerwen to land double 12 and take the lead. A further six misses from the reigning champion proved costly and, ultimately, a double five sealed the glory for Anderson.

“This is a brilliant win,” said Anderson, who changed his darts from 23 grams to 25 grams ahead of the event to combat any air movement. “I could see Michael tiring at the end. He took his foot off the gas a little and missed a couple of doubles.

Anderson had defeated Phil Taylor 11-7 in the semi-final as he won through to his first decider on the World Series of Darts circuit.

Van Gerwen was in fine form during his semi-final win over Dave Chisnall, hitting five ton-plus checkouts, a 10-dart finish and seven 180s as he averaged over 105.

“I’m a bit disappointed in myself,” said van Gerwen after the final. “It was close but I’ve only got myself to blame and Gary was the better player tonight.”

The next PDC World Series of Darts event was at the Auckland Darts Masters from June 17 to 19 at the Trusts Arena.

R E A D I N G N AT I O N A L R A M A DA N CA M PA I G N DDF contributes to a campaign raising millions for children’s education

Anybody who’s ever got lost in a good book – regardless of their age – knows how important the experience can be, and during Ramadan, the Dubai government has raised millions of dirhams to send books and build libraries for children in need.

The Reading Nation Ramadan campaign was launched, by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on the first day of Ramadan with the aim of providing five million books to refugee camps and the world’s underprivileged schools.

Lasting 19 days, and finishing on Emirati Humanitarian Work Day, the charitable campaign also promises to build 2,000 much-needed libraries around the Islamic world, which will be stocked with books.

Dubai Duty Free was quick to help the very worthwhile cause by donating a staggering Dhs3 million (US$820,000), through its charitable branch the Dubai Duty Free Foundation.

“The first-of-its-kind Ramadan campaign complements the previous initiatives 54

DUBAI VOYAGER

launched by His Highness over the past years and conveys a message of benevolence and peace from the UAE to the world during the Holy Month of Ramadan,” said Colm McLoughlin, Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

McLoughlin made the donation official at a presentation to HE Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Office of Dubai Cares, an organisation ensuring children have better access to basic educational materials in developing countries.

“We are honoured to partner with the campaign in line with our commitment to social responsibility principles that contribute to the UAE’s goal of extending a helping hand to those less fortunate,” added McLoughlin.

This donation by Dubai Duty Free is part of the on-going Corporate Social Responsibility and its charity work under the Dubai Duty Free Foundation, which was established in 2004 under the patronage of HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Dubai Duty Free Chairman.

I l l u s t rat i o n by : J o h n Ma rs l a n d

L a s t s to p | A m e r i c a

Mouse trapped D u b a i Voya ge r ’s e d i to r ex p l a i n s w hy yo u n eve r g row o u t o f wa n t i n g to go to D i s n ey l a n d When I was younger, the mouse called to me. As did picture book castles, pirate ships, and people dressed as dogs who also, confusingly, drove trucks. It’s probably best to point out here that I’m not recounting a dream; this is not therapy. I’m talking about Disneyland.

Unfortunately, the world’s greatest theme park was never on the agenda for me. In fact, it was so far off the agenda 74 DUBAI VOYAGER

that its very mention would elicit a bemused laugh from my parents, like the place was a mythical paradise. Even then, the irony was not lost me.

With that door firmly closed, my efforts were concentrated on what the UK had to offer, settling on a place in Yorkshire called Lightwater Valley. England’s theme park game was in its infancy in the mid’80s and, as a result, it was distinctly lacking the glamour that I’d seen on TV from across the pond… its main attraction was simply called: The Rat. It doesn’t sound like much. In fact, let’s be honest: it wasn’t much, but to my nine-year-old self it was the highlight of summer and the memory remains as stubborn as the free sticker that was set to blight our car window for the decade that followed.

While places like this might have been a far cry from the bubble gum world of

Disney, they were created in response to its phenomena. Disneyland might have been a massive gamble in 1955, at a time when Walt’s movies were suffering, but it paid off, not only in the US, but eventually globally, dictating how you spent your summer. It was a seismic shift that’s still being felt now.

Thirty years later and you’d think I’d have grown out of wanting to go to Disneyland – I haven’t. There’s always a tiny part of me that’s intrigued by the place. Ok, so it might be a little less about wandering up to Mickey Mouse for a chat, and a little more about finding Club 33, the hidden bar that Disney created as his answer to corporate schmoozing, but the desire to go remains as powerful as ever, no doubt gnawing away at me until I force my, as yet, unborn children to go.

Never mind fairytale kingdoms… therein lies the real magic of Disney.
