Favourite spot: Showcase Gallery
I came across Showcase Gallery when I was looking for frames for my artworks. Not only do Showcase produce quality frames on site but they have a great exhibition schedule featuring artists from all over the world. The gallery also has a focus on African art, which often brings a dose of colour.

Favourite spot: Gallery Fann A Porter at The Workshop
Whenever I am in Dubai looking for a retreat to drink a good espresso and admire art in a calm atmosphere, I turn to Gallery Fann A Porter located at The Workshop. An art gallery, a beautiful garden, a cafe with healthy food, a space for collaboration and creativity, and most importantly a place with knowledgable staff, The Workshop is a multi-concept space that has a lot to offer. It is truly one-of-a-kind.

Favourite spot: Coins of Islam: History Revealed
Whilst the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is closed, do make try and make a beeline to the Visitor Centre when it reopens. There you can catch an extraordinary exhibition titled ‘Coins of Islam: History Revealed’. It displays what can be considered one of the world’s most significant collections of Arab and Islamic coinage ever assembled and offers often surprising perspectives on history.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER
This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
