Dubai resident. Stays most of the time in the marina as she can't be bothered going anywhere else after work and in the weekends.

I can imagine how “happy” every Marina Mum was when Pots and Pans and that beautiful lawn at the edge of The Beach was ‘closed for construction’. What are they doing to build here? Months passed and Bla Bla Beach Club opened – an adults-only venue with over 20 bars, right next to the much-loved […]
