Editor's Word

It's her again, spring!

In childhood, it seemed that spring smells of birch sap. And the melted snow, and the buds that open, and something else, so elusive that I wanted to sing, and breathe deeply, and somehow live in a new way. The childhood has passed. Birches remained to make noise in the vastness of the distant Motherland.

In Dubai, spring smells of dust because there are construction sites everywhere. Even by the sea and a trimmed lawn. Great freshly brewed coffee from the surrounding coffee houses and cinnamon rolls. Still aromas of local incenses and thin smoke of hookahs .... In general, just as before it smelled of winter, and before it - autumn. It’s a pity, but the spring in Dubai does not smell anything special .... But its approach is literally physically felt. Spring is in the air!

It has become noticeably warmer compared to the current one, quite cool for the Emirates and very rainy in the winter. Bold vacationers are already swimming in the sea, and not in pools with water temperature control. Hotels and restaurants are preparing to celebrate Mother's Day (March 21), St. Patrick's Day, and some even March 8th. Equestrian enthusiasts from around the world gather at the Dubai World Cup in horse racing, which will traditionally be held in late March. Those who like yachting will by no means miss the international boat show in Dubai Marina.

Lovers will come here to spend their honeymoon at the most fashionable resort in the world. The brave and the gambling will go to conquer the desert or mountains in jeeps. Shopaholics rush into shopping centers for new spring-summer designer collections. Investors will reach Dubai in search of new projects.

Everyone here will find something to their liking. We are constantly telling you how and what to do in the Emirates. This number is no exception. I want to wish you a great vacation and unforgettable adventures this spring, even if this is not your first visit to the Emirates. This country is good because it never ceases to amaze us. And we do not get tired of her surprises.

It’s only a pity that birch sap in Dubai is like “bird milk in a three-liter jar”. Not. And nowhere to take. I’ll go buy a coffee for myself. And a bun. Cinnamon… .

Sincerely yours,
