This is a three hour photo trail that explores the Al Fahidi neighbourhood in Dubai and the culinary traditions of the area. The place resounds with different languages; an area steeped in history with some stunning architecture to view. The time of iftar when the azaan is followed by the breaking of the fast is one of the highlights of this experience.
It’s a rain experience in the desert and getting wet is optional! You walk into the permanent rain showers, but the unique sensors will switch off when they sense you are around. So essentially you're taking a walk in the rain without getting wet. For those in Dubai, its just a short drive to Al Majarrah Square, near Al Majarrah Park, Sharjah for this experience.
Head to the Dubai Autodrome track to experience some super speeds with the 570bhp Ferrari GT, or the 625bhp McLaren Sprint.
