BIM Heroes Episode 16: When Buildings Become ComputersThe Metaverse Meets Hard Hats with Paul DohertyFrom Trade Shows to Smart CitiesPaul Doherty, the architect-turned-tech-evangelist behind The Digit Group, takes us on a wild ride from 1990s CAD revolutions to the futuristic smart cities of tomorrow. What starts as a career retrospective quickly becomes a masterclass in how technologies like digital twins and the metaverse are quietly transforming construction sites today.Paul's journey reads like a time capsule of AEC tech history. After cutting his teeth designing IBM's trade show booths (where he worked with a fledgling Microsoft and Adobe), he became one of BIM's earliest champions - helping sell the first seats of Revit before its $133M Autodesk acquisition. His stories of convincing skeptical architects to adopt 3D modeling in the early 2000s will make any tech implementer nod in sympathy.The Pain Points Driving ChangeTwo harsh realities are pushing innovation:Labor shortages mean we must "do more with less" - Paul argues that 3D construction docs aren't just nice to have but essential for clear communicationLanguage barriers go deeper than translation - when Spanish-language plans fail because workers can't read, animated work instructions become criticalDigital Twins Get RealForget the hype - Paul shares concrete examples of digital twins in action:Construction sites that never sleep: Avatars handle nighttime progress tracking and safety checksThe $80M virtual seats experiment: How Dubai's Burj Al Arab hosted a boxing match where digital tickets outsold physical onesReality capture's dirty secret: Most "scan-to-BIM" workflows still rely on manual cleanup (despite iPhone LiDAR's promise)Metaverse for Hard HatsThis isn't about VR goggles - it's about spatial computing that blends into workflows:NPC project managers: AI-driven non-player characters that know every library ever built could soon advise architectsBuildings that talk back: Imagine your office saying "The air filter on floor 2 needs changing" in real timeeSports stadiums 2.0: Kinetic seating sections that physically rearrange based on audience demandThe Road AheadPaul leaves us with both warnings and opportunities:Trust issues: Blockchain-based smart contracts may solve construction's transparency problemsLegacy mindset: The industry still clings to 2D even as 3D proves its worthAuthenticity matters: Smart cities fail when they feel like "plastic mannequins" rather than organic communitiesFinal Takeaway: This episode shines when Paul grounds futuristic concepts in today's job site realities. The metaverse isn't coming - it's already here in pieces for forward-thinking firms.

The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT Dubai, Qatar and more recently Saudi Arabia have developed a reputation in digital signage for bankrolling projects that seem mainly focused on sizzle and scale. But there's a lot more going on in the region than work that's just about Wow Factor. It's a busy, high opportunity part of the world for companies delivering big visual display projects, but also one that presents a lot of challenges in how things work - everything from regulations and timelines to cultural differences. I've got to know a Dubai-based company called Blue Rhine Industries through its strategy director, Nita Odedra, who I first met at an ISE conference. I'd already been impressed by how the integrator actually produces useful marketing - tight, explanatory videos that do the job of explaining what was done and why. It seems sensible, but is remarkably rare in this sector. I see a LOT of it, so I know. Nita and I had a great chat about the company's roots as a traditional sign company, and how and why it expanded into digital. We spend a lot of time talking about what's happening in the region, what customers want, and how business is done. If your own company is thinking the Gulf region presents a lot of opportunity for expansion, that is indeed true. But like a lot of things, it looks easier that it appears. Local knowledge and experience are invaluable. Subscribe from wherever you pick up new podcasts. TRANSCRIPT Thank you for joining me. For those people who don't know Blue Rhine Industries, can you give me a rundown of what the company does?  Nita Odedra: Yeah. So we're a digital signage system integrator headquartered in Dubai, in the UAE, and we are working across the entire GCC on various projects. That includes additional screens, software, and interactive solutions, across a range of industries. That's us in a nutshell.  What are the roots of the company?  Nita Odedra: So we formed in 2006 by a gentleman called John V. Joseph, who still runs the company now, and he started the company as a static signage fabricator. So very humble beginnings where we were fabricators for static signs and shop signs. So it could be a Starbucks sign or a Cartier sign. Then inside the retail stores, it would be the category signage, light boxes, and menu boards in F&B, and that's how we started the business.  And you went to digital, was it because there was an opportunity or it was one of those things where you looked at it and realized, okay, we have to go this way? Nita Odedra: Yeah, it was the latter. It was that we identified that there was a shift happening, in retail, in F&B. So where we felt this the most was the quick-serve restaurants where they were changing their traditional lightbox menu boards to LCD screens, and that was a big business for us, lightboxes, menu boards, keeping those menu boards updated. So at that point, we realized that there was a shift happening and we were going to start losing the lightbox kind of offering that we had we formed a relationship and exclusivity with Phillips Professional Panels, Professional Displays at the time, and we were their exclusive distributor here in the UAE for a number of years and that's where the digital signage business began.  And what does that represent for Blue Rhine now? Is it like a big part of their business or like a sideline?  Nita Odedra: More than half the business now is digital signage or some type of static signage, which incorporates digital signage into it. So we have fully dedicated teams. It's like the business is almost split into two and digital signage is where we're seeing the most growth.  I suspect the two are complimentary still in that if you come across a job that involves something more than hanging a screen on a wall, there are a lot of solutions providers that don't really have the expertise on the engineering side, don't have the man lifts or any of these things to do the more aggressive or complicated work. Nita Odedra: Absolutely. So that's really our differentiator in the market here is that because the company grew from being a fabricator. So we have four factories. We have facilities for large steel structures, both indoor and outdoor large totems. So we're doing canopies for gas stations as part of our static business, which allows us to be able to do those large unipoles for the out-of-home media agencies, for example, down the highway.  So the ability to manage that whole project from technical drawings on steel structures and, the housing and all that type of stuff, all the way through to fabricating in our facility, installing it in-house, having the digital signage arm of the business, the software, the content, we're able to provide that full end to end solution and that means that when we're doing these installations, especially indoor environments, where we're doing the secondary structure, every millimeter counts when it comes to that perfection of LED screens, for example, and having that beautiful screen housing structure, that's all done by us. Lord knows we've seen around the world, large format display projects that have been done by companies who probably don't know what they are doing because things fall over or fall on people and everything else.  Nita Odedra: Yeah, we've seen that recently, but, we've got in-house engineers. We've got those project managers in-house. We've got guys doing BIM in-house as well.  So we have that technical capability all the way from the drawings. Then we've got the fabrication facility with skilled workers. We have multiple HSC kinds of offices that are going on-site. Most recently we did quite a complex project, from beginning to end, which was the Dubai Mall Aquarium, which was a long installation. That was six months. Because it's a fully operational mall, we had a very short window at night time to go in to put all the access equipment up and work. we had to take out the existing screen, which was an OLED LG display, and then replace that with the infrared screen that we put in and that took six months and we're very proud of that installation because we had zero HSC violations over six months and our team just did a fantastic job there.  Is that an anomaly or is that kind of the work you do?  Nita Odedra: That's very much the kind of work we do. So it is these large screens, it is custom fabrication. It will be complex sites. So we're doing one at the moment, which is a very large outdoor screen on the corner of a building, which is also still in construction. So this is very typical, especially when we're looking at those large format screens.  Those are jobs that don't come along that often, even in your region. A lot of companies would rely more on the, use a term I use quite a bit, meat and potatoes kind of work where it's conventional flat panel LCDs for menu displays. Nita Odedra: So here the market is a little bit different because we've got so many projects, new developments, they're trying to do things differently. We've got cylinder LCDs, we've got pillars being clad, etc. But yeah, you're right there. Our bread and butter and the fast-moving business that keeps the lights on is the retail business. That is the LED screens, the LCD video walls, and interactive displays in retail environments.  When we get those orders in, they turn around pretty quickly, within a couple of months, the payments are pretty good on those because you're delivering in a shorter time frame, and on the larger projects, that's where, sometimes we can get our money stuck, projects get delayed. An example would be Abu Dhabi Airport, Terminal A, where that project was delayed over a couple of years and we had that stock ready, and then COVID came, the project got delayed, and that became from what should have been two years became five years. You just have to sit on that stuff.  Nita Odedra: You're sitting on it or you install it and then the airport's still not open. You've got a screen up there that's not ready for any content yet. But it's just the way it is, especially in this region, projects sometimes do get delayed and we just have to be prepared for that when we're resourcing the company and now we're at over 750 people, almost 800 across the region. So it's managing those resources and making sure that the installation or the fabrication that we're aligned internally on manages everything.  So from a distance, I look at the GCC region and I see these mega projects being announced and I always wonder how many of them are actually going to be built and how long does it take?  Nita Odedra: So these are ambitious projects, right? So we're looking at projects in NEOM, like The Line, we've got several projects in and around Medina, and they are very ambitious when you look at them on paper. They are happening, but some of them are being scaled back. So you may have heard Neom The Line that was scaled back from, hundreds of kilometers down to just a couple of kilometers.  But it's still one of the largest building projects in the world, even at that scale-down size, right? Nita Odedra: Absolutely, and we are seeing that these projects are now coming to life. So things that were announced, what, five years ago, probably like 2018 when they set the 2030 vision for Saudi Arabia specifically. A lot of those projects are now happening, the hotels are opening, the resorts are opening, so we look at places like the Red Sea Development, which has luxury resorts. It's going to be a tourist destination. They're already accepting guests there now. They've got Qadir, which is picking up pace. We've got King Salman Park, which will be the largest urban park in the world. When you're in the city, work is happening and it's happening at a very fast pace. Who is largely funding these? Are you in a better position to see them actually happen if they're coming through a big fund like PIF in Saudi Arabia?  Nita Odedra: Yeah. So a lot of the work that we're doing and the projects, they are being funded by the government, by the public investment funds. So those are the ones that are picking up speed, but of course, other private companies are coming up with their developments and they're turning the round very fast. There are out-of-home media agencies that are doing phenomenally well. They're companies like Al Arabiya who are sweeping up these new developments for their network. Is it very competitive in your region? I'm familiar with three or four companies who do what you guys do, different routes, and everything else. But I suspect because of the money that's going into the region, there's all kinds of other companies in the region and in Europe and even in North America are looking at it and thinking we need to be there. Nita Odedra: There is competition. There are system integrators, smaller ones that we're having to compete with quite aggressively in the retail space, but where we're different is we've been in this game a lot longer. So perhaps we've lost some clients in retail for a year or two, they've experimented with perhaps other system integrators. Some have been successful, some when it comes to those retail projects, a little bit more complex where, the fabrication element comes back in again, experienced project management that comes back in again, HSC, when these elements are not supported by a competitor, they end up coming back to us and we're able to maintain that retail business. But absolutely in retail, we have a lot of competition. But there is a lot of work here. There are lots of malls still opening, whether that's the UAE or in Saudi, where there's a huge number of malls opening up, there is business there.  Does it feel at all like a bubble?  Nita Odedra: It feels like a bubble when I look at politics internationally and how we don't have that here and we're a little bit in a little happy bubble here. So yeah, it does feel like it sometimes. And it's easy to forget that this region is an anomaly. We are a region where there are a lot of ambitious projects with speed happening. There is work. There's a very positive attitude towards these projects that are being developed. There's a very positive attitude towards the hosting of sporting events in the region. People are excited about it. They welcome it. It's something new, right?  So it can feel like a bit of a bubble sometimes when we have so much regional excitement that, perhaps globally, it's not the same landscape.  Yeah, you mentioned shopping malls going up, and I've been to Dubai, it's been a number of years, but I thought even at that time, okay, there's enough shopping malls here now. But they just keep coming.  Nita Odedra: I'm shocked as well. So every time there's a new mall, I was like, surely they're not gonna be busy, and then you go, and they're packed. This is low season right now. So the school holidays started last week and we don't get much tourism in the summer, but the mall was absolutely packed. It's very much a small culture here. We don't have historical high streets or historical villages. Everything is new. Everything's flashy and people want to go to the mall. That's the only place that they can go to for F&B, for entertainment, picking up their groceries, and doing their usual high street shop. There's a practical reason behind that too, just that it's, so crazy hot there that malls are air-conditioned. So the dwell time, I gather, is not measured in minutes and hours.  Nita Odedra: Yeah, it is not unusual to be in the mall for six to seven hours. You'd perhaps do two meals there, watch a movie, go shopping, and then leave after doing your grocery shop. So it's high dwell times.  It's incredibly hot here. So I even have friends who go to the mall In the summer, just to get their step count in. So they'll go, grab a coffee, do their step count, pop in, run some errands, whether it's dry cleaning, or whatever it is that they've got to do, but they'll do that step count inside the mall, as opposed to a park, or the town pavements. Does that make it a better media environment?  Nita Odedra: Absolutely, So for the out-of-home media agencies, they've got a good captive audience there. It's all indoor. So I think it works really well for the media networks and or the out of their media agencies.  We've chatted a few times in the past. I'm always curious about the impact of the wow factor on Projects over there and how important it is  Nita Odedra: culturally, I think we've got a bit of history here with Dubai because it's been established a little bit longer in terms of these, ambitious developments, but they want to be the biggest and the best, whether it's building the tallest building in the world, the Burj Al Arab, the largest mall in the world, maybe the busiest mall, the busiest airport terminals. They do have this pride in trying to put developments out there that are new, and ambitious. Something that is the largest, and what that means is sometimes it comes with a bit of flash and you've got all bells, all whistles installations for screens. Dubai Mall is an example where I think that's the largest indoor screen in Dubai Mall and you'll have other ones coming up in the next couple of years trying to beat that I'm sure. Now, as somebody whose role involves strategy. I suspect it's a bit of a delicate dance for you in that you're hearing about these ambitions of being the biggest, the best, and so on and you have to sit there and think, monetarily, that could be great for us, but strategy-wise, I'm not sure that's the right move. Nita Odedra: Exactly. So we have to be really careful about which projects we take, how many projects we take, and when we take on new partners and new product lines. When we dive first, we're adding more software with, we're providing content now. So we've got to be really careful about what our strengths are and stay true to who we are. We get asked all the time to do things that are, outside of our scope, but we really have to say no, scale it back, and just stick to our objectives, our strategy as a business, the direction we want to go in, and that's very much customer experiences, passenger experiences. So we're one of the verticals that we're, growing at quite a fast pace is transport. So airports. There are a number of domestic airport openings in Saudi, we've got new airports opening in Dubai and, across the region. So that's an area that we strategically know that we can take on large projects, we're capable and we're going to see good business.  Airports, I talk about a lot as being, if you want to see the state-of-the-art and digital signage, look at a refurbished or newly built airport because it just covers the waterfront in terms of digital out-of-home, conventional signage, wayfinding, everything.  Nita Odedra: An airport is a perfect example of where you could probably take somebody for a site visit and show them every single type of installation for a digital screen possible and software and integration. Airports are the perfect vertical for us to really penetrate and all our complete offerings can be in an airport because we're taking our experience within malls for travel retail. We're taking our experience from mixed-use developments, and all our experience from all the other verticals can now be applied within transport and airports specifically. Yeah, I'm curious if you work with the large engineering and architecture companies, like, all the way up to Populous who I think is involved in the Qiddiya project.  Nita Odedra: So we work very often from concept all the way through to delivery, and that would mean the contractors, the architects, the cost consultants, the design consultants, these are all stakeholders that are involved quite early on in the conversations and remain in those conversations almost through to delivery.  What about on the services side? Obviously you're doing the front end, you're, deploying, you're, designing, fabricating everything else. Are you doing ongoing aftercare? And you mentioned content before?  Nita Odedra: Yeah. So services are part of the complete solution, right? So we've got to offer the AMC afterward, and that can be anything from servicing the screens to maintaining them in this region. You've got LEDs outdoors and they need to be maintained, and cleaned of dust. That's very much part of the AMC. There's remote content management where we're providing content management solutions for retailers and that's for outside of the region as well. So retail operators who are not just in the GCC, but all the way through to Malaysia, Europe, travel retailers who are in Norway. So managing their content from Dubai, and then, more recently providing the content creation piece as well. So that's where we will have partners. We've got our preferred content partners who are delivering fantastic work globally, and we're transparent with our clients as well that, this is our partner, but we're offering the complete solution under our canopy.  You're managing screens in Norway from Dubai?  Nita Odedra: Yeah, we're managing the content for screens in Norway, all the way through to Malaysia, and Indonesia, I think even in London, so it's becoming global now. So even though we're delivering work within the Middle East region and our direct offices and fabrication facilities, warehouses are all in the GCC, so those are the Gulf countries, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi, and UAE. We are also in Egypt. We're delivering into North Africa and the wider Middle East area.  Do you have a preferred list or go to a set of partners on the display hardware and software side, or do you take it project by project?  Nita Odedra: Yeah, that's a great question, actually. So as I spoke about earlier we started this journey with Philips Professional Displays that was for a short period of time when we were starting out. We then realized that distribution wasn't for us. We want to be a system integrator. We were shooting ourselves in the foot there. So that was handed over to another business within our group of companies. So our owner has a trading division. So that was handed over to them and they are now the distributor. And we fully threw ourselves into being a system integrator where we were able to develop relationships with a number of different vendors and partners, and we remain agnostic. So it's dependent on the project. What is right for that project? And yes, there'll be periods of time where sometimes we're getting great pricing from Samsung and we'll deliver a number of Samsung LCD screens, and then LG. The next day that changes and that's very much price driven if I'm honest Based on the availability of the screens then when it comes to the LED screens, that's far more complex and that is a problem based on the project and the requirements, and that can be very different from project to project. We have a fantastic Head of Digital, Neeraj Vyas, who's been with us since the beginning, been with us for over 11 years now, and he is in China almost every month going and doing that quality control, really getting into the details of the screen, and he's the one very often who will spec out which, the hardware we're going to use for those big projects. Do you find that the customers or the specifiers, if they're an engineering firm or an architecture firm, do they know what they need and what they want to use? Or are they saying, yeah, we want to use COB here, or it needs to be this pitch or whatever, or are they relying on you?  Nita Odedra: Yeah. So that does happen. They are informed and there are lots of great resources available for them to have a vague idea of what they want. But just yesterday I was on a call with our head of tech and a design firm where they loosely knew what they wanted and what they needed. But when we were drilling down into the requirements and the structure of these screens where they're going, and is it facing daylight? Is it not? We then realized that there was a support that they needed and some guidance on the specification of the screen.  So there was one specific screen that they mentioned, and we said, actually we have used that screen in an outdoor environment. We probably wouldn't recommend it for X, Y, or Z reasons. They understood the reasons. Because we're also the fabricator and we've got all this experience in indoor outdoor environments in this regio, we know the ventilation we know how to design those structures with ventilation, what type of provisions have to be made so we're able to get in quite early with these guys and educate them guide them on considerations that they may not have made  The heat in your region obviously tough on humans, and I know that any display technology company has to worry about getting that heat out of the enclosure or whatever, but do you really have to think about it there? Nita Odedra: Yes. We really do have to think about it. There are the manufacturers there who are saying, of course, that it will withstand heat to 50-60 degrees, even beyond some of them, but having done this for over 12 years.  But having installation throughout, the peak summer period for testing. We do have to make provisions for ventilation, for AC, for cooling. These are all provisions that we do have to make for outdoor screens, especially the LCD screens, mainly the outdoor LCD screens here, but for LED screens, of course, we still have to account for ventilation. Yeah. With them, you have to worry about blowing off all the dust and everything, and the sand that gets in.  Nita Odedra: Exactly. maintaining those, making sure that the sand, making sure the structure as well isn't capturing all that kind of dust floating around. So yeah, even simple things like, when you've got touch screens inside malls and stuff and the IR frame back in the days, there's dust captures in there or sensors. These are all things that we have to consider quite early.  I first got an idea of your company on LinkedIn by seeing a video that I believe was for the Dubai Mall, the project you were talking about before and what struck me is, Oh my God, there's an integrator who actually gets marketing.  Nita Odedra: Funnily, the John who I spoke about earlier, my boss, his background is marketing. So I think his degree was in marketing. So he's very passionate about our marketing. He's very hands-on and I'm getting WhatsApp messages in the night saying, let's try this. Let's do something different, and he's the gentleman probably on the video that you saw, and we're a bunch of passionate people. We've all been in the company for a while. He's been there since the beginning. over 17 years, I've been there for almost eight, or nine years now. So we were passionate about the business. We've grown with the business. We've seen the business grow and we're so excited about these projects that we're delivering. We're excited about what's happening in the region, not just for us, but we love to talk about other things that are happening in the region as well. So yeah, I think, we're doing the marketing justice and he's great on camera as well.  Yeah, I mentioned that just because I so often see reports about projects and I'm lucky if they even provide decent photos. So to come across videos that explain this is what we did, this is what we use, this is where it is, this is how it works without overwhelming you with Euro disco music or whatever, just the facts, it was almost stunning. Oh my God, somebody got it.  Nita Odedra: Yeah. So he really came up with a decision very early on, probably about six years ago, seven years ago, actually, that everything needs to be video content. He wasn't even happy with just images. He was like people are digesting content in videos and this was like the days, early days of, videos being on Instagram or LinkedIn. So we started churning out a lot more videos, to begin with, which were just the videos of the projects, and then that evolved to us giving kind of explainers, educating the audience and just making them short and snappy. We're making more data-driven decisions on the type of marketing we're doing, where are we getting the most engagement? What are people enjoying? What are they engaging with and sharing? And it seems to be that the ones where we're explaining in a very short space of time, like you said, within 30 seconds, get straight to the point. “This is a pixel pitch, 1.2, the size of it. What have we delivered? How did we do it?” And just get straight to it. That's what people want to know. They want to see the screen. They want to know how you did it and what did you do? Keep it simple.  Yeah, we were collectively on a panel a couple of months ago now in Munich at the Digital Signage Summit, and it was about doing business in your region and what I asked the group was how easy or hard it is because it is different, right?  You can't just drop your company into this region and expect to start getting the business rolling in.  Nita Odedra: Yeah, we've got 17 years of experience, but still monthly, there are new regulations. There are new challenges, whether that's employing locals. So in Saudi, we've got Saudinization where a set quota has to be local employees. Resourcing regionally as well can be a challenge, just licensing and all that paperwork for us still is a challenge. So I know how daunting it is for system integrators, and vendors trying to enter into this region and there are certain cultural sensitivities that we've got to keep in mind, there are a lot of different cultures working together as well.  So the culture here is very different from European culture and American culture, even more so. There's that consideration to have as well when you're entering into the market. But I would say to anybody that wants to enter into this market, partner up with somebody, to begin with, find the opportunities, find some local partners, get started, have your hand held a bit before you make any decisions, and jump straight into the deep end.  Now, for a company that's from Europe or from North America or elsewhere, looking at going into that region and saying, okay, I agree, let's partner. They're probably going to be intimidated that this partner may result in us losing the larger business because now we have a partner instead of doing this solo.  Nita Odedra: Yeah, I do personally believe that there's enough in the piece of the pie for everybody, especially in this region. But, we look at long-term partnerships. So we're quite selective with who we work with and how we work with them, and we do believe in honest, transparent partnerships. We will make sure that we've got contracts in place to protect them more than we even. So if they have, because we are looking long term, if they've brought a client, they've got a client who is from the US or Europe and they're looking to support them here regionally and they need a partner. We'll ring fence that client. We'll put contracts in place, it's a ring fence for them. It's only them. We won't touch them directly and just make sure everything's covered legally for them and honor that as well, so making sure that even from the top down, you've got that commitment. So we always make sure on all of our partnerships that from right at the top of management, I'm getting them in conversations with those partners and getting that commitment on what we will be delivering on, and also not creating any exclusivity either too early. Sometimes getting exclusive with a partner straight away and it's not good for them. It's not good for us, to allow them the flexibility to go out to other system integrators. They don't have to work exclusively with us.  And just finally, on the cultural side, I would say the common perception is it's very different over there and challenging to work in and everything else, but in talking with you and speaking with other people who work in the region, they've said, yeah, it's different, but it's perhaps not what you think. It's not as challenging and things have relaxed, particularly in areas like Saudi quite a bit.  Nita Odedra: I've seen a shift here. So I've been in the Middle East now for almost 10 years, and I'm originally from the UK. I'm just outside of London. I worked in London and across Europe and America in terms of my territories. So I'm familiar with the European market, familiar with the North American market, and the way of working.  There is a different culture and pace here, but the projects are happening at such a speed that things do materialize. They do happen quite quickly. So it's not that much of a culture shock. You've just got to be prepared, the professionalism, should we say, is different. It's there, but it's just different. All right. Leave me hanging on that one.  Nita Odedra: Timelines, deadlines, all that kind of stuff. Those get pushed back a lot in this region, adhering to timelines. So most of our projects that get delayed, get delayed by the client side, approvals for drawings, client.  One of the biggest challenges we have is site conditions. They'll push for us to have, I don't know, let's just say 300 outdoor interactive kiosks ready. They'll pay a premium just to have them turned around faster because they're not willing to wait nine months. They want them delivered in four months, and then there's no data or power, and we're sitting on 300-plus outdoor kiosks and charging them for the storage, and that is not uncommon.  Interesting. Great to catch up with you. We see each other here and there at trade shows, but we're obviously many hours apart. So it's not a routine thing.  Nita Odedra: Thank you for taking the time out, it's been a great conversation and I look forward to seeing you hopefully at ISE. Absolutely.  Nita Odedra: Thank you.

I am bringing my Edinburgh Fringe “lecture with funny bits” about the history of mining to London on October 9th and 10th to the Museum of Comedy. Please come if you fancy a bit of “learning and laughter”. The Edinburgh link is here. And the London link is here.Let's start with an overview of gold demand as it currently stands.Never mind central banks, investment banks, or private investors—almost 50% of annual gold demand comes from the jewellery industry. It is, by some margin, the single largely buyer of gold. Another 23% is investment demand, and 21%—last year at least—came from central banks. Just 6% of demand is industrial (excluding jewellery, of course).Jewellery, investment, and central bank demand have all been increasing in recent years. However, a change in macroeconomic circumstances could easily mean, for example, that central banks become net sellers. It's not like it hasn't happened before. But, while de-dollarisation remains a growing theme, I do not see that as likely for several years at least. Similarly, investment demand could easily shrink. Jewellery demand is more constant, and it increases when people feel rich and decreases when they don't.Gold's main use has always been and will always be to store and display wealth—in other words, investment and jewellery. Technological demand is rather at the margin, but might we see demand growth there? Let's investigate. Interestingly, one huge potential increase in demand will come, ironically perhaps since that is where gold came from, at the final frontier in outer space.At the Final Frontier - Also On Your PhoneBoth silver and copper are better conductors of electricity than gold, but gold is more resistant to corrosion and oxidation. Therefore, it finds considerable use in electronics as a coating, especially where long-term stability is important. It is used to cover connectors, switches, and relay contacts; in printed circuit boards, microprocessors, and memory chips. This resistance means it finds considerable use in both aerospace and outer space, where it is used to coat satellite components and spacecraft. It can reflect infrared radiation and protect craft from overheating—especially important in the wild temperature fluctuations of outer space. It is also used in the heat shields which protect sensitive equipment from high temperatures during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The umbilical cord that binds an astronaut to their spacecraft is plated with gold. The visors of astronaut helmets are plated with gold to protect their eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation. The MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) instrument, which forms part of NASA's Mars exploration programme, is plated with gold. Its purpose is to create oxygen from carbon dioxide, effectively replicating the role of plants on Earth, so that a human mission to Mars can one day take place.Ultimately, gold's permanence is the fundamental reason for its use. You need durable materials. When you send a spacecraft to outer space, you can't repair it. This usage is not yet significant enough to radically alter gold demand, but that could change, and quite dramatically so, as space exploration increases.At the 2022 Olympics in Tokyo, the metals to make the medals came from a recycling initiative. The Japanese handed in nearly 80,000 tonnes of electrical gadgets, including laptops, digital cameras, gaming devices and 6 million phones. The appliances yielded 32kg/1,000 ounces of gold and 3,500 kg/113,000 ounces of silver. There is, I learn, about eighty times as much gold in one tonne of cellphones than there is a typical tonne of rock at a gold mine. Increased high tech means increased gold demand, but perhaps not enough to effect the price.Optics and Other High Tech UsesGold's reflective properties, combined with its stability, mean it finds use in optics—in lenses and mirrors, especially space telescopes, to reflect infrared light. Gold plates the mirrors of the celebrated James Webb telescope, the largest optical telescope in space, to optimise the mirrors' function, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. For example, the first stars, the formation of the first galaxies, and the detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.There is a Canadian company, Totenpass, which has been developing some interesting gold tech, also related to gold's longevity: “a permanent digital storage drive constructed from solid gold that requires no energy and has no movable parts. Digital data is written onto the drive by way of a proprietary light-diffraction process which imprints images, documents, and other files that can be stored as either human readable without the aid of computers or machine-readable with the employment of a smartphone. This technology allows for the permanent storage of precious digital data, thereby eliminating any future dependence on the internet and the vast amounts of energy required presently to store content. By consequence, this technology will empower both individuals and corporations to decentralize, preserve and fully control their precious digital data once and forever.” Here, it seems, is a very modern application for the extraordinary permanence of gold.If you are interested in buying gold, check out my recent report. I have a feeling it is going to come in very handy.My recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company.Gold is being used increasingly in nanotechnology. Gold nanoparticles are used in photonics (the science of light waves), especially in the development of light-based technologies for imaging and sensors. Gold's inertness makes it an excellent material for nanoparticles used as catalysts in various chemical reactions. For instance, gold nanoparticles are employed in the oxidation of carbon monoxide in air purification systems. Researchers are also exploring gold's potential as a catalyst to improve renewable energy efficiency and solar cells. Again, its conductivity and resistance to oxidation make it ideal for nanoscale electronic components.Gold is like the sun: it can kill but it can cureAs for the medical industry, gold and healing have a long, intertwined history. Gold was associated with the sun gods who bestowed health and vitality, or “helped the body produce vitamin D,” as we might put it today. (More and more health benefits from vitamin D are being discovered today, especially bone health and immune function). The Egyptian God of the Sun, Ra, the giver of life, was made of gold. Gold was the flesh of the gods. It symbolised health as well as eternal life. Apollo, the Greek God of the Sun, was often depicted with gold, and he was also the God of Healing, and father of Asclepius, the god of medicine.Gold nanoparticles are used today in medical diagnostics and treatments, including targeted drug delivery and cancer therapy, because they can be easily detected and manipulated. Additionally, gold's biocompatibility ensures it does not provoke an immune response, making it suitable for use in various biomedical applications. In 2013, researchers found that gold nanoparticles reduced the ability of HIV to reproduce and infect new cells.It is becoming one of the weapons in the battle against malaria. Of the hundreds of millions of malaria tests sold each year, many contain gold: gold nanoparticles bind with specific malaria antigens, which help quick and accurate detection of the disease. The test results can be ready in 15 minutes.Golden BuildingsGold nanoparticles also find use in occasional building materials to enhance strength and thermal regulation. Coating glass with gold can reflect the sun's heat in summer while bouncing internal heat back into rooms in winter, resulting in substantial energy savings. It is corrosion resistant too, which increases longevity.But the main reason for its use in building is opulence. On the facades of buildings, gold will give your building unique and striking appeal. Toronto's Royal Bank Plaza, the Grand Lisboa hotel and casino in Macau, and Al Yaqoub Tower in Dubai are all notable examples, as is Trump International Hotel and Tower in Las Vegas: its gleaming gold-tinted glass makes it stand out even on the Las Vegas Strip. The golden domed St. Michael's Cathedral in Kiev is also a stunning example. To use gold on a roof or facade is extravagant but perhaps not as extravagant as you might think: an ounce of gold will cover up to 1,000 square feet (90 square metres) in gold plate and it brings substantial savings. Internally, gold also finds occasional decorative use: gilded furniture, fixtures and wall decorations, such as seen at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, which makes extensive use of gold leaf in its interior design.ConclusionAll in all, exciting stuff, but none of this demand will be enough to significantly affect the price of gold. In most cases, we are talking about plate and nanoparticles. If every roof were to be coated in gold as part of some green energy initiative ordered by the government, or space travel were suddenly to get extremely popular, then I might change my mind, but neither scenario is imminent. The main source of gold demand will be what demand has always been: as a store and display of value. Jewellery and investment, in other words.Until next time,Charlie Morris is one of my closest mates and he writes what I think is one of the best investment newsletters out there, in fact a suite of them.

Prepare to embark on a journey of unparalleled elegance and regal splendor as the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses graces some of the world's most iconic venues. Set to take place on March 8, 2024, this prestigious event will unfold amidst the luxurious surroundings of Hôtel de Paris in Monaco, the majestic Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the timeless Carlton in Cannes, and the enchanting Cipriani in Venice. Prepare to be swept away by an evening of opulence and enchantment, where sophistication meets fantasy in a celebration fit for royalty.

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I delve back into my Kenya trip with a story about our safari adventure. The day kicks off with a bit of drama at the hotel over unsettled bills, before we rush to catch our train. The train station surprises us with its airport-like security checks, where a small company-branded Hanso pocket knife in my luggage causes some trouble. Thanks to Hatim's quick thinking and a small "token of friendship" to the security, we're on our way – pondering over how big the "tokens of friendship" would have to be for more serious contraband. Our safari journey is the real highlight, starting with a warm welcome by Maasai warriors and a ride in open-top Land Cruisers that sets the tone for an unforgettable experience. The campsite is luxurious, blending comfort with the raw beauty of the savannah. From cold eucalyptus-scented towels to gourmet meals under the stars, every detail is a treat. The wildlife encounters, serene landscapes, and moments of camaraderie with friends make this safari an absolute dream. It's a tale of adventure, unexpected comforts, and the sheer joy of discovering Kenya's natural wonders. The story rounds off with our last day spent in Dubai, a stark contrast of city life to the savannah's tranquility.

Imagine you're on vacation, and you decide to splurge and stay at a 5-star hotel instead of the usual 3 star one, making you acutely aware of the luxury you've been missing out on. But, what about a 7-star hotel!? Well, “lavish” and “extravagant” would be understatements. So what would actually happen if you visited a 7-star hotel? It's time to show you. Let's take the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. It's recognized as a 7-star hotel. Though, it's a 5-star hotel. But the way it got its impressive rating is pretty interesting.

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY: - It took approximately 5 years to build, and was finished in 1999. The reason it took so long to complete is that it was constructed on an artificial island. - The Architect designed it to resemble the sail of a ship. - You'll be given an option to either ride to the hotel or take a private helicopter. - The sail-like structure is built on sand. It's just over 1000 feet tall, with 250 concrete columns. Each of them is approximately 5 feet in diameter, and they dive to 148 feet below sea-levels. - Walking around, you'll see flashes of real gold from every direction: In the decorations, on the furniture, even on the chandeliers. - You're provided with an exclusive butler for your suite. You won't have to lift a finger. - The suites are so big, it'll take more than 30 minutes for the butler to show you around. - If you decide to be more adventurous and book one of the Royal Suites, you're in for a big shock. Each of the suites are approximately 8,400 square feet, and they cover the whole floor. - In order to make sure that you get top-quality sleep, the hotel does something extravagant: they present you with 17 varieties of pillows to pick from. - For lunch, you're taken to the 27th floor – The restaurants is called “Al Muntaha” which means “The highest”. The windows start from the floor, and stretch all the way up to the ceiling. - At dinner, you can book a table at the Al Mahara, which translates to Oyster Shell. You'll enter the dining room through a golden, shell-shaped corridor. - Near the restaurant, there are also a few private rooms with their own aquariums inside. They have gold shells hanging from the ceiling with special lighting. - Recently, the most luxurious bar in the world opened in the hotel, and it's called Gold on 27. It offers unique drinks, and the trained bar tenders keep their recipes secret.

Mañana día 2 de Diciembre celebra su Día Nacional Los Emiratos Árabes Unidos jamas serán vencidos. El Estados Unidos de ellos. Es un pequeño país de la península de Arabia (y así me ahorro saber si es arábica o arábiga). Como su propio nombre indica, esta formado por la unión de distintos emiratos , siete para ser exactos: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fuyaira, Ras al-Jaima, Sarja y Umm al-Qaywayn ...que está muy bien, pero que no nos vamos a engañar, aquí nadie conocía mas de dos, y esos dos son Abu Dhabi y Dubai (Juan Tamariz celebración). Como a estos mamones el dinero se la pela, llegan a pagar más dinero por una matrícula que por un coche. Hubo un pavo que pagó 11 millones de dólares por la matricula “1”. Está claro que el petróleo es aparentemente su mayor fuente de ingreso, en realidad solo supone un 10% de su PIB. El negocio gordo de Emiratos Árabes Unidos es el lujo, con hoteles, restaurantes y mierdas de esas. Como buen país islámico, el consumo de alcohol está prohibido para los emiratíes pero no así para residentes extranjeros. Estos pueden comprar y consumir alcohol si se cumplen estas dos condiciones: Ser mayor de 21 años No ser un tieso (esto es literal, para comprar alcohol, debes probar que no eres un tieso) Es una licencia que se renueva cada año, es decir no puedes ser un tieso el año que viene. El 90% de la población es extranjera, y conviven más de 150 nacionalidades diferentes...riete tú del gobierno más progresista de la historia. Como son tan poco emiratíes, el gobierno los incentiva para que no se larguen, y les dan 3000 dólares al mes solo por ser ellos...es una pena que no se lo puedan gastar en whisky. El sueldo medio para un trabajador no cualificado que sea emiratí es de 10000 dólares al mes...imaginate el que sepa… Y lo mejor , si dos emiratíes se casan, por supuesto de distinto sexo, que allí no hay homosexuales, y si los hay ya se encargan de que no se vean, el gobierno les da 23000 dolares y una vivienda. Ya os digo yo que la vivienda no es de VPO. Y encima esperarán sobrecito el dia de la boda. Con la pasta que ganan allí...¿cuanto se mete en la boda de dos emiratíes? Muchos pensaréis ...coño vamos a hacernos emiratíes. Pues eso no es posible. Para ser emiratí, debes aportar un certificado de ascendencia, que demuestre ascendencia emiratí desde antes de 1925. Asi que se mira pero no se toca. Tienen el primer hotel de 7 estrellas del mundo, porque ponerle seis les parecía de tiesos. Es el hotel Burj Al Arab. A mi esto me recuerda a la famosa secuencia de Las Aventuras de Mordadelo y Filemón de Javier Fesser, cuando un personaje dice: - Voy a proclamar la cuarta guerra mundial. - Será la tercera - Si es por acojonar hombre!! Alli es que todo el lujo: Las paradas de autobús tienen aire acondicionado, porque esperar el C2 a 55 grados debe ser jodido. Y nosotros pasando calor en el estudio Iñaki Gabilondo. Uno de sus platos típicos es el Machboos que no deja de ser la contribución emiratí al arroz con cosas. Pasos Lavar el arroz y dejarlo en remojo con agua tibia durante 30 minutos En una cazuela con mantequilla o aceite poner las cebollas picadas y remover a fuego lento hasta que se ponga dorada, agregar el cardamomo, el clavo y la canela y remover durante 5 minutos. Agregar el pollo o el cordero y el pimiento verde cortado en juliana y remover hasta que la carne esté dorada. Añadir los tomates maduros rallados y cocinar a fuego lento durante 20 minutos. Incorporar la salsa de tomate, el laurel, el cilantro, el comino molido, la pimienta negra y la cúrcuma. Remover durante 5 minutos. Añadir agua caliente y cocinar a fuego mediano hasta que la carne esté hecha. Sacar la carne del caldo y colocarla en una fuente, agregar el arroz de forma que se sumerja en el caldo como un dedo. Se puede añadir agua según sea necesario. Y cocinar a fuego lento después de que el arroz empiece a hervir. Colocar el arroz en una bandeja grande, añadir los trozos de carne, adornar con frutos secos, rodajas de limón y pasas – opcional -. Espolvorear perejil picado y servir. El himno para ser un pais tas sobrado...yo creo que les ha quedado regular. Hay ostentación en el himno SÍ, al principio se parece mas al himno de Japón, TAMBIÉN...pero sobre todo es que parece una canción infantil de los teletubbies.

On this episode we hear from Mona. The first Emirati woman I have interviewed whom, as you will hear through the episode, chose to work in hospitality, which is very rare in the UAE as a woman. One of her first roles was at the Burj Al Arab in training, where she worked with one of my previous podcast hosts, Caroline Stevens. With the desire to help people and make maximum impact, she went onto having a career in HR across various hotels in Dubai. She talks about her ambition and how she wanted to be the best. She took the time to educate herself, work on her self-development and something she invests in always is lifelong learning. One of her professional learnings is, if you want to create real impact, you have to do things out of the normal. She also real about her experiences of speaking up, you may come across people who will not appreciate it. Moments like this, turn to your internal compass and believe in what you did. She shares more of her journey in her book 'Beat the odds'.

Re-broadcast! Going all the way back to the beginning we bring you some of my favourite conversations from The Modern Club Management podcast. Watch out for some new episodes coming soon.Today I am excited to be joined by global luxury hospitality leader Etienne Haro (LinkedIn). Etienne is the Hotel Manager of La Mamounia in Marrakesh.

These roles followed six years in Dubai leading the food and beverage operation at a number of InterContinental Hotels. And while doing all this Etienne has even found time to complete an MBA from the prestigious EHL Hospitality Business School. Etienne talks about what made him switch from a planned career in ... to hospitality, what drew him to a life of service in hospitality and puts a smile on his face. We discuss talent equity and balancing the workload across all employees; not overloading your superstars. Etienne describes the importance of alignment with your operation, the power and importance of storytelling, taking control over all the facets that deliver on amazing guest experiences, and the non-obvious things he would look at in a F&B operation to move the level up, plus much more. This was one of my favourite conversations and one that I personally took copious amounts of notes on after re-listening a few times!Quotes in the episodeMaya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better.

Egypt's PMI rose in June to 49.1, its highest level in almost two years. The cabinet has denied rumors circulating about the Customs Authority banning the import of a list of goods for a three-month period. Cabinet approved a decision lifting current controls on foreign ownership of real estate, provided that foreigners pay for their purchases in hard currency and via bank transfer to a state-owned bank. Ministers approved two draft decisions allocating state owned land in New Cairo and Sixth of October to international real estate developers, to be paid for in USD. Foreign investors will be allowed to register as importers with 10-year licenses. The Parliament's Economic Affairs Committee approved amendments to the Investment Law aimed at expanding incentives, while the Budget and Planning Committee approved a draft bill reinstating taxes on state entities. According to the Institute of International Finance (IIF), adopting a flexible exchange rate will be key to resolving the imbalances and rebuilding reserves. The Finance Ministry will pay out the latest batch of export subsidies on 12-13 July. The cabinet approved a USD733 mn loan from the Japanese International Corporation Agency (JICA) to finance the construction of Cairo Metro Line 4. Cabinet approved in principle a plan put forward by French manufacturer Alstom to establish an industrial complex in Alexandria's Burj Al Arab. Scatec signed a land allocation agreement with the Electricity Ministry for a planned 5-GW wind farm in Sohag governorate. Infinity Power acquires Lekela power for USD850 million. EGX announced that TAQA will start trading next Sunday, 9 July 2023. We remind you with our multiples-based valuation which valued TAQA at EGP7.8 billion, or EGP5.75/share. According to the IFA report of Both SKPC and Ethydco, SKPC (including 20% of Ethydco) is worth EGP23 billion (EGP30.6/share) and Ethydco is worth EGP33.5 billion.

One, he says, forces athletes to consume artificial ingredients. This leads to their larger food values and dietary restrictions becoming compromised. This discovery led Melonas down the path of creating a cutting-edge, endurance supplement line and endurance foods. The goal: using real ingredients designed to support the health and performance of endurance athletes of all levels worldwide.   Adam Melonas understands the frustrations of inadequate fueling products and has assembled an expert team to develop FastFood - which is a high-performance fuel made from 100% real food. click this link to recieve a special One Moment Longer offer of 25% off all products from LoveFastFood.com   Press play and listen to why Adam epitomises the saying "Success comes to those who endure One Moment Longer"   Links Be sure and check out bennettendurance.com Find Greg on social media: Twitter @GregBennett1 Instagram @GregBennettWorld   And follow Adam Melonas click this link to recieve a special One Moment Longer offer of 25% off all products from LoveFastFood.com linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-melonas-b9086941/ twitter: https://twitter.com/adamchef instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamchef websites: https://lovefastfood.com/ https://www.chewinnovation.com/who   Timestamps 2:25 - Up each day at 4am and training before his 3 kids wake up, Adam describes his usual day and juggle of the entreprenuer of a start-up, and the demands of training for his next Ironman. it's about managing the smiles and cries in each day 8:05 - Armed with an eclectic background in food and culture, Adam left his native Australia at the young age of 19 to become Executive Chef at Otto's—a fine dining restaurant in London.

Auswandern Dubai: diese Fragen werden mir am häufigsten gestellt.   Ein kleiner Spoiler vorab: Auf Grund der aktuellen wirtschaftlichen und sicherheitspolitischen Lage in Deutschland habe ich überlegt, wie ich meinen Hörern helfen kann und habe mir folgendes überlegt:   Zum Schluss habe ich noch eine Überraschung für Dich, wofür mich schon einige für verrückt gehalten haben: Ich biete jedem, der diese Episode komplett anhört – und das ist wirklich eine Bedingung auf Vertrauensbasis -  also jedem, der diese Episode anhört und wirklich mit dem Gedanken spielt, nach Dubai auszuwandern, ein absolut kostenloses Beratungsgespräch an. Aber dafür bitte wirklich erst die Episode anhören, da ich im Gespräch nicht noch mal das erklären will, was ich hier schon alles sage. Ok?   Struktur: Auswandern Dubai: Ist Dubai ein Land oder eine Stadt? Bevölkerung Dubai Lebenshaltungskosten Arbeitsmöglichkeiten Visa-Möglichkeiten Wohnungsmarkt Wie schaut es mit Kriminalität aus? Wie steht es um Frauenrechte in Dubai? Mit Kindern nach Dubai? Autofahren in Dubai & Transportmöglichkeiten Unternehmer sein in Dubai Geschäftsklima Infrastruktur Standortvorteile Multikulturelle Bevölkerung Steuerfreies Leben   Also, los geht's mit dem Thema Auswandern Dubai   Auswandern Dubai: Ist Dubai ein Land oder eine Stadt? Dubai ist eine Stadt und ein Bundesstaat in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten (VAE). Es ist einer der sieben Emirate, die die VAE bilden und gehört zu den am schnellsten wachsenden Wirtschaftsräumen der Welt. Dubai ist bekannt für seine futuristische Architektur, sein reiches Kulturangebot, seine luxuriösen Einkaufszentren und seine beliebten Touristenattraktionen wie den Burj Khalifa, dem höchsten Gebäude der Welt, und den Burj Al Arab, einem der luxuriösesten Hotels der Welt. Dubai ist auch ein wichtiger Finanzplatz und ein beliebter Wohnort für Menschen aus der ganzen Welt. Es ist bekannt für seine fortschrittlichen Infrastrukturen und seine wirtschaftliche Stabilität, die es zu einem attraktiven Ziel für Ausländer und Investoren macht. Insgesamt ist Dubai ein lebendiger und pulsierender Teil der VAE, der sowohl für Geschäftsmänner als auch für Touristen ein beliebtes Ziel ist.   Auswandern Dubai: Bevölkerung Dubai Die Bevölkerung von Dubai, besteht aus einer Vielfalt an Nationalitäten. Laut Schätzungen aus dem Jahr 2021 beträgt die Bevölkerungszahl von Dubai etwa 2,7 Millionen Menschen, wovon nur etwa 15% Einheimische sind. Der Rest der Bevölkerung besteht aus Ausländern. Die größte Gruppe unter den Ausländern in Dubai stellen indische Staatsbürger dar, gefolgt von Filipinos, Pakistanis. Die größten europäischen Gemeinschaften sind aus England, Frankreich, Deutschland, Russland und die restlichen Länder Europas sind eher gering vertreten. Aufgrund seiner wirtschaftlichen Stabilität und fortschrittlichen Infrastruktur ist Dubai ein beliebtes Ziel für Ausländer auf der Suche nach besseren Lebensbedingungen und Karrieremöglichkeiten. Die Vielfalt der Bevölkerung von Dubai trägt zu seiner reichen Kultur bei und macht es zu einem toleranten und weltoffenen Zentrum für Internationalität in den VAE.   Auswandern Dubai: Lebenshaltungskosten Die Lebenshaltungskosten in Dubai sind im Vergleich zu anderen Städten im Nahen Osten höher, aber im Vergleich zu vergleichbaren westlichen Metropolen wie London, New York, Paris oder München recht günstig. Die Mietkosten für eine Wohnung hängen von der Lage und Größe der Wohnung ab. Aber eine einfache, kleine Wohnung kann für einen Monat etwa ab ca. 800 Euro kosten. Große Luxus-Penthouse-Wohnungen in den teuersten Stadtteilen können aber auch schnell mal deutlich über 10.000 Euro/ Monat kosten. Lebensmittel sind in Dubai in etwa vergleichbar wie in Deutschland. Manche Sachen, z.B. Milchprodukte, sind deutlich teurer, andere dafür deutlich günstiger. Aber es gibt viele Discount-Supermärkte, die preiswerte Lebensmittel anbieten. Öffentlicher Nahverkehr, wie Busse und Taxis, ist günstig und zuverlässig. Ein eigener Pkw ist hier auch super günstig. Die Anschaffungspreise sind deutlich geringer wie in Deutschland und auch der Unterhalt ist lächerlich gering. So kostet ein Wagen der oberen Mittelklasse ca. 500 Euro Unterhalt pro Jahr.   Auswandern Dubai: Arbeitsmöglichkeiten Für deutsche Staatsbürger gibt es in Dubai eine Vielzahl von Arbeitsmöglichkeiten, die in einer Reihe von Branchen angeboten werden. Deutsche Staatsbürger haben einige Vorteile aufgrund ihrer hohen Bildungs- und Fachkompetenz, ihrer Fähigkeit, mehrere Sprachen zu sprechen, und ihrer Fähigkeit, im Team zu arbeiten. Einige Branchen, in denen deutsche Staatsbürger besondere Vorteile haben, können sein: Automobilindustrie: Dubai ist ein wichtiger Umschlagplatz für die Automobilindustrie im Nahen Osten und ein wichtiger Absatzmarkt für europäische Automarken. Deutsche Staatsbürger, die über Fachkenntnisse in der Automobilbranche verfügen, können hier besondere Vorteile haben. Maschinenbau: Dubai ist ein wichtiger Absatzmarkt für deutsche Maschinenbauprodukte, insbesondere im Bereich des Bauwesens und der Infrastruktur. Deutsche Staatsbürger, die über eine Ausbildung oder eine Karriere im Maschinenbau verfügen, haben hier gute Chancen auf Arbeit. Finanzwesen: Dubai ist ein wichtiger Finanzplatz im Nahen Osten und ein wichtiger Standort für internationale Banken und Finanzinstitute. Deutsche Staatsbürger, die über Fachkenntnisse im Finanzwesen verfügen, können hier besondere Vorteile haben. IT: Dubai ist ein wichtiger Standort für IT-Unternehmen und ein wichtiger Absatzmarkt für europäische IT-Produkte. Deutsche Staatsbürger, die über Fachkenntnisse im IT-Bereich verfügen, können hier besondere Vorteile haben. Natürlich macht es in Dubai auch Sinn, seine eigene Firma zu gründen. Denn Deutsche sind, so wie in der restlichen Welt, auch in Dubai sehr hoch angesehen.   Auswandern Dubai: Visa-Möglichkeiten Für deutsche Staatsbürger gibt es in Dubai verschiedene Visa-Optionen, je nachdem, welchem Zweck sie dienen und für wie lange man in Dubai bleiben möchte. Hier sind einige der häufigsten Visa-Optionen: Touristenvisum: Ein Touristenvisum ist für kurze Aufenthalte von bis zu 90 Tagen geeignet. Es kann online oder über ein lokales Reisebüro beantragt werden. Arbeitsvisum: Ein Arbeitsvisum ermöglicht es einer Person, für eine bestimmte Dauer in Dubai zu arbeiten. Es kann von einem lokalen Arbeitgeber oder einer Agentur beantragt werden. Aufenthaltsvisum (Residence-Visa) – für Selbständige und Unternehmer: Ein Aufenthaltsvisum ermöglicht es einer Person, für einen längeren Zeitraum in Dubai zu bleiben. Es kann von einem Ehepartner oder einem Verwandten in Dubai beantragt werden.   Auswandern Dubai: Wohnungsmarkt Es gibt eine große Auswahl an Wohnungen in verschiedenen Stadtteilen und Preiskategorien, von luxuriösen Apartments bis hin zu günstigeren Studios. Und da in Dubai in Rekordgeschwindigkeit weitergebaut wird, wird der Wohnraum auch auf absehbarer Zeit nicht knapp werden.   Auswandern Dubai: Wie schaut es mit Kriminalität aus? Dubai gilt als eine sichere Stadt, in der Kriminalität selten vorkommt. Die Polizei hat eine starke Präsenz und arbeitet hart daran, dass die Stadt sicher bleibt. Insgesamt ist Dubai jedoch eine Stadt, in der man sich sicher fühlen kann, und es gibt keine Bedenken, was die allgemeine Sicherheit betrifft.   Auswandern Dubai: Wie steht es um Frauenrechte in Dubai? Die Häufigste Frage, dich ich hierzu erhalte: Müssen sich alle Frauen in Dubai verschleiern? NEIN! Das hört sich jetzt komisch an, aber in Dubai sehe ich weniger voll verschleierte Frauen rumlaufen als z.B. in München. Und in Dubai sehe ich auch viel mehr Frauen in knappen Mini-Röcken oder sexy Kleidchen, als in München. Fazit hierzu: Frauen können sich so kleiden, wie sie wollen. Einzig der Zutritt zu Regierungsgebäuden oder religiösen Einrichtungen müssen Schultern und Kniee bedeckt sein. Aber das gilt gleichermaßen für Männer. Frauen jeglicher Nationalität gibt es in Dubai dieselben Rechte und Regeln. Frauen, die in Dubai leben oder arbeiten, können dieselben Karrieremöglichkeiten nutzen und dieselben Freiheiten genießen wie Männer. Meiner Beobachtung nach, und das hat sich auch in unserem Freundes und Bekanntenkreis bestätigt, werden Frauen in Dubai extrem zuvorkommend behandelt. Hier ist es noch üblich, dass sich die Männer Frauen gegenüber wie Gentlemen verhalten. Das sieht man z.b. daran, dass es absolut selbstverständlich ist, dass Frauen die Tür aufgehalten und vorrangig der Eintritt gewährt wird. Wenn es in den öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel zu Stoßzeiten voll ist und alle Sitzplätze belegt sind, dann ist es selbstverständlich, dass ein Mann aufsteht und einer Frau seinen Sitzplatz anbietet. Das gleich gilt natürlich auch für Ältere und Gebrechliche Menschen, denen natürlich auch sofort Sitzplätze angeboten werden. Und meiner Meinung sollte das auch genauso sein. Ebenfalls nach eigener Erfahrung und Gesprächen mit anderen Frauen, fühlen sich die Frauen hier auch sicher, wenn sie Nachts um 3 vom Club nachhause gehen und alleine über Menschenleere Straßen gehen, ohne Angst vor Übergriffen haben zu müssen.   Auswandern Dubai: Mit Kindern nach Dubai? Ja, Dubai kann als kinderfreundlich bezeichnet werden. Es gibt viele Freizeitmöglichkeiten und Aktivitäten für Kinder, wie zum Beispiel Freizeitparks, Wasserparks, Zoos und andere Attraktionen. Auch in Bezug auf Bildung gibt es eine große Auswahl an internationalen Schulen und Kinderbetreuungseinrichtungen, die eine gute Betreuung und Bildung für Kinder bieten. Es gibt auch viele Wohnmöglichkeiten, die besonders auf Familien mit Kindern ausgelegt sind, wie zum Beispiel Wohnanlagen mit Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen und Spielplätzen.   Auswandern Dubai: Autofahren in Dubai & Transportmöglichkeiten In Dubai kann man mit einem deutschen Führerschein Auto fahren. Wenn man fest auswandert, kann man einen emiratischen Führerschein beantragen, welcher nach Vorlage des deutschen einfach umgeschrieben wird. Den deutschen kann man natürlich behalten. Jedoch ist es viel lustiger, wenn man bei einer Verkehrskontrolle in der deutschen Heimat dann den emiratischen Führerschein vorlegt ;) Abgesehen von Autofahren gibt es in Dubai ein gut entwickeltes öffentliches Verkehrssystem, darunter Taxis, Busse, Straßenbahnen, die Dubai Metro und auch Uber.   Auswandern Dubai: Unternehmer sein in Dubai Hier sind einige der wichtigsten Vorteile: Geschäftsklima: Dubai hat ein sehr günstiges Geschäftsklima und bietet eine große Anzahl von Handelsmöglichkeiten und Geschäftschancen. Infrastruktur: Dubai verfügt über eine hervorragende Infrastruktur, einschließlich eines modernen Flughafens, eines effizienten Straßen- und Schienennetzwerks sowie eines ausgezeichneten Telekommunikationsnetzes. Standortvorteile: Dubai ist ein wichtiger Knotenpunkt im Nahen Osten und verfügt über eine hervorragende Verkehrsanbindung zu anderen Teilen der Welt. Multikulturelle Bevölkerung: Dubai ist eine multikulturelle Gesellschaft mit einer vielfältigen Bevölkerung aus aller Welt, was es Unternehmen erleichtert, internationale Geschäftskontakte zu knüpfen. Steuerfreie Zone: Dubai ist eine Steuerfreie Zone, was bedeutet, dass Unternehmer keine Einkommens- oder Körperschaftsteuer zahlen müssen. Es wird zwar ab 2023 eine Corporate Tax von 9% eingeführt werden, welche aber nicht für alle Firmen gelten wird. Aber selbst wenn man zu den Firmen zählt die es betrifft, gibt es großzügige Freibeträge. Es gibt aber auch weiterhin die Möglichkeit, seine Firma völlig legal 100% steuerfrei zu führen. Das bedeutet, denn Du Deinem Kunden für eine Dienstleistung z.B. € 1.000 in Rechnung stellst, überweist er Dir € 1.000 und Du darfst auch tatsächlich 1.000 Euro behalten. Im Vergleich zu Deiner Firma in Deutschland erhältst Du, alleine durch den Umzug nach Dubai eine „Lohnerhöhung“, bzw. eine Gewinnsteigerung von 100%! – Weil Du keine Steuern zahlst und jeden Cent behalten darfst!   Auswandern Dubai: eine geniale Möglichkeit - vor allem für Unternehmer und Selbständige Wie Du siehst, bietet Dubai geniale Möglichkeiten für Auswanderer. Natürlich gibt es auch in Dubai Dinge, die nicht perfekt sind und man anders machen könnte. Aber das gibt es in jedem Land. Kein Land ist perfekt, aber Dubai ist schon verdammt nah dran.

Dodamies uz kādu Arābijas pussalas valsti, kas atrodas pie Persijas līča, uz Apvienotiem Arābu Emirātiem. Tā ir viena no atpazīstamākajām valstīm pasaulē, bet uzreiz jāsaka, ka Arābu Emirāti sastāv no septiņiem emirātiem. Un noteikti klausītāji zinās Dubaiju un  Abū Dabī, tomēr vēl pastāv Šārdža, Ras al-Khaima, Ajman, Ummelkaivaina un Fudžeira. Kā jau pieņemts, katrā no emirātiem ir atšķirīga kultūra un tradīcijas. Pasaulei Apvienotie Arābu Emirāti (AAE) ir zināmi ar daudzām lietām, vai tā ir EXPO izstāde, vai arī Dubaijas lielākais iepirkšanās mols, tāpat AAE atroda,s saskaņā ar Ginesa Pasaules rekordu grāmatu, pasaulē augstākā ēka - Burj Khalifa. Debesskrāpis ir 828 metrus augsts un atrodas tā Dubaijā. Dubaijā, starp citu, atrodas arī pasaulē pirmā ar 3D drukātā komerciālā ēka. Birojā, kas izveidots tikai ar vienu 3D printeri, drukāšana prasīja 17 dienas un montāža prasīja vēl papildus trīs mēnešus. Un ne tikai tas, Arābu Emirātos atrodas arī vienīga pasaulē septiņu zvaigžņu viesnīca Burj Al Arab (tā bura, ko bildēs tik daudz esam redzējuši), vidējās izmaksas par nakti šajā viesnīcā ir aptuveni 22 tūkstoši eiro. Viesnīcā ir 60 stāvi un tā ir 321 metrus augsta. Tā bija pasaulē augstākā viesnīca, kad tā tika atvērta 1999. gadā. Vēl viena netradicionālā iezīme ir mākslīgās salas. Slavenākā no tām ir Palm Džumeira, mākslīgs palmas formas arhipelāgs, kurā atrodas luksusa viesnīcas, pludmales un dzīvo aptuveni 80  tūkstoši cilvēku. Citi mākslīgo salu projekti ietver Yas salu Abū Dabī, kur atrodas Pirmās formulas sacīkšu trase. Runājot par Arābu Emirātiem, vajadzētu runāt arī par valsts ekonomiku, kas ir ne tikai tās neatņemama sastāvdaļa, bet arī AAE bagātības zīmols, aicinot turīgākos un bagātākos ārzemniekus izbaudīt dzīvi šajā valstī. Starp citu Arābu Emirāti ir otrā bagātākā valsts Tuvajos Austrumos aiz Kataras un astotā bagātākā valsts pasaulē, ja to mēra pēc IKP uz vienu iedzīvotāju, pamatojoties uz pirktspējas paritāti. Arābu Emirātu ekonomikā dominē nafta. Abū Dabī, bagātākajā no emirātiem, ir viena no lielākajām pārbaudīto naftas rezervju koncentrācijām pasaulē. Bet pirms naftas atklāšanas 20. gadsimta vidū AAE ekonomika galvenokārt balstījās uz zvejniecību un pērļu rūpniecību. Kad 60. gados sākās naftas eksports, valsts ekonomika strauji mainījās. Par pērļu rūpniecību var minēt interesantu faktu, ka pasaulē vecākā pērle tika atklāta tieši Arābu Emirātos – Maravas salā. Pērle ir datēta ar 5800 – 5600. gadu pirms kristus, kad cilvēki izmantoja pērles rotāšanai. Eksperti domā, ka pērles tika tirgotas ar seno Mezopotāmiju, lai iegūtu keramiku un citas preces. Kopumā Arābu Emirātiem ir atvērta ekonomika ar augstiem ienākumiem uz vienu iedzīvotāju un ievērojamu gada tirdzniecības pārpalikumu. Jāsaka, ka emigranti veido aptuveni 85% no 5,3 miljoniem AAE darbaspēka. Veiksmīgie ekonomikas diversifikācijas centieni ir samazinājuši naftas un gāzes nozares IKP daļu līdz 30%. Tomēr kopējā Arābu Emirātu atkarība no naftas ir nozīmīgs ilgtermiņa izaicinājums, lai gan AAE ir viena no diversificētākajām ekonomikām Persijas līča sadarbības padomē. Zemās naftas cenas ir mudinājušas AAE samazināt izdevumus, tostarp dažās sociālajās programmās, taču AAE ir pietiekams aktīvu uzkrājums valsts investīciju fondos, lai segtu deficītu. Tūrisms ir viena no augošākajām nozarēm AAE, un tieši Dubaija ir piektais populārākais tūrisma galamērķis pasaulē. Vienlaicīgi, kā bieži dzirdēts, Apvienoto Arābu Emirāti nav tikai tūrisma, bet arī arvien biežāks kapitāla “bēgšanas” mērķis. Konkrēti Krievijas kapitāls, bieži kopā ar pašiem krieviem,  ir bēdzis šogad uz Emirātiem. Bet AAE iekšpolitika ir ļoti atšķirīga no Latvijas. Kā minējām, Apvienotie Arābu Emirāti ir vēlēta monarhija, kas izveidota no septiņiem emirātiem. Katru no šiem emirātiem pārvalda emīrs, un kopā emīri veido Federālo Augstāko padomi. Federālās Augstākās padomes locekļi no sava vidus ievēl prezidentu un viceprezidentu. Praksē gan Abū Dabī emīrs pilda prezidenta pienākumus, savukārt Dubaijas valdnieks ir viceprezidents un arī premjerministrs. Vēl AAE ir interesants pilsoņu un nepilsoņu sadalījums. Arābu Emirāti jau daudzus gadus ir uzņēmuši ārvalstu pilsoņus no jebkuras pasaules malas. Aptuveni 80% valsts iedzīvotāju ir ārvalstu pilsoņi. 10 miljonu iedzīvotāju lielo valsti četrās piektdaļās veido imigranti, kuru izcelsme ir no vairāk nekā 200 valstīm. Piemēram, Indija, Pakistāna, Bangladeša un Filipīnas. Savukārt pašu Arābu Emirātu pilsoņu īpatsvars ir tikai 11 procenti. Tik mazs skaits ir izskaidrojums ar lielajiem plusiem, ko sniedz pilsonība, un ar to, cik grūti to iegūt. Arābu Emirātu pilsonība sniedz vairākas ļoti ienesīgas priekšrocības. Papildus pasei, kas ir viena no spēcīgākajām mobilitātes jomā pasaulē, pašreizējie Arābu Emirātu pilsoņi gūst labumu no 0% nodokļa no personīgajiem un uzņēmumu ienākumiem, subsidētu degvielu un pasaules līmeņa izglītību un veselības aprūpi, nekustamā īpašuma stimulus un vēlamās likmes, pensiju un citus pensijas pabalstus no 49 gadu vecuma. Tāpat papildus 14 tūkstošu eiro lielu grantu kāzu rīkošanai un daudzas citas priekšrocības. Lai gan arī citu valstu pilsoņi bauda daudzas Arābu Emirātu rezidences priekšrocības, piemēram, augstu dzīves kvalitāti, drošu un stabilu vidi un relatīvi nelielus nodokļus, līdz šim pilsonība ar tajā iekļautajiem plusiem daudzu paaudžu garumā tiem nebija pieejama. Nesen gan Arābu Emirāti paziņoja par plašām izmaiņām pilsonības un imigrācijas sistēmā. Saskaņā ar jaunajiem noteikumiem talantīgi ārzemnieki dažādās jomās var kļūt par valsts pilsoņiem.

As I was working on the next episodes from Saudi Arabia, I came across a recording from the car when I was driving across the country with Cynthia Rignanese – who calls herself “Cynthia Globe” because she travels so much. In fact, Saudi Arabia is her country number 124. She's a lawyer from Florida and has her own law firm, which allows her to take a lot of time off to travel the globe. And this episode comes out just a few days before we meet again for another epic journey in four African countries. Ghana, Togo, Benin, and São Tomé & Príncipe. But that's another story. PLAY THE GAME & TRY NOT TO HIT A CAMEL In this one, we play a game as we're driving across the Saudi desert, trying to avoid hitting one of the many camels walking across the road from time to time. And the speedbumps. Oh my god, the speedbumps... They just come out of nowhere without any warning. The game basically goes like this: We take turns asking simply, “would you rather A or B questions”. And here they are so you can start thinking about what you would answer yourself. Would you rather go to the Arctics or Antarctica? The north- or the south pole? Would you rather go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia or do the Rickshaw Challenge, driving a tuk-tuk yourself for ten days in India? Would you rather spend a weekend in the seven-star luxury hotel, Burj Al Arab in Dubai, or in a glamping tent in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania? Would you rather ride a camel or an ostrich? Would you rather do the Trans-Siberian Railroad or go dog sledging in Eastern Greenland? MEET CYNTHIA - AGAIN I met Cynthia in Florida when I was there in 2021, and you might remember the episode where we talked about how she got into collecting passport stamps. If not, go back and listen to that one too. RIDING AN OSTRICH IS WRONG We're having fun talking about the thrill of riding an ostrich in our conversation. But according to PETA UK, it is cruel to ride an ostrich. PETA stands for The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. An article says that the ostrich skeleton is not designed to support a human's weight, and this practice is likely to harm the physiology of the animals. We all live and learn (as we should), like when I went swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas and later learned that you should not support places where they keep and train dolphins in captivity. Listen to the episode about that if you want to hear more. In another article from PETA called “Holiday Attractions You Need to Avoid”, they also say: ”Please, never ride an elephant, a horse, a donkey, a camel, or any other animal at a tourist attraction.”  Specifically, when it comes to camel riding, they say that “Camels are intelligent, sensitive animals who suffer when forced to give rides to tourists. In some parts of the world, these regal animals being beaten bloody with sticks before being sold to the tourism industry. They are used for rides in the blistering heat, they are denied access to food, water, and shade.”  I'm not saying it happens everywhere ... but maybe, so make your own choices. When I rode camels in Morocco and the Dubai desert, I had no idea. Now, I don't need to do that again. MALAYSIAN VISITING GREENLAND We talked about visiting eastern Greenland, and I mentioned an interview we did when I was producing the LEGO Art podcast about the World Map. Here Malaysian-born, Wani Baumgartner talks about her trip there. We also speak to other amazing world travellers, like Thor Petersen, Dane and Stacey, and Earnest White III. If you want to hear the whole thing, go to LEGO.com/Art and click on the World Map. LET'S DO IT AGAIN, CYNTHIA This was fun. I'll see if I can persuade Cynthia to do another when we're soon travelling through Africa. The luxury train in southern Africa I was talking about is called Rovos. Go to Rovos.com to see more about that. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.

ESG – a holistic concept that has roots dating back to the 1960s, has evolved over the decades gaining more traction in recent years within the corporate sustainability context. Referring to the environmental (‘E'), social (‘S') and governance (‘G') pillars within the sustainability framework, they are key to addressing the impacts of corporate activities and investments on people and the planet. With the current lack of unified reporting standards, definition and many frameworks influencing the ESG space, we gathered a network of experts and an all-star panel from different industries, contexts and trajectories to discuss the challenges and highlight opportunities around ESG reporting – from regulation and standardization to quality data collection and the measurement of impact. This think tank was run by Goumbook in partnership with Emex and hosted by Jumeirah Group in their flagship hotel Burj Al Arab on 3rd of June, 2022.  It included a presentation by Daniel Gribbin - VP of Sustainability and ESG at Emex, and a panel discussion that was moderated by Tatiana Antonelli Abella, featuring Mohamad El Khalil - Director of Prudential Supervision at DFSA, Mariam Alqubaisi - Head of Sustainability and Business Excellence at Etihad, Adrienne Doolan - CEO of Green Touches and Board Member of UN Global Compact Network UAE, and Ashraf Abdelkhalek - Sustainability, Health and Safety Leader for Gulf Countries at Schneider Electric.

Learn more at https://alonakoenigphotography.com/weddings/ Everything You Need to Know About Planning Your Dubai Wedding. If you've ever fantasized about exchanging vows in the beautiful city of Dubai, this is what you need to know. We'll go over everything you need to know about arranging a wedding in Dubai, from selecting the ideal venue to hiring the proper vendors, in this post. So, whether you're just getting started planning your big day or are well into it, keep reading for some helpful tips. Here are the things you need to consider, starting with The Location. One of the most crucial decisions you'll make while arranging your Dubai wedding is selecting a wedding venue. When choosing a venue, there are several aspects to consider, including budget, guest count, and desired mood. After you've considered these factors, you may begin to limit down your choices. The Dubai Opera House is a favorite choice among couples searching for a lavish venue. Consider staying at the Burj Al Arab, one of the world's most recognizable hotels. The Palm Jumeirah is also a great alternative if you prefer an outside wedding with magnificent views of the metropolitan skyline. 2. Recruiting Vendors. It's time to start hiring suppliers when you've secured your location. This is when things can become a little daunting, because you'll need to acquire a lot of different vendors to pull off your perfect wedding. To make things a little easier, compile a list of must-have suppliers (think: photographer, florist, caterer, etc.) and then start looking for them. When it comes to finding vendors in Dubai, we recommend asking friends or family members who have previously married in the city for advice. Before making any final judgments, study internet evaluations and meet with possible merchants in person. 3. Make a Menu Plan. It's time to start preparing your menu now that you've secured your venue and vendors. One of the most crucial – and often most difficult – components of wedding preparation is choosing a venue. We recommend seeking the services of a professional caterer if you're not sure where to begin. They'll be able to assist you in creating a menu that not only suits your budget but also reflects your own preferences. 4. Locating the Ideal Photographer. Finding the appropriate photographer is one of the most crucial – and often most difficult – components of wedding planning. It can be difficult to limit down your options in Dubai because there are so many outstanding photographers. We propose that you begin your search by looking at possible photographers' portfolios and reading internet reviews. Once you've chosen a handful you like, make an appointment to meet with them in person to discuss your wedding photography concept. Some Other Considerations. There are a few extra considerations to address when organizing your wedding in Dubai. For example, before your big day, you'll need to get a marriage license from the Dubai Courts. You should also double-check that all of your vendors (including your photographer) have the necessary permits to work in the city. Final Thoughts on Wedding Planning in Dubai. Although planning a Dubai wedding may appear to be a difficult undertaking, if you follow these guidelines, you will be able to put together a stunning and memorable celebration. Congratulations, and good luck with your plans!

In this episode, the Senior Vice President Operations Middle East and Africa at Minor Hotel Amir Golbarg tells me, some of its hotels are back to pre pandemic levels. Amir who has been attending the 16th Meetings Africa in Johannesburg South Africa says Minor Hotels is committed to expanding its enviable footprint in Africa.  Amir Golbarg heads up Operations in the Middle East and Africa region for Minor Hotels, in addition to the Indian Ocean islands of the Seychelles and Mauritius. Minor Hotels' portfolio currently totals 528 hotels in 56 countries and includes the highly-acclaimed luxury Anantara brand and the upscale Avani brand. Amir currently oversees a total of 33 properties in operation across ten countries and four brands, in addition to driving the development of a strong pipeline of properties within the region across multiple brands. This will see the launch of two new brands – NH Collection and NH Hotels – to the region later this year. Joining the Minor Hotels regional team in March 2019 as Vice President Operations for the Middle East, North Africa, Mauritius, and Seychelles, Amir was promoted in September 2021 to Senior Vice President Operations, including adding the group's operation in Southern Africa into the mix. Amir previously held the strategic position of Chief Operating Officer at Al Rayyan Hospitality and Corporate Director – Asset Management at Katara Hospitality. Both entities are subsidiaries of the state-owned Qatar Investment Authority and in this dual role, Amir supported the State of Qatar with the opening and positioning of government assets and hotels both locally and internationally, in addition to managing a portfolio of operating entities and opening five luxury properties. These included the relaunch of Ritz Carlton Doha, the rebranding of the Six Senses Spa with Chiva-Som Resort in Thailand, the renovation of Raffles Singapore and the acquisition of Grosvenor House London. A graduate of Glion Institute of Higher Education, Amir began his career in hospitality in 2004 and held various front of house roles for prestigious hotels such as Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai. Amir first joined Minor Hotels in 2012 as Director of Operations & Hotel Openings based in the Bangkok Corporate Office. He then held several international positions with Minor, before becoming Hotel Manager at Souq Waqif Hotel Doha, Qatar in 2015. Amir, who is a Danish national, is currently based in the Middle East Regional Office in Dubai. Now a seasoned international hotelier, Amir's passion for excellence has led him to successfully drive the operations and hospitality assets for a number of companies for over 17 years.

Hello, this is Fred from Canada, and my question #806, what is a nice city you've visited?Well, um, I think for me, recently one of the nicest cities was Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. It was a very nice city because they have the most luxurious hotel in the world called Burj Al Arab, it was very nice and it's a man-made island, and the hotel is on the island. So that makes it very interesting. So for me the nicest city is Dubai in the U.A.E.

Major cities around the world are known for something famous: the Berlin Wall, The Eiffel Towers of Paris, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, and the Madison Square Garden in New York. If we asked you what your favorite destination was, what would it be? Let's assume you picked New York, if you ever visited the city of New York, at least before the lockdown of 2020, you'd agree that it is probably the hustle and bustle capital of the world! People are always on the move in that city! Now imagine you made a trip there and had no human or electronic guide? How easy would it be to move around? You see, when it comes to the subject of righteousness, you have to realize that we were given this gift so that we can navigate through the busy streets of life. With it, believers should always get their prayers answered and be able to do life in victory practically all the time. In this city, God's city, we are famous for dishing out righteousness! This is how we are identified and this is how we reign!

This podcast is an interview with Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Tourism Listening to Issam you will understand why Dubai became such an amzing destination for tourists and Dubai strategy to attract visitors. As the interview of Issam Kazim is in English, here are some extracts translated in French. EXTRAITS DE L' INTERVIEW (TRADUCTION EN FRANCAIS) Dubaï est devenue une grande destination touristique ces 10 dernières années, quels sont vos projets pour développer le tourisme dans les prochaines années? Issam Kazim : « Le tourisme est un des piliers de notre économie depuis toujours donc nous travaillons sur ce secteur depuis longtemps déjà. Contrairement à la plupart des pays du Moyen-Orient, notre économie ne repose en effet pas sur le pétrole. Ainsi, le tourisme et le commerce ont toujours été les principaux moteurs de notre PIB. Et c’est grâce à cette ligne directrice que nous sommes parvenus à atteindre 10 millions de visiteurs à Dubai en 2013. Nous avons dès lors défini une stratégie très claire pour garder ces 10 millions de touristes et en attirer encore plus… Et si vous regardez nos campagnes de promotion aujourd'hui, nous sommes actifs sur plus de 50 marchés. On a aussi beaucoup travaillé les réseaux sociaux avec un contenu disponible dans 22 langues. Le message qu’on a voulu faire passer c’est que Dubaï est une destination diversifiée avec beaucoup de visites et de découvertes à faire afin que les touristes restent le plus longtemps possible, pas seulement pour deux ou trois jours, et qu’ils aient envie de revenir à Dubaï. On a donc travaillé sur la perception que les gens avaient de Dubaï pour élargir leurs perspectives. Au-delà des monuments et sites clés de la ville comme leu Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab ou l’île de la Palm, Dubai a en effet beaucoup à offrir : de la culture à travers le vieux Dubai et les musées des quartiers historiques d’Al Fahidi, le site naturel de Hatta qui est un lac entouré de montagnes, le désert de Dubai et ses zones préservées, une gastronomie diversifiée grâce aux 200 nationalités de la communauté d’expatrié qui représente la majorité de la population de Dubai … Donc certes il y a le Dubai glamour que tout le monde connaît mais la destination est bien plus intéressante que ce qu’on s’imagine trop souvent. Notre stratégie qui s’est avéré gagnante sur de nombreux marchés. Par exemple, la France était le 11ème pays en termes de visiteurs à Dubai avant le covid est désormais à la cinquième place ! » Dubaï est elle une destination sûre pendant la pandémie? Issam Kazim : « Dubaï est vraiment sûre. On fait un confinement strict au début de la pandémie puis, une fois que nous avons repris le contrôle de la situation, nous avons commencé à rouvrir le pays en toute sécurité et progressivement. Et aujourd’hui le pays est ouvert aux visiteurs étrangers avec test pcr de moins de 72h. A Dubaï, les hôtels, les restaurants et lieux publics sont désinfectés en permanence et vous trouvez du gel hydroalcoolique absolument partout. Tout le monde porte le masque de façon très disciplinée sans que les autorités n’aient besoin d’intervenir. » Dubai est-elle une destination réservée aux riches ? Issam Kazim : « Absolument pas et c’est vraiment une idée reçue. Certes, si vous voulez du luxe, vous le trouverez à Dubai bien sûr. Mais, en réalité, vous pouvez voyager à Dubai quelque soit votre budget. Aujourd’hui notre offre d’hôtels 3 étoiles et 4 étoiles est vraiment accessible à tous, y compris aux familles.» Comment vous préparez-vous pour l'Exposition universelle qui aura lieu à Dubai à partir d’octobre 2021 ? Issam Kazim : « Nous sommes ravis d’organiser cet évènement mondial. Pour nous, c'est le plus grand événement que les Émirats arabes unis aient jamais organisé. Et comme l’Expo va durer six mois, cela nous permettra de promouvoir encore plus la destination auprès des visiteurs du monde entier, sans oublier les représentants de plus de 190 pays qui participent à l’Expo.»

This podcast will present you all the aspects of one of the most famous hotels of Dubai and of the world, the only 7 stars hotel : Burj Al Arab Jumeirah. You will first listen to the interview of the General Manager, Ermanno Zanini, and then you will listen to Marco Garfagnigni, the executive chef of the hotel. You will understand everything about the hotel, its history, its design, its facilities, suites, restaurants... As the interview of Ermanno is in English, and the interview of Marco is in French, here are some extracts of the interview of Ermanno translated in French. INTERVIEW (TRADUCTION EN FRANCAIS) -Pouvez-vous nous expliquer l’histoire du Burj et ce qui le rend si unique ? Ermanno Zanini :« Le Burj Al Arab est l’hôtel joyau du portfolio du Groupe Jumeirah et le symbole global du luxe. C’est une œuvre architecturale majeure et un monument emblématique de Dubai. Cet hôtel compte uniquement des suites et c’est aussi le plus haut de ce type dans la planète. Le Burj al Arab est aussi célèbre que la Tour Eiffel à Paris ou de l’Opéra à Sydney. En 2019, on a fêté les 20 ans de cet édifice mythique. Le Burj al Arab est aussi connu pour sa structure unique, son design innovant. C’est la Chinoise Khuan Chew qui a conçu tout l’intérieur du Burj Al Arab. Mais le design du building lui-même a été inspiré et signé par sa majesté Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktoum, vice-president des Emirats Arabes Unis et émir de Dubai. L’édifice en marbre représente à la fois l’héritage et les aspirations de Dubai. L’hôtel abrite trois magnifiques aquariums, un superbe héliport tout en haut de la tour. Pour la petite histoire, Tigerwoods a joué au golf sur cet héliport et André Agassi y a joué au tennis contre Roger Federer. » -En tant que directeur général comment faites-vous pour manager un hôtel d’une telle splendeur où la perfection doit être à tous les niveaux ? « Le Burj Al Arab représente en effet le summum du luxe, mondialement connu pour son design exceptionnel, son service qui dépasse toutes les attentes, pour ses différents espaces au style unique. Donc on fait vraiment tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour que les clients qui résident au Burj al Arab gardent un souvenir mémorable de leur séjour. Notre équipe essaie de créer une expérience sur mesure parfaite pour tous les clients. Notre offre d’hébergement inclut par ailleurs un transfert en hélicoptère depuis l’aéroport et ou en Rolls-Royce. » Copyright of the picture: Mohammed Saleem/Jumeirah

The exquisite stonework is the trademark of Machu Picchu, and in several renowned buildings one can see the apex of Inca stone construction that uses no mortar. Peru is a highly seismic land, and the trapezoidal shape of the walls and windows of Incan construction are highly resistant to earthquakes, allowing movement, and later settlement into original positions with little risk of collapse for those living inside.”Jerusalem, Israel for history https://www.touristisrael.com/jerusalem/268/Mayan Ruins in Mexico https://expertvagabond.com/mayan-ruins-mexico/ “Maya is a lifestyle; a community of settled people who have inhabited areas of Mexico and Central America since around 1800 BC.”Day of the Dead in Mexico https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/destinations/north-america/mexico/top-ten-day-of-dead-mexico/Pyramids in Giza https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/archaeology/giza-pyramids/#:~:text=Pyramids%20of%20Giza%20%7C%20National%20Geographic&text=All%20three%20of%20Giza's%20famed,%2C%20and%20Menkaure%20(front). “All three of Giza's famed pyramids and their elaborate burial complexes were built during a frenetic period of construction, from roughly 2550 to 2490 B.C.

Dubai is a city built up from an almost barren sandy desert.  It is the largest and most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).  It sits on the Persian Gulf and is a popular Middle East cruise port. This modern city has luxury hotels, an endless array of restaurants and some of the largest shopping malls anywhere complete with ski slopes and aquariums.   You can stay in hotels on man-made palm shaped islands, ascend the Burj Kalifa, the tallest building in the world and stay or just gaze in wonder at the Burj Al Arab, a luxurious hotel that sits on an artificial island and looks like an elegant ship’s sail.  Now let’s discover more about the fascinating city of Dubai.

SHANGHAI (AP) — A luxury hotel opening outside Shanghai is offering guests with deep pockets the chance of a very deep sleep. The 18-story Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland Hotel has been built into the side of a huge hole in the ground left by a former pit mine. Sixteen of its floors are below ground level, looking out onto the rest of the former quarry. Two floors are underwater. “I designed many different types of buildings in U.K., in Europe, in Dubai, and so on but this one was totally different and became almost life work, so that’s why I’m saying it’s probably the most important building that I have designed,” said chief architect Martin Jochman, who is known for the sail- shaped Burj Al-Arab skyscraper in Dubai. The project began in 2006 and construction got underway in 2013. The team faced delays and a host of technical challenges, including meeting strict earthquake regulations and maintaining water levels. UNESCO representative Michael Croft described the 336-room hotel as a model for sustainable development. “It’s a model that has been inspired by a vision of a better future, and a present that looks to its past for answers,” he said at a news conference introducing the hotel Thursday. The hotel, which is in Songjiang near Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, opens Tuesday. Rooms are priced from 3,666 to 6,000 yuan ($530 to $860). “We could have abandoned this quarry,” said Xu Shitan, vice chairman of Hong Kong property developer Shimao Group, which developed the hotel. “But we didn’t. We turned it into a treasure.” | Original Post The post Luxury hotel built in former pit mine to open in China appeared first on DAPULSE.

El agua da la vida, pero también puede destruirla… y en una vida sin nosotros la civilización será atacada por el agua de maneras muy diversas. La corrosión de la lluvia y las hojas húmedas acabarán con el Space Needle (Aguja Espacial) de Seattle, mientras que la humedad en Próximo Oriente arruinará el lujoso hotel Burj Al Arab de Dubái. La lluvia inundará Nueva Orleans y cuando la luz se vaya en el acuario de la ciudad se augurará un futuro negro para miles de animales.

It's the standard for luxury. The Burj al Arab is the world's first 7-star hotel. It's the icon for Dubai. Jim Valley talks with Sian Navarro about what's new at the Burj, it's plans for the 2020 Expo and confirm some of the famous myths about his amazing property.

The strangest thing is going on in China's film market. The most criticized movie "Switch" made by Chinese TV producer Jay Sun now ranks the first in terms of daily grossing. Nine days after its release, the film has already secured 26 million yuan, in comparison, Hollywood blockbuster "Star Trek: Into Darkness", with higher ticket price on average, sold for just a little more than 33 million yuan in three weeks. It is an interesting phenomenon because "Switch" is widely considered an awful movie. Internet users on China's biggest online movie database Mtime give it a rating of 2.3 out of 10, making it one of the lowest-rated local blockbusters that somehow made to Chinese cineplexes. Part of the reason is the movie's sizeable 160-million-yuan investment. Unlike regular movies, the production of "Switch" was a commercial activity right from the start. Details of the film's budget and marketing strategy were outlined even before a script was ready. And based on my personal observation, the movie carries a dozen embedded adverts, such as for a domestic insurance company, an overseas cell-phone producer, a foreign automaker, a Chinese online shopping website, among many others. With this amount of input, the producer must have tried every means within his power to install it in Chinese cinemas. Meanwhile, the producers had reason to assume that their movie will sell. For starters, they included superstar Andy Lau and celebrity model Lin Chi-ling in the cast. The influence of Andy Lau is of course beyond any doubt. Lin Chi-ling is a better model than actress, but her huge fan base is always ready to be tapped. To reward their earnest support, Miss Lin showed off her exquisite body in more than 30 different outfits. And to complement Lin's presence and keep the audience constantly excited, more good-looking, female support actresses were seen wearing queer clothing and doing acrobatic fighting. Also, the amount of investment brought as much advantage as pressure. The director could squander to his heart's content on various luxuries. From Dubai to Tokyo and China's tourist city Hangzhou, the filming crew traversed half of the Eurasian continent to collect the most stunning pictures, and these include shots of the Hotel Atlantis and the Khalifa Tower as well as the movie debut for the Burj Al Arab luxury hotel. Director Jay Sun had had much experience making promotional videos for tourist cities, he could totally have done this blind-folded. Despite their confidence, the producers were well aware that their movie had a fatal flaw, that is, the story. The movie was meant to emulate a James Bond movie, in which a secret agent protected a valuable piece of national treasure. Normally a director would have filled the movie with action and get it over with, but our dear director seem to have decided that he wanted more than that. So he extended his beloved experiment of a film to include romance and thriller, yet wasn't able to find a focus in his scattershot pursuits, so the result was a movie that has puzzled, if not infuriated, many viewers. Director Jay Sun was very nervous before the film was released, and it was only after the bad movie became a topical one and brought in revenue by the millions that he started feeling relaxed. The popularity of "Switch" is creating trouble in the movie industry, particularly when owners of movie theatres are increasing its screening at the expense of low budget movies that are really good but can't afford an expensive promotion campaign. Perhaps the viewers should stop voting for the bad movies, otherwise they'll be left with no choice when more of bad topics take over.
