One of the many wonderful things about living in the UAE…

...is how accessible so much of the world is. Apart from the country’s central geographic location, a string of best-in-class local airlines ensure that we’re only ever a few hours away from our next adventure. So as temperatures soar across the emirates we’re packing our bags. The final destination? An unforgettable summer.

To help you on your way, we introduce the first What’s On Travel Guide, packed with inspiration to take you near and far. Whether your summer travel bucket list includes ticking off a thrilling destination you’ve always dreamed of, reconnecting with loved ones in one of your favourite corners of the globe, or staycationing your way around the UAE, consider this your new travel bestie.

We begin right here in the UAE, with the staycations everyone should experience at least once. From a palatial Abu Dhabi desert retreat to blissful beachfront luxury in Ras Al Khaimah, the emirates’ must-try hotels are found from p11. Further afield, a slew of luxurious stays are making Doha a destination du jour in the Middle East right now (check them out from p26), while Oman’s diverse topography takes centre stage from p29, where getaways with an array of perks for UAE residents await.

If you’re going global this summer, the hedonistic hotspot of Mykonos remains a firm favourite on the European circuit. Your essential itinerary is on p58. And I couldn’t leave out the British capital, a city that has had my heart for as long as I can remember. From its diverse and delicious new restaurants to haute hotel openings, London’s latest leading lights are waiting for you on p55.

Bon voyage,
