Vroom vroom in Dubai

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Alice

If you’ve ever been to my city Dubai or anywhere in the United Arab Emirates, you will have noticed we have a serious car culture, with a particular preference for the latest and greatest in high-end super cars. But unlike the rest of the world, Dubai can actually afford roadworthy prestige in the form of Lamborghinis and Ferraris and high end Porsches, Bentleys and Rolls Royse.

You see this joint is the world hub of the oil economy and the centre of a booming property market, so spectacularly wealthy locals and newly rich ex-pats buy the lastest Italian and German sports cars to compliment their millionaire lifestyles. Dapper men dripping in dirhams and cocked up high behind the wheel of something fancy is par for the course round these parts…

About Alice

I run, I jump, I sing, I dance. Whether climbing trees, walls or stairs I do it at a clip. When out, my date is always Trusty Nikon (who never lets me down in the attire stakes; so smart in his black, with a pop of red!). Where does it lead, this love affair of mine? Well, its lead me to Dubai, via the matrimonial aisle, thanks to a gorgeous husband who whisked me from Coogee beach, Sydney into the Arabian Peninsula - to my new home, Dubai. I am a freelance writer and photographer and my wish is to snap away, to scribe and to share it all with you. Enjoy.
