Time to take a small look at some culture here in the Gulf. Even if it is not traditionally known for that, Dubai and now also Abu Dhabi does have quite an events scene - music, and museums, at least in the making. Several international actors on the art and literature scene and coming in over the years to come too, so I think we will see much more.
But first, more traditional sporting: polo!
The new Museum of Islamic Art in Doha is supposed to be something really extra! It has a website too, here.
On the music scene, Marcel Khalife played in the UAE in the autumn. I missed him, unfortunately but have had the privilege before.
Especially with the book fair coming up, I do hear quite a bit of discussion on translation to Arabic.
Qantara ponders the meaning and symbolism of Dubai's urban landscape.
Photography in the UAE is also emerging.
