Rant and rave

What’s been getting under your skin this month in Abu Dhabi? Come on, let’s share

We’re renting…

From Fast Car Rent-A-Car as it is offering a special discount across the summer: two-day hire for the price of one. It means you can explore the UAE for as little as Dhs90 a day – nearly a third of the price of a taxi to Dubai.

We’re footie mad…

After it was announced that Manchester City will be playing the UAE national team in a friendly in the capital in November and setting up a training pitch at Emirate’s Palace. Better still, to win tickets to the FIFA Club World Cup.

We’ve gone green (allegedly)…

Since Abu Dhabi was officially declared the headquarters of the new International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). But will anyone listen to the oil-rich billioniares with the world’s highest carbon footprint per capita?

We’re proud…

That a new shelter is being set up in Abu Dhabi to provide health care, counselling and legal advice to women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
