The rise of âquiet socialisingâ: Why UAE residents are choosing plans that donât feel like plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From cruising to quiet nights in, UAE locals are embracing slower ways to connect There was a time when making plans meant making proper plans. Dinner reservations, packed restaurants, loud music, a full face of makeup and, ideally, a WhatsApp group with at least 47 unread messages. Now? Increasingly, people just want to sit somewhere nice, order something they like and talk. Welcome to the era of quiet socialising, a slower, softer way of spending time with other people without the pressure of
The UAEâs obsession with tiny cafés (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The UAEâs tiny cafés are becoming the new big thing, from windows to hidden spots There is something slightly ridiculous about driving 25 minutes for a café that has approximately four chairs.

You edited the photo. You checked how it would sit next to the last nine posts. Maybe you even deleted a perfectly good picture because the colors did not âmatch the feedâ. Your Instagram page was not just an account. It was a carefully curated little exhibition of your life. The perfect Instagram feed appear
The UAEâs quiet culture of giving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UAE's culture of everyday generosity, hospitality and quiet gestures There is a particular kind of generosity in the UAE that rarely makes a fuss. It can look like a neighbour sending over a plate of machboos because there was âextraâ food, even though there somehow seems to be enough for an entire majlis. It can be a driver refusing to let you pay for karak because âitâs on meâ. It can be a grandmother slipping money into a childâs hand and immediately saying, âDonât tell your m
