Socks Apart
We don’t believe in logic. We can hardly follow the rules. We are even bad in math (you might get a ridiculous discount). We try, we fail, we laugh, we try again, blessed if we succeed, in that order. You are not the only ones laughing at us, we are laughing at ourselves too. Contrary to what we’ve been taught, we consider these our strengths. Flying kick, sir.
Five 2 Jewellery
FiveTwo projects the story of two lifelong friends from Dubai who share a passion for both fine jewelry and the same ring size, hence the inspiration behind the name. As young girls, founders Ayesha and Shahrzad were entranced by the jewelry worn by their glamorous mothers and grandmothers. Growing up, they took great delight in trying on their intricate, bespoke and carefully assembled pieces that were passed down through generations.

Lokal of the month
Mleiha
Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.
The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
