Urban Nomads

Discovering jewelry has always been our passion – especially those pieces that we’ve collected throughout our travels. Pieces that are capable of sparking conversations. Pieces so unique you couldn’t find them back at home.

So unique & treasured, we wanted to bring these finds to you.

Ripe

Ripe is a passionate company with a small but dedicated team, handpicked because we love what they do. We aim to promote healthy eating amongst UAE residents by providing easy access to the best and freshest produce. We also play a rich role in the community … supporting local farms and promoting local agriculture.

Petite Lamb

Petite Lamb was established in 2010 by Katrina, the designer and seamstress behind the business. The passion for sewing and eye for design has brought together a collection of unique and one of a kind pieces that you will find both online, in store and out and about at pop up markets. Katrina started sewing at an early age taught by her mother and participated in her first market back in 1996 in St. Kilda, Melbourne selling hand painted silk pyjamas. The love for materials and sewing has always been a strong theme in Katrina’s life.

Chalk

CHALK, the first of its kind hair salon for rebels, creative thinkers, and disruptors has launched in Alserkal Avenue, the heart of the arts and culture community in the UAE. Aimed at promoting individuality, self-expression, and creative freedom.

The salon is an exclusive UAE home-grown concept that places the guest at the center of a sensory experience.

Camelicious

Over 35 years ago, the idea of a camel-milking facility was born at the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL) in Dubai. Research commenced on a small number of camels that were raised with the specific aim to obtain scientific proof of the outstanding health benefits of camel milk as an important part of the traditional Bedouin staple diet. The ultimate goal was to introduce camel milk to the markets and by doing so, to make it accessible to a large number of consumers.

Why Go-Lokal?

We should support our local market (local products & local brands) by empowering people within the UAE to do business with local companies and local entrepreneurs that are based and operate from within the UAE.

By connecting the local community we aspire to support the local economy, making its unique brands better known, and create awareness for authentic tour experiences. Go-Lokal gives you access to all hidden gems the UAE has to offer.

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.
