The Botanist
After a multitude of iterations, The Botanist was born. A plant-based, chemical-free and kind collection of home cleansing products, made the artisanal way, with a carefully selected range of fresh and therapeutic essential oils. All packed together lovingly, right here in the UAE, in eco-friendly elegant glass bottles that you finally donโt have to hide away.
The Botanist launched in 2019 and we’ve since moved to a purpose built production facility in Dubai to enable us to bring the products we love to more people in the UAE. Weโre so excited to be sharing our range with you and hope you love it as much as we do.

Rootz Organics
First dedicated online store offering both Organic and Sustainable products with an aim to serve the communities in the UAE and Middle East.
Rootz Organics is my humble attempt at creating awareness about organic products and sustainable living.

Starting our kids early on these good habits will ensure that our coming generations too are hale and hearty.
BOKSHA
Welcome to BOKSHA, the regionโs online marketplace dedicated to discovering authentic designs created by UAE homegrown talent.
The name BOKSHA (ุจูุดุฉ) comes from an Arab Gulf dialect referring to the piece of fabric tied from the top and used as a head carrier by street sellers to hold their garments. Once at the marketplace (souk), the sellers would place their Boksha on the ground and showcase their items for sale.
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.

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.
