Weekly A to Z, March 25th.

The Ramadan Kareem one.

Wishing a blessed Ramadan to all those who celebrate.

After my incredible trip last week to the Bayou Villas in Antalya, Türkiye — check out the highlights here and a Reel from the deluxe property here — I settled back into life in Dubai, catching up, editing, and trying to be proactive.

On Monday, I summoned the energy to join the Bookers at Mi Amie, which has stunning views of the Museum of the Future and DIFC. Sarah and Laura both put together more comprehensive posts than my jet-lagged self, RIP, Apple Watch. #invited

In between editing, I was over to Ossiano on Thursday for an upcoming article (not that I ever need an excuse to visit the team), and it’s always lovely to connect with the team.

A few deliveries — Kaak Al Manara sent through some treats, as did Streetery for a fun and creative Thai iftar. Not to be outdone, House of Pops also has a delicious Ramadan treat box which would be lovely to accompany iftar or to bring as a guest. #gifted

I finished the week in style by heading to Dinner by Heston at the Royal Atlantis on Friday. The video of my experience will be incoming shortly — keep an eye on my socials. #invited
