On Monday Swedish ladies was hosting an evening event in Dubai, called 'SL @ work' which this time had a creative theme. Linda and I decided to go early to make a day out of it, and we offered up the rest of the seats in the car to the group, in case someone was keen on coming. Turned out we ended up being a full car, five ladies setting off on a bit of a day out!
We really made a day out of it! We started in the DIFC area with a walk around their open air sculpture exhibition Tales Under the Gate (more about this in a separate post).
Then we went for 'Business Lunch' at the 9th floor, at Clap. I must say, this was one of the very best meals I have ever had here in the UAE - outstanding food!
No wonder though that everything tasted and looked so amazing, it turned out to be a Michelin Guide-restaurant!
In the afternoon, we visited the Aya Universe in Wafi Mall. A really cool experience, but again, after you have seen the Expo2020, you are hard to impress... (More about this as well in a separate post)
I got the same underwhelmed feeling as I did visiting the Museum of the Future, although it was certainly rather innovative and exciting.
Before we went to the event down in JBR we had time for a quick shopping and refuel stop in the area around Al Seef down by the creek. Always lovely to visit.
And finally, it was time for the event itself. We got to hear from three of the Swedish Ladies who have very creative careers, in different ways - an author, an artist and a carpet designer. There wasn't too many of us so we could have quite nice discussions and exchanges. Really nice evening!
What a day!
