With travel season heating up now, as the summer turns to fall, UAE residents have been globetrotting like never before. But our top holiday hotspot still remains that old favourite - London!
Enjoyed for its historical and heritage spots as well as modern attractions like Madame Tussauds, a recent survey conducted by British Airways revealed that the English capital was voted for by one in every four UAE residents, with Miami taking second place, followed by Italy's scenic Amalfi coast in third spot.
Boutique 1 at Yas Mall
We have another luxury fashion destination to head to in the UAE, as retailer Boutique 1 has opened its first flagship store in Abu Dhabi's Yas Mall, after their branches in Dubai, London and Beirut.
On the ground floor of the mall's Luxury Court, fashionistas can browse and snap up creations from five of the world's top designer labels - Elie Saab, Alaia, Isabel Marant, Missoni, and Victoria Beckham.
