There was a time when autumn began for me with bows, a starched white apron, a huge bouquet of gladioli, stupid golfs that always tried to slide down, and the solemn line on September 1 in the courtyard of our old school.
It was on the first of September that everyone understood that the summer was over, finally and irrevocably. It remains only to steadfastly survive the terrible nuisance called the "new school year" and wait for the next summer vacation.
We are starting our new “school year” not under the rustle of yellow fallen leaves, but under the light warm sea breeze from the Persian Gulf. As usual. And also to the questions of our dear and beloved tourists, whom we managed to miss for the summer, on the topic "Is it worth it to come to the Emirates during Ramadan." You can read about everything, including Ramadan here, just turn over the pages you need.
Also, we all the editorial staff were looking forward to the return of our regular readers from the holidays, and now we are ready to talk about what they voluntarily or involuntarily missed.
While you were away in the Emirates, we managed to give away prizes among those who sent answers to our quiz about the festival "Dubai Summer Surprises". Its results pleasantly surprised both the organizers and the winners! Our special correspondents managed to visit new Dubai buildings, try the new Spa-procedures offered in the UAE, make trips to different cities of our vast country and beyond, fly a helicopter over the fastest growing business and leisure center in the Middle East. That's right, again over Dubai.
And we also managed to identify three true signs of the onset of the emirate autumn. The first is that all representatives of the tourism and hotel industry of the UAE are gathering together for the international exhibition "Rest" in Moscow. The second - Dubai roads are filled with dozens of times a large number of cars at any time of the day, which means that schools have begun their work, and business moms and business dads have returned to their offices. The third - the water in the Persian Gulf gradually ceases to resemble a hot bath, and soon you can even reach it barefoot, without fear of getting soles on the hot sand soles ... So, autumn has come.
I'm going to buy myself a new umbrella. Although the first emirate rain, most likely, will not rain until December. But, nevertheless, autumn .... There, the girl walked in her boots. Another clear autumn sign. Come, soon it will be possible to sit in the bar or restaurant in the open air all evening long and enjoy the long-awaited coolness, sipping juice through a straw or fuming yourself with fragrant hookah smoke.
Sincerely yours,
Irina Ivanova
