Sun, sand and sea …..tales from the life of a British expat in the UAE.
“Tennis has really grown in popularity here in the last few years with more and more Emiratis and young people picking up racquets and really enjoying the sport.” Sheikha Shaikha bint Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan
The teenager had quite the experience with her recent stint as a ball girl at the sixth annual Sheikh Mohammed bin Saeed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Tennis Tournament held at the Sea Palace in Al Bateen here in Abu Dhabi.
“Nobody can live the present without recalling the past. It is from history that we learn and acquire excellence.” Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan
Last week I attended the first Multaqa (meaning ‘The Gathering’ in Arabic) previewing Abu Dhabi’s latest addition to Saadiyat Cultural District, Zayed National Museum. This Multaqa was the first of a series of five different themed talks scheduled to be held all over the emirate until May to keep the public informed prior to the opening of the new facility next year.
