About Me

Originally I came to Dubai to take a graphic design job, I now run my own Graphic design and photography company www.clearandtransparent.com I live in the Marina next to Jumeirah Beach - the longest beach residence in the world. For fun i like nothing more than riding my motorbike with the guys, or a picnic in Creek Park, or a walk around Bur Dubai. To stay fit, I go wakeboarding every weekend and during the week I jog around the Marina.

Dubai is an odd place, it seems to attract a lot of negative press from the Western world, some say because of jealousy over the dramatic and speedy success that the city has achieved over the last few years, being transformed from a sleepy desert village where pearl diving was the main trade to the bustling modern metropolis that it is today, complete with indoor Ski domes, the worlds tallest building and the worlds richest horse race. Dubai these days, is more like New York or London, whilst still retaining its culture and traditions and respect for Islam. The pace of life here has slowed somewhat since the economic crisis hit the city and a lot of expats have left for their home countries.

Rarely do you find a city in the world where so many different people from so many different cultures and countries come together in one place. I can show you the real Dubai - interesting little art galleries, flea markets and souqs, free beaches, great places to eat and drink. Get in touch and I will share with you all the things that makes this a great place to be.
