Seven

Is it really seven years since the Founding Father of the UAE passed from this world? For those who don't know, Sheikh Zayed is a lot more than the name behind the most famous road in the UAE. He was the architect of the UAE, and it was his vision that helped create the position that Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the whole of the UAE is in today. It was based on his ethic that the UAE gave opportunity to others - he embraced pluralism and he gave back to his people and to others. Many across the Arab world will remember Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan - he was generous and caring - a role model for leaders today and tomorrow. We all owe him a debt of gratitude.



We will remember lest we forget.

Dubai, then and now

There are many pictures that show Dubai and the UAE's transformation from back in the day to now. Many of these show the Emirates Towers and how Sheikh Zayed Road has changed. This compilation from Life, however, show a different side. Highly recommended

At the Etihad

Service resumed at Manchester City last night as the Etihad sponsored team beat the minnows of Wales with Abu Dhabi money. And with an array of stars, this season could be the first one that brings the next step of returns to the Abu Dhabi investors. The first game of the season was impressive with a 4-0 win. But there are many more to go.



In the mean time, welcome to Kun, aka Aguero, aka moneyballs. Oh, and get ready for the term "at the Etihad", meaning the stadium. Prediction for Manchester City this season - nearly. Maybe 2nd, and hatred and envy of many others. More importantly the brand of Etihad cemented on the brains of many.
