A pizza place in Dubai took pizza delivery to a whole new level. You can order your favorite pizza by pressing a button on a fridge magnet.
The technology is run through bluetooth, and will order your pre-set favorite pizza for you, but it’s still a very cool gadget.

As much as it is winter in Kuwait, it is so summery in Dubai. The weather here is hot and humid, and I now regret not bringing our bathing suits with us. Keep the weather in mind when packing for Dubai. T-shirts and summer dresses, nothing heavier.

I’m in Dubai for a couple of nights, I decided to stay in the newly opened Fairmont resort in Palm Jumeirah. The hotel is brand new, like it just opened 2 nights ago. The “Fairmont The Palm” is owned by the Kuwaiti group IFA, and it is a grand and magnificent resort. They did very good with it. However, it’s still not all complete. Only the 1st and 2nd floors are ready so far, with the 3rd and 4th opening very soon. The rest is still under final finishing.
So far, there are 4 restaurants: seafood, Brazilian, Intetnational, and the lobby; all fully licensed. The lobby and one of the restaurants have huge outdoor seating, surrounded by beautiful Islamic light lanterns and lush green scenery.
My room has a balcony, facing the sea and Jumeirah’s Za3beel Resort. The view from it is breathtaking, day or night. I’ve only got a table and a couple of chairs in it, but it would fit a few sun decks if I wanted. In fact, the suites and some of the other rooms do have chaise lounges in their balconies.
I posted a few pictures today, till I get a chance to post something proper.

I’m leaving to Dubai for some urgent business, it was something that came up at the last minute. I usually book my flights and hotels online, but I didn’t have time today to sit still and work on a laptop.
Since I was already in Salhiya complex, I decided to use a nearby travel agents, which also happens to be one of my old favorite travel agents: Al-Soor Travels. I went in their office, told them the details, and was out with Emirates tickets and hotel booking in hand less than 10 minutes later.
This time, I’m going to stay at the Fairmont, Palm Jumeirah. I haven’t been there before, and the only other time I Stayed at the Palm was at Atlantis. But since I couldn’t find any booking with the Jumeirah group, my favorites, I thought the Fairmont would be a good alternative.
Al-Soor Travels are perfectly located in Kuwait City, close to Salhiya complex and Opera. They’re adjacent to Salhiya cemetery, and you enter their entrance from Al-Soor street, at the corner of NBK’s branch there.
Note: I bought my tickets using my NBK World Master card. If you didn’t know this already, NBK offers you free travel insurance (including baggage delay and lose) if you buy the tickets using their credit cards. It’s an awesome service, and they do it in collaboration with Al-Ahlia insurance.

The authorities in Dubai caught two cars racing on Dubai roads, doing 300 kilometres per hour. Both cars were modified to be able to run on jet fuel, so that they can reach those high scary speeds.
Both cars were Nissan Patrols.

I just read that there’s a Saudi Jiddawi restaurant in Dubai, owned and run by Saudi ladies. The place serves authentic Jidawwi dishes like Mu6abbag, Kabsa, and other things. I’m not sure if their Mu6abbag is the same as our Kuwait one. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s something entirely different. But it’s got to be an important dish, because they have more than a dozen varieties of it.
The Restaurant is called Mutabbag O Masoub, and is located on Jumeirah Rd. in Um Suqqaim. Their phone number is 04 3282444, and their exact location is beside London Hospital and behind the Iranian restaurant.

When did this happen? I never liked the Jumeirah Scairah much, and took a few embarrassing years to finally ride it, but I’m still sad to see it go.
It was such an amazing and exhilarating ride, that holds some dear precious memories. It’s such an important part of Wild Wadi, that I don’t think the park could be the same without it.
Does anyone know what they replaced it with? I assume with something even scarier.

Dubai Municipality has officially warned Emiratis about Nutella Chocolate injections. The injections are bogus, aren’t really made by Nutella, and real sterile medical injections are used in them. It sited health and hygiene reasons behind the warning, and is currently looking for the suppliers and sellers of these dangerous choco needles.
أصدرت السلطات الحكومية في دبي، بدولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، تحذيراً رسمياً للمستهلكين، بعدم شراء الشوكولاتة المعبأة في سرنجات «حقن طبية»، بعد تداول صور لأنواع من الشوكولاتة على شكل حقن بين سكان الإمارة، عبر «البلاك بيري» والهواتف الذكية، ومواقع التواصل الاجتماعي. وقال رئيس شعبة الرقابة الغذائية في بلدية دبي: إن البلدية تعمل بالتعاون مع وزارتي الصحة والبيئة، لاتحاذ الإجراءات اللازمة بهذا الشأن.
وتُظهر الصور، التي تم تداولها على نطاق واسع، مجموعة من الحقن مملوءة بمسحوق شوكولاتة، وعليها العلامة التجارية الخاصة بماركة «نوتيلا».
فيما أصدر مكتب الشركة المنتجة في الشرق الأوسط، بياناً صحافياً نفى فيه علاقتهم بهذا المنتج.
وكانت تقارير إعلامية محلية قد نشرت منذ عام تقريباً، بعض الصور التي تتعلق بإعلان مشابه، تم نشره عبر موقع محلي للتسوق عبر الإنترنت.
إلا أن ما فجر الموضوع من جديد، هو الإعلان الذي نشر في أحد مواقع التسوق الإماراتية، في منتصف يونيو الجاري، يدعو فيه المستهلكين لشراء «جرعات» شوكولاتة مقابل 10 دراهم. وفق CNN العربية.
