About us
A small team that never quite left Abu Dhabi
We started this guide because friends kept asking us the same questions. Where do I eat that is not a mall food court? Is a desert trip worth it in summer? How do I see the Grand Mosque without the crowds?
The answers lived in long WhatsApp messages. Now they live here, and we keep them up to date.

How we work
- We go ourselves
- Every place on the site has been visited by someone on the team. Usually more than once, usually paying for it.
- Ads are labelled
- Some venues pay to be featured. When they do, the card says so. It never changes what we write about them.
- Corrections are welcome
- Hours change, restaurants close, a new bakery opens on your street. Tell us and we will fix it.
- The basics stay free
- The map, the events calendar, the 1-day and 3-day routes. Premium routes and the concierge pay for the rest.
