Dubai is a fascinating place, having risen up as a world-class destination for travelers in recent years, offering a splendid mix of old world tradition with new sensibilities. There are a stunning array of fabulous attractions here, and most of them are the recent creations of the cultures that come here. It’s evident in the shopping, with an entirely international sensibility that appeals to the cosmopolitan local and international population, and it’s certainly in the food. You can find nearly every kind of cuisine in Dubai, making it a paradise for food-lovers, and eating is a spectacular way to spend a vacation. For some of the world’s best restaurants, Dubai can certainly compete, attracting tourists with exquisite taste, along with attracting some of the world’s finest chefs.
Whatever your tastes, there is very likely a restaurant here than can cater to your usual fare, and also serve up something for your whims. It’s worth trying everything, or perhaps impossible to try everything, but worth making the effort if time and budget will allow it. Some of the finest Thai, Italian, and international fusion cuisines are found here, along with a heady supply of everything else. There’s a lot of culture, whatever culture you’re looking for, in Dubai, and Italy seems to have a fascinating relationship with Dubai, not only with the food, like the Italian cheese shop run by monks, but art as well. While looking through the city’s great visual arts scene, you may come across some of the works of Lisa Borgiani and Massimo Nidini.
They’ve had a number of shows here, and have work all over the world. Borgiani, who’s a member of Amnesty International has a strong connection to the international community in all directions, and the work has a depth that is familiar with the weight of history. It’s also very spectacular, from purely aesthetic and technical means, if such a purity can exist. They’ve managed to develop a working methodology that makes for a fascinating, and rather novel, way of creating work. She is a photographer by training, and he’s been painting for many years, and he paints her photographs in their collaborative work. The results are stunning, where the dream becomes solid and then returns to ether, and leaves you with a sense of having seen ghosts in your own imagination.
