by Marie-Jeanne Acquaviva (Author), Olivia Froudkine (Author), Marie-Jeanne Aquaviva (Author)

An snapshot introduction to Dubai through it's people and community.

Dubai Is My Home is a fascinating exploration of the diverse spectrum of foreign and local residents in Dubai. Through intimate personal stories and engaging photography, you will meet the people who make the city tick and comprise its multicultural patchwork. From the Palestinian-Colombian deputy director of an independent cinema to a European falconer and a local Emirati dedicated to preserving the country's natural environment, the book demonstrates that Dubai residents do not fit one mould but form a microcosm of the global community. This collection of voices and faces provides insight into what makes Dubai a functioning melting pot, where concepts of diversity, collaboration, and harmony are not artificially enforced but lived. For a global audience all too accustomed to clichés and superficial stereotypes about the city, Dubai Is My Home introduces readers to the soul of the city, highlighting the deep social connections that make it one of the most liveable and alluring cities in the world.
