Hello and welcome to a new edition of Rotana Lifestyle – our exclusive digital platform offering plenty of inspiration on all things travel, art, fashion, food and more
As we say goodbye to winter and embrace the warmer days ahead, I'm thrilled to present our newest issue. With spring and summer on the horizon, we're gearing up for some exciting times, especially with the joyous celebrations of Eid Al Fitr and Eid al Adha, in April and June respectively, marking the beginning and end of this season. These festivals are all about tradition and spreading joy, bringing us closer to our loved ones and creating cherished memories. Personally, I can't wait to savour these moments ahead — and I'm sure you feel the same.
With a focus on helping you plan these 'Treasured Times' and make wonderful new memories, this edition of Rotana Lifestyle is brimming with inspiration. From uncovering the best activities in the region to delving into its rich cultural tapestry, this issue promises exciting new realms of exploration.
Events season is in full swing, with Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and other cities around the region bustling with fairs, exhibitions and concerts, where art, culture, entertainment and adventure intertwine to offer a captivating array of experiences. Click here to discover our edit of the must-attend events this season. Further in this issue, dive right into the creative hubs and iconic landmarks that define the region, from Alserkal Avenue in Dubai to Hudayriyat Island in Abu Dhabi, as we spotlight these marvels awaiting exploration.
For the intrepid traveller seeking outdoor pursuits, our guide to the Middle East's best hiking trails is perfect for getting up close to nature in the beautiful weather. As an avid trail enthusiast myself, I relish any opportunity to lace up my boots and hit the paths. Having already experienced a few of these trails firsthand, I'm eagerly anticipating the chance to explore the rest.
Lastly, for the fashion savvy, browse our top picks from the spring, summer and resort collections of our favourite luxury brands in this season's edit.
Meanwhile, at Rotana, a busy season awaits us as we eagerly anticipate unveiling the latest developments within our organisation, including new team appointments and additions to our extensive portfolio.
