Member update
Last week, Rhonda
Walker displayed her gorgeous photography (see her website if
you missed it), and this week Emily Moore from www.2getthere.eu will be our
guest on Monday (possibly Tue as well) talking to us about Masdar
City's PRT systems (aka the bubble cars) - should be interesting!
And don't forget about Masdar's first Market Day this Friday
(details on left below).

Tidbit of the week
Abu Dhabi will be getting a few new stores over
the next couple of years! Sharaf DG just opened its first Abu Dhabi
store at Abu Dhabi Mall this month, Marks & Spencer will be
opening at Dalma Mall (soon we hope!), and you may have already
noticed the new signage for Marks & Spencer at Marina
Mall (taking over part of the old Ikea space) - no confirmed opening
dates as yet. Waitrose has announced it will be opening a small
supermarket in the Al Raha
Beach development later this year, while House of Fraser
will be opening at the Central Market
Souq next
year.

home! And of course don't forget our

This gorgeous kitty was recently found by
