EDITOR’S LETTER

SSummer in Abu Dhabi: a time of year that is, some people will tell you, boring. But I’m hoping the magazine you’re holding in your hands will go some way to proving them wrong. There’s plenty going on, you just need to know where to look for it – and

What’s On is the perfect place to start. The big event this summer is of course the fourth edition of Abu Dhabi Summer Season, which starts July 20. As well as a Hollywood comedian, plus Bollywood legends and pop stars, the lineup features plenty of kids’ shows, including a performance by two of the best cartoon characters of all time: Tom and Jerry. Check out our guide starting on p22.

Also inside you’ll find money-saving deals on staycations, restaurants, spas and lots more, a guide to the city’s best mall food (our Abu Dhabi editor Andy is obsessed with the sorbet at Acai Express), and a comprehensive round-up of activities taking place indoors this summer.

So the next time someone tells you life in Abu Dhabi in July is dull, show them this magazine.

Enjoy the issue.
