Dubai is beginning to lose its edge in leasure tourism to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt (all MENA). These countries boast a richer cultural background, more diverse landscapes, and in the cases of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, deeper financial resources. I am deeply concerned for Dubai, as I do not wish to relocate but also do not want to witness a decline in its attractiveness and visitor numbers. I believe the solution for Dubai lies in shifting its focus from beach tourism to business tourism. By incentivizing and subsidizing organizers of business conferences and exhibitions, we can potentially increase from the current 100 exhibitions and 500 conferences annually to 300 exhibitions and 1500 conferences and MICE events per year. (like we are, with The Arena trade shows) In the realm of leasure tourism, Dubai may soon become less competitive. Instead, we should strive to make Dubai - AS the networking capital of the world, rather than just a destination for annual beach vacations.

"Ma’an" – The Arabic Word for "Together" – Unlocking Investment with UAE Family Offices 👇 As we approach 2025, UAE Family Offices are evolving, growing in complexity and size. For those targeting UAE Family Offices, I want to emphasize the power of one word in your pitches, strategy, and vision: Ma’an. What Does Ma’an Mean? Ma’an translates to together, with, and even jointly. It reflects unity, collaboration, and shared purpose—values deeply ingrained in the culture and mindset of UAE Family Offices. If you’ve spent time in the UAE, you’ll notice that many family offices operate through joint ventures or partnerships. These models thrive on working together for mutual success. But for those raising capital for a holding company in the USA or Hong Kong—or fund managers seeking LP commitments—a joint venture might not seem like the right fit. I understand. Why Ma’an Matters The concept of “together” transcends its literal meaning. It embodies interconnectedness, shared experiences, and mutual progress. In a market as competitive as the UAE—where thousands pitch to family offices weekly—embracing Ma’an could set you apart. It’s about finding common ground. For example: A fund manager setting up a local structure under a Middle East brand, co-creating a regional product with the family office, is more likely to resonate than a distant, overseas fund reporting quarterly. A personal, relationship-focused approach aligns more with Emirati values than a purely transactional one. Within Emirati culture, teamwork and collaboration are the backbone of success. Family groups share a collective mission: to make the UAE the best place to work and live. As expats, we bring unique skills and perspectives—but achieving success often means finding ways to thrive together. The Deeper Meaning of Ma’an Interestingly, Ma’an stems from the Arabic verb ma’aa, meaning "to melt" or "thaw." At first, this may seem contradictory. How can something that implies separation also mean unity? In Arabic, these concepts coexist fluidly. Melting isn’t just about dissolving—it’s about transformation. When something melts, it changes form and comes together in a new way. This metaphor is profound for those looking to collaborate with UAE family offices. You might be the person or product that comes together with a family office in a unique, malleable way—creating something entirely new, built on shared values and mutual goals. Finding Your Ma’an Whether it’s co-developing a project, building a local presence, or simply rethinking how you approach partnerships, the idea of together can unlock new opportunities. In the UAE, success isn’t just about the what—it’s about the how. And when you embrace Ma’an, you’re not just pitching a vision; you’re building a future together.

In the UAE, Family Offices operate on a model of 12 friendship levels 👇 With family-owned businesses making up 90% of the private sector, foreign entities often rely on local family offices to achieve meaningful success in the UAE. But, building these connections goes beyond a transactional approach; these family offices prioritize lasting relationships over short-term gains. So, what kind of friendship do you envision with a UAE family office? Here’s a guide to the 12 levels of friendship as understood by UAE family offices: Qareen – An inseparable friend, someone who understands you completely and vice versa. Safiyy – Your best friend, the person you’ve chosen above all others. Najiyy – A trusted confidant, someone you share your secrets with. Anees – A familiar companion, someone you feel totally at ease around. Khaleel – A close friend whose presence genuinely brings you joy. Sadeeq – A true friend who values the friendship without hidden motives. Rafeeq – A dependable friend, someone you’d consider traveling with. Sahib – A caring friend who looks out for your wellbeing. Nadeem – A casual companion, someone you might enjoy tea with when you’re free. Sameer – A good conversationalist who shares engaging discussions. Jalees – A comfortable presence, someone you can sit with for a while in peace. Zameel – A friendly acquaintance you exchange a simple nod with. No.1 is the closest to you and no.12 is furthest. You could have a zameel that is also your qareen. This approach invites thoughtful consideration—what kind of connection do you aspire to build?

Dear Start Ups, you must understand this, before you come to the UAE for Investment from a local Family Office 👇 Every Family Office in the UAE rely on something called "Shura" or what I call "Human Consensus". Human Consensus - in Middle East societies decisions are usually made on a group basis. Although in the Middle East final decision making is usually made by the head of the family or tribe, there is still a level of consultation with others called "shura". Shura means surveying the opinions of those who are most knowledgeable in order to reach a decision that is best. Therefore within the business world it is important not to only concentrate on building relationships with decision makers but also those that advise them, in addition to surrounding yourself with known brands or known people. So how do you build a Human Consensus around your business or fund in the UAE? Well you have to get people in the UAE or local businesses, using it, talking about it, or gossiping about the amazing names you have partnered with. UAE Family Offices want to see your name in the local news, participating in local events or picking up the phone to another UAE Family Office and hearing your name being repeated. Overall, it is important for your business or personal brand to be seen here and not just for a week of meetings here and there. Show your commitment to the local economy. Actions speak louder than words. However... When is comes to investing in start ups or emerging managers, UAE family offices are still very new to this, as most families businesses have become successful from hard assets like, Industrials, Schools, Hospitals, Leisure, Transportation and much more - what many of you would call "brick and mortar businesses". UAE Families do not yet have years and years of data of investing in venture capital funding rounds, hiring in house talent that can provide technology diligence, or experience in see or being part of successful tech IPOs. Alternatively, the head of investments for the family will not put his job or the Families name on the line to price an early stage start up, unless a level of Consensus\Shura is met!!  Lastly... If you are in Europe right now and you seek a UAE Family Office to lead your series A round, it is very unlikely. If you are in USA right now and you seek a UAE Family Office to anchor your new fund, it is very unlikely. So best start building that local consensus sooner rather than later, as half the world is coming to the UAE and the line to meet local Family Offices is getting longer. The goal of this post is to help with your "timing" of when to raise capital from Family Offices in the UAE. As sometimes you only get 1 shot. Let me know your thoughts below. #FamilyOffice #UAE

Old vs. New Generation Family Offices in the UAE: How Their Investment Theses Differ 👇 Picture this: you’re at a elegant restaurant with a buffet spread fit for royalty in the UAE. Old Generational Ran Family Office: Takes a modest amount of food, reasoning, “I can always go back if I’m still hungry.” There’s patience, restraint, and a long-term view at play—values often shaped over generations. New Generational Ran Family Office: Piles the plate high, focusing on the high-value items, thinking, “This might run out soon; I better get my share now!”It’s about seizing opportunities and maximizing immediate returns. These behaviors aren’t just about food—they’re reflections of mindsets. Old money tends to lean into preservation and sustainability. New money often embraces urgency and abundance. Both have their strengths and pitfalls, whether at the buffet or in how they approach wealth, business, and investments. Which mindset resonates more with you? And how do you see these traits play out in your industry or business life? Family Office Summit Abu Dhabi 4th December 2024 Sign Up Here: www.familyofficesummit.ae #FamilyOffice

Me @StepConference in Dubai a couple of months back : Dear Mr X, how do you ensure that your exciting new product adheres to #EthicalAI principles? Mr X (supposedly a big name in Silicon Valley) : Everyone is tracking you via multiple devices already. If people do not have a problem with it, why should they have a problem with our device?

At its core, it emphasises transparency, fairness, accountability, and inclusivity. At tRetail Labs, we take pride in our commitment to ethical AI principles within everything we do.

Trump’s Gulf Dealmaker Helps Family Cash In on Property Boom : Dar Global CEO has helped bring Trump’s brand to the Gulf : Ziad El Chaar has years of experience in Mideast real estate To get a sense of the Trump Organization’s business ambitions in the Middle East, look no further than Ziad El Chaar. The low-key chief executive officer of Dar Global Plc has been the Trump family’s go-to-guy in the region for over a decade. In recent months, he orchestrated deals with the US president-elect’s eponymous firm to build villas in Oman and new towers in Saudi Arabia and Dubai. As the Trump Organization ramps up its push overseas, few regions offer more opportunity than the Gulf. It’s home to one of the world’s hottest property markets, Dubai, where luxury house prices have surged in recent years. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is building luxury resorts and thousands of new homes as part of a trillion-dollar economic transformation plan. But it’s also a region where the Trump family’s business activities are likely to draw particularly close scrutiny since regional governments typically keep a close hold on business in their countries. “We’re dealing with Trump the business organization, not with Trump politics,” El Chaar said in an interview in Dubai. Before 2016, as an executive at Dubai’s Damac Properties, he worked directly with Donald Trump and daughter Ivanka to help launch their first development in the city. Those direct dealings have since ceased, El Chaar says and he now liaises with Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., both executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization. Still, the distinction between Trump’s roles as politician and businessman can be hard to parse. For instance, while the president-elect resigned from his position at Trump Organization before his first term, he continues to own the firm. Those blurred lines have drawn scrutiny from critics about potential conflicts of interests. Representatives for Trump and the Trump Organization didn’t comment. Dar Global, for its part, hasn’t been shying away from its links to Trump. Earlier this year, its website flaunted its ties to the president-elect, including a montage featuring Eric touring an arid hilly site overlooking the azure waters of Oman. Elsewhere, an undated video showed a smiling Donald Trump standing with Yousef Al-Shelash, the Saudi tycoon who’s chairman of Dar Global’s parent company. Born in Lebanon, El Chaar, 55, is an old hand at navigating Gulf real estate. He recalls brainstorming with senior management at Damac a decade ago on ways to lure property buyers to a stretch of desert outside Dubai. They decided that anchoring a housing development around a Trump golf course would do it. Trump later flew in — by private jet, with Ivanka by his side. An international designer was hired to build an 18-hole golf course, constructed beside a Trump-branded housing development. Damac continues to operate that project, from which the Trump Organization drew at least $4.3 million

Shaping Tomorrow - Insights from Dubai Future Forum 2024 A Gathering of Visionaries - This week, I had the privilege of attending the Dubai Future Forum 2024, where some of the brightest minds and leading innovators came together to explore how our world is evolving. As Executive Director at SIMMETRICO NETWORK, being part of this forward-thinking dialogue is not just inspiring, it’s essential. The forum tackled critical questions shaping our collective tomorrow, from the transformative role of AI in storytelling, to the future of art and museums, and the importance of curation in a digitally evolving world. These discussions are not just academic, they reflect the pulse of the innovation driving our region and beyond. At Simmetrico Getting Engaged in such influential forum underscores why we continuously align ourselves with the latest innovations and global trends. Events like this inform our vision and sharpen our ability to create immersive, forward-facing projects that bridge the gap between tradition and the future. It was also a unique opportunity to reflect on how spaces, experiences, and storytelling will evolve as AI and other emerging technologies become more integral. These insights directly feed into how we shape our work, especially in the realms of future museums and cultural exhibitions. One of the most impactful takeaways for me was the role of collaboration in shaping the future. Hearing from visionary speakers and connecting with thought leaders reaffirmed that the key to innovation lies in shared perspectives and co-creation. Whether through redefining how we tell stories or imagining the museums of the future, the collective energy at this forum was a testament to the possibilities we can unlock together. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the DUBAI FUTURE FOUNDATION and the Museum of the Future team for hosting such a pivotal and inspiring event. A special thanks to all the incredible speakers and participants , your insights and contributions made this experience truly unforgettable. #DubaiFutureForum #FutureOfStorytelling #Innovation #MuseumsOfTheFuture #AIAndArt #SimmetricoExperience #CuratingTomorrow #FutureCollaboration #DubaiEvents #ImmersiveDesign
