Dubai Residents & Experts - Eyewitness Accounts & Daily Life Impact

#journorequest Call for Voices: Dubai Today — Eyewitness Accounts & Expert Perspectives Hey, hope you are keeping safe and well—and finding some joy in the rain. I’m currently working on a reported piece on Dubai as we know it today for Khabar, an award-winning monthly print magazine serving Indian Americans in Atlanta and beyond. Established in 1992, it remains one of the longest-standing publications for the Indian diaspora in the U.S. (https://khabar.com/). This piece aims to bring together both eyewitness accounts and expert perspectives on the current situation, capturing how life on the ground is unfolding. I am looking to include voices across the following areas: 1. Real Estate — Are transactions continuing? What shifts, if any, are you observing? 2. Grocery / Supply Chain — How stable are supplies? What has changed operationally, if anything? 3. Economy / Finance — Is the economy holding its ground? What indicators support this? 4. Community / Wellness— Have you been offering (or involved in) mental health or community support initiatives? and the same for Restaurants, which stepped up to offer meals 5. Travel / Mobility — Are residents leaving temporarily, or is that perception overstated? 6. Residents / Parents — Any heartfelt, lived experiences of navigating daily life in this moment 7. Schools/Educational Institutes: On remote learning, early spring break If you’d like to contribute, please email me at [email redacted] with the following: * A quote (up to 150 words) * Your full name * A one-line introduction (designation/role) * A profile image Emails only, please. Deadline: Wednesday, 25 March, EOD. Thank you—and take care. Warmly, Purva
