Spotlight on Dubai

Institute member, Stuart Dickie, Chief Financial Officer at Jumeirah Group, shares his favourite places for your next business trip to Dubai

Have lunch at…

Rockfish

“You’re spoilt for choice for food in Dubai but this relaxing seafood restaurant is one of my favourites. Rockfish at Jumeirah Al Naseem is the home of celebrity chef, Marco Garfagnini, and also happens to be a fabulous beachfront property. It’s the perfect setting to watch a spectacular sunset and also gives you one of the best views of the Burj Al Arab. I highly recommend the lobster risotto,” says Dickie.

Relax at…

La Mer

“If you have a couple of hours to spare, then head down to La Mer. There’s something for everyone, regardless of whether you’re visiting on your own or with your family. Take your pick from a wide range of restaurants, from fast food to fine dining, go shopping, go to the cinema or just sit with a coffee and watch the world go by. Don’t forget your swimming costume as there’s also 2.5 kilometres of white sandy beach and a water park to enjoy!” says Dickie.
