Maradona is going to launch his first sports cafe in Dubai sometime next year. The cafe is going to have an all football theme and is developed by “UAE property tycoon Sulaiman Al Fahim, architect of last year’s Manchester City takeover.”

Excerpts from the article:

“The café – modelled on the Planet Hollywood concept – will feature memorabilia from the Argentinean footballer’s career, and also include items from other soccer stars such as Brazilian heroes Pele, Zico and Dunga.

Maradona’s cousin Remigio Martin Maradona told Arabian Business: “It will be a football café featuring themes from many football greats, not just Maradona.

It will be dedicated to soccer, with screens showing World Cup goals, and shirts, balls, gloves and other items donated by people like Pele,” he added.”

Today me and Ali lost our car in Mall of Emirate’s parking and guess what? They are introducing a new (at least for me its new) service which is helping you find your car for free. Its a very smart and helpful idea in my opinion!

In a couple of hours i will be heading to Abu Dhabi to attend a confrence. I’ll be staying for almost 4 days. I book a hotel at Dubai’s borders, nearest possible hotel to AbuDhabi. I’ll be connected to the blogging world, I brought all the needed equipment to do so.

My friend shot this video of the new Nissan Z370, which was under cover and being tested in sheikh Zayed’s street, while he was in Dubai on 18-12-08.

Thanks Talal

I got this via email so I don’t know how true it is and when they’ll start using them in Kuwait:

“There is a new road tracking system on Dubai Roads. These are not just nicer looking radar cameras – they are a lot more lethal, so be careful.

First thing is that these cameras do not flash. They can take photos in complete darkness through ultra-light sensors, so even if it does not flash, it could have caught you. They also automatically read your number plate from the picture taken.

Now, comes the thing that catches most people. These cameras are continuous photo-taking cameras and they will take your photo regardless if you have been speeding or not. Then the next camera in 3-5 kms again does the same. Now, instead of checking your speed through advanced radars, these cameras are very simple and all they do is calculate how fast you traveled between the 2 cameras. If you arrived at the next camera faster than 120 km/h (or whatever the speed limit is) then you get fined.”

Thanks Tariq.
