Why tech unicorns are backing Dubai

DUBAI EYE 103.8
About this episode

Tech unicorn CEO's are coming out to bat for Dubai - saying it is fast becoming the global launchpad for the next generation of innovation.

And with oil prices soaring, the cost of cooling your home is likely to rise, even here in the UAE.

So is now the time to make the switch to solar?

Meanwhile, with restaurants in the UAE face rising costs and tough choices, a brand new platform's opening up to help them save money on ingredients.

If you're looking for something to keep the family occupied this week - The Ripe Market re-opens this afternoon, with longer hours and lots more on offer.

And it's hard to believe - but the next Eid break is only one month away. And if you take the Monday off, you'll get a nine day break. 

So should you be booking a trip or planning a staycation? We look at the best options.
