In Dubai, we don’t dress for the weather. We dress for the air conditioning. Ours is a wardrobe engineered for a 22°C dining room, for valet parking and marble lobbies, for the 11 metres between a car door and a hostess stand. It is a magnificent wardrobe. It is also, as I have learned the hard way, one that can look faintly unhinged on a damp Tuesday in Marylebone.

Two decades ago, Saadiyat Island was little more than a stretch of undeveloped coastline off Abu Dhabi. Today, the same island has become one of the UAE’s most coveted luxury addresses, where residents can spend the morning walking along white-sand beaches, the afternoon inside a world-class museum, and the evening between waterfront restaurants and private beach clubs. Multimillion-dollar villas now sit alongside a growing cultural district anchored by institutions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi. For years, luxury real estate in the UAE has almost always been synonymous with Dubai. The Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, and the city’s skyline became shorthand…
