      Etihad Rail: Reach Abu Dhabi via train under an hour

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      1 hour ago

      The Etihad Rail network, a massive railway project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is nearing completion and promises to change travel within the country and potentially the entire Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Here’s a breakdown of the latest developments:
      Network Completion and Travel Times:
      The Sandpiercer network, the UAE’s national railway network, is now 100% complete. Travel times for future passenger train services have been confirmed for some routes:

      Abu Dhabi to Dubai: 57 minutes
      Abu Dhabi to Al Ruwais: 70 minutes
      Abu Dhabi to Fujairah: 105 minutes

      Passenger Train Stations:
      The first two confirmed passenger station locations are:

      Sakamkam, Fujairah
      Sharjah, University City

      Other potential station locations include:

      Dubai (near Jumeirah Golf Estates metro station)
      Abu Dhabi (along the pipeline corridor separating Mussafah Industrial Area and Mohammed Bin Zayed City)

      The stations will allow for seamless integration with existing public transportation networks like Dubai’s nol card system.

      Etihad Rail Future Expansion: The GCC Railway Network
      The Etihad Rail project has ambitions beyond the UAE. A contract has been signed with Jordan to collaborate on a 360km rail network, hinting at future regional connectivity. The most significant development is the Hafeet Rail project, a عمان (Oman)-UAE railway. Construction is underway on this USD 3 billion project. The 238 km railway will connect Sohar, Oman to Abu Dhabi, UAE. Travel time between the two cities will be reduced to 100 minutes at speeds of 200 kph. This project paves the way for the first modern cross-border train service in the Arab world.

      Overall Impact of Etihad Rail
      The Etihad Rail project is a game-changer for transportation in the UAE and the wider GCC region. It promises faster travel times, reduced carbon emissions, and a more connected future. The project’s success could pave the way for a more integrated and efficient transportation network across the Arabian Peninsula.

      Erth’s visionary CEO on outlining a path to global prominence for Emirati hospitality

      by

      Life

      by Camille Macawili
      37 mins ago

      Shaikha Al Kaabi, Erth’s visionary CEO, outlines a path to global prominence for Emirati hospitality.
      What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
      My day begins with a moment of prayer, which sets a tranquil and focused tone. I then engage in light exercise to invigorate my body and mind. After that, I review my schedule to ensure I am well-prepared for the day’s meetings and projects, including our work at Erth Abu Dhabi, Ecole Ducasse Abu Dhabi Studio, and Erth Al Hosn. This routine reflects our broader organisational values, emphasising mindfulness and preparation. It mirrors our approach to staff development at Erth, where we support both long-standing team members and young Emirati talent in creating a productive and harmonious work environment.

      Shaikha Al Kaabi, CEO at Erth
      What is the USP of Erth Abu Dhabi and how do you approach things differently?
      Erth Abu Dhabi distinguishes itself through its seamless integration of Emirati heritage with modern luxury. Our unique selling proposition is the authentic Emirati experience we offer, showcased in our architecture, hospitality, and culinary offerings. We provide a diverse range of facilities, including a 350-meter private Blue Flag certified beach and an elegantly designed swimming pool, all within Abu Dhabi’s vibrant cultural and business hubs. Our commitment to staff development and retention is also a key differentiator. We have a remarkable legacy of long-serving staff – some have been with us for over 25 years – demonstrating the stability and excellence we bring. Additionally, we actively invest in nurturing young Emirati talent, ensuring a dynamic and innovative team that enhances our guest experience and reflects our commitment to both tradition and modernity.
      Can you define the inspiration behind the design?
      The design of Erth Abu Dhabi is a tribute to the visionary legacy of His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE. His vision for a recreational space for the UAE Armed Forces has been realised with a design that celebrates Emirati culture and heritage.
      The architecture draws inspiration from the falcon – a symbol of strength and vision – while the interiors reflect the beauty of the UAE’s landscapes, the warmth of its people, and the richness of its history. This respect for tradition extends to our staff ’s dedication. We blend traditional influences with modern design, ensuring that both our architecture and our service approach honour our cultural roots while appealing to contemporary tastes. Erth Abu Dhabi menus celebrate the rich heritage of history and UAE culture.
      What is Erth’s culinary vision?
      At Erth, our culinary vision is to elevate Emirati cuisine by merging traditional flavours with contemporary techniques. We prioritise sustainability by sourcing ingredients locally, which supports the local economy and reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship. Our goal is to offer guests an authentic taste of the UAE, presenting the depth and diversity of our culinary traditions within a modern context. This approach to cuisine is mirrored in our staff development efforts. We emphasise training that integrates traditional culinary techniques with modern practices, ensuring that our team can deliver dishes that resonate with both our heritage and global culinary trends.
      To you, what are the key standout dishes?
      Our standout dishes feature innovative takes on traditional Emirati recipes. For example, our Farid Inspired Ravioli Fusion combines slow-cooked lamb with regag bread and pasta, served with a rich lamb emulsion sauce. Our Luqaimat dessert is a delightful contrast of textures – crisp on the outside, with a soft, airy center, glazed with date syrup and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to reflect our culture and heritage.

      Erth Abu Dhabi offers a unique environment to experience traditional Emirati cuisine – was this the plan from the outset?
      From the beginning, our vision for Erth was to create a destination where guests can deeply engage with Emirati culture. We aimed to offer more than just a dining experience; we wanted to provide an immersive journey through our traditions and heritage. Every aspect of Erth is designed to ensure that each visit is a meaningful exploration of our cultural legacy. Our commitment to this vision is supported by our team, including both long-serving staff and emerging Emirati talent.
      How important is it to use traditional techniques and how do you combine this with contemporary design?
      Maintaining authenticity is crucial, so we blend traditional cooking techniques with modern innovations. This approach allows us to honor our culinary heritage while also appealing to a global audience. By integrating time-honoured methods with contemporary design, we create dishes that are deeply rooted in tradition yet aligned with modern tastes. Our approach to staff development follows this philosophy. We provide training that combines traditional practices with contemporary methods, ensuring that our team is equipped to meet evolving expectations while preserving our cultural heritage.

      The culinary journey experience at Erth Abu Dhabi is exceptional – can you expand on how you’ve achieved this in such a location?
      Creating an exceptional culinary journey at Erth involves meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence. We have showcased our capabilities at significant local events, such as serving over 15,000 meals daily at key Abu Dhabi events and providing diverse experi- ences during major cultural and business gatherings in the city. These achievements reflect the dedication of our team, including long-standing professionals and young Emirati talent, who contribute to delivering exceptional experiences.
      This year, the Erth restaurant has been awarded one Michelin Star by The Michelin Guide. How does it feel to accomplish this title?
      Receiving a Michelin Star is a profound honor and a testament to the dedication and talent of our entire team. It validates our commitment to elevating Emirati cuisine on a global stage and motivates us to continue innovating and pushing the boundaries of the culinary arts.
      What has been the biggest challenge to date and how did you overcome it?
      One of our greatest challenges has been balancing the preservation of our cultural heritage with the evolving demands of modern hospitality. We have navigated this challenge by staying true to our cultural roots while embracing innovative practices. This approach has allowed us to honour our traditions while meeting contemporary expectations. Our staff development strategy has been crucial in this process. By investing in both seasoned professionals and emerging talent, we ensure that our team is well-equipped to address these challenges effectively.

      This is The Visionary Issue – how do you view the future of Erth Abu Dhabi?
      Looking ahead, our vision for Erth is to become not just a premier destination in Abu Dhabi, but a global beacon of Emirati hospitality. We aim to continue celebrating and sharing our rich cultural legacy while expanding our international presence. Our commitment to both heritage and innovation, supported by our dedicated team of long-standing staff and new talent, will guide us as we strive to make a lasting impact on the global stage.

      How I got my job as… Artist Director at Ethara

      by

      This week, Emirates Man speaks to Ethara’s Artist Director, Jason Johnson.
      Welcome to the Emirates Man weekly series ‘How I got my job as…’ where we speak to some incredible entrepreneurs and businessmen both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they’d give to those starting out; and the hurdles they’ve had to overcome.
      As the Artist and Content Director in Abu Dhabi, Jason orchestrates unforgettable live entertainment experiences by curating diverse lineups of international and local artists. With over 15 years of experience in the industry, Jason brings a wealth of expertise to his role, ensuring the seamless execution of each event through meticulously navigating contract negotiations and promoting teamwork across departments.
      Jason has built a diverse portfolio during his seven years at Ethara, spotlighting acts from Dua Lipa to Eminem, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, and Guns N’ Roses, alongside stars like Pink, Post Malone, Andrea Bocelli, and comedians Dave Chappelle and Russell Peters. Jason also plays a crucial role in the Yasalam F1 After-Race concerts, blending top international artists with up-and-coming talents to create a vibrant atmosphere at the events.
      An influential player in the industry, Jason extends his influence beyond concerts to foster the local music scene, evidenced by the Regional Artist Spotlight programme. This initiative has elevated the profiles of over 25 local and regional acts through strategic partnerships.
      Emirates Man spoke to Jason to see how it all began. Here, Jason shares his career journey and insider insights that comes with the job of putting together a show like no other.

      What was your favourite subject at school?
      I enjoyed a few of them but Entrepreneurial Studies stands out the most to me. There was a programme back home in Canada for entrepreneurial studies in high school and I opted for it, not thinking much, and it left a much bigger impact on my life because of the lessons I’ve learned from it. It taught me a lot of skills that I find myself using to this day in my role that constantly has me negotiating with artist management, resolving issues, and strategically allocating our resources at Ethara.
      What was your first job?
      I worked as a cashier at a fast-food chain in Toronto. I believe it gave me a good understanding of working with a large number of people. One of the main aspects of my job was conversing with people, and working in the service industry definitely helped me build a strong foundation for dealing with different personalities. Since then, I’ve worked in the live entertainment industry for over 15 years, from owning an entertainment agency to now being the Artist Director at Ethara – it’s been a long journey to get where I am.
      What eventually brought you to the Abu Dhabi?
      I initially came here to visit a friend who had just relocated to the country. So when I came, checked it out, and thought, “I’m gonna live here.” And that was it. It was an immediate decision, but it took me six years to make it happen. During those six years, I would come back every year. The growth was exponential in the city and you could feel the energy throughout. And it felt like no idea was too big.
      What inspired you to enter the entertainment space?
      I believe I was always in the entertainment space. I think it comes from my Jamaican culture. Our culture is all about bringing families together on the weekends and organising parties and events. So it felt like a natural extension of things that I did with my family to my friends and then expanded it to everyone else.
      What are the key elements of your role as Artist Director at Ethara?
      The exciting part about my job at Ethara is that I wear many hats. It’s always interesting and challenging. Sometimes I act as a lawyer finalising contracts and then strategising e with the marketing team; no two days are ever the same and that’s what I love.
      In a nutshell, my main focus areas are artist procurement, IP development, and event programming. I can go from negotiating commercial points and also working with a team to delivering the events. Research and development is a big part of what we do. Trends have shifted, especially around F1 and subsequently with the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. The audience has gotten younger and more diverse We look at diversifying the lineup over the week. We try to adapt by looking at the trends, making sure that we are ahead of it. Our team works year-round to ensure we deliver the best event we can to support one of the biggest sporting events in the Middle East.

      Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023
      Talk us through your daily routine.
      I usually wake up around 7:00 AM every day and start my day with a matcha. I play some piano right after since I’m currently learning it. It helps me clear my mind and sets me up to start on the right note.
      I’ll start by checking my emails and liaising with artist agencies to plan any potential performances in the UAE. I’ll move on to researching artist touring data if we’re currently actively in a cycle of procuring artists and announcing artists. Then it’s my responsibility to coordinate with all of our other departments to ensure that whatever is contractually agreed upon is acceptable for everyone involved. After that, I facilitate the approvals for the announcement and serve as a point of contact to verify everything adheres to our contractual terms.
      In the background, a lot is happening, and we simultaneously plan for the coming years and look at what commercial shows might make sense for this year and years to come. Thankfully, we have such a great team that is well-oiled that has done this year after year. And I don’t think any of us individually could say it’s because of us. It really is a hive mind and a collective movement, especially when we are in sync leading up to an event.
      What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps?
      What I always tell people is that the fastest and easiest way to achieve success is to be consistent. It’s the only way to do or become anything you want. If you get up tomorrow, and you’re like, “I’m going to take 1 step towards this thing”, you might miss a day. But what is important, is that the next day, you come back. You need to be determined to take another step that eventually compounds over time. These small steps move you yards. You may not see your progress right now, but the only thing that actually genuinely works is to be consistent. And the sooner you become more consistent, the easier it is for everything else to happen and fall into place.
      What is the best piece of advice you ever received?
      One of the best pieces of advice I’ve actually ever gotten was, “If you think the price of winning is too high, wait until you get the bill for regret.” And it speaks volumes to me because if you take a shot at what you want, you will always be content that you tried even if it didn’t work out. But to think, “What could have happened if I tried?” is a mindset you should try to stray away from. And I apply this advice daily in my professional and personal life.
      Tell us what guests can expect at the upcoming Yasalam After-Race Concerts?
      This year we have an incredible lineup of artists delivering an unparalleled 4 nights of entertainment at Etihad Park, headlining the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Featuring world-class artists, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix’s 16th edition will feature multi-platinum artist Teddy Swims and electronic music royalty Peggy Gou on the first night of the event. Friday and Saturday will feature Grammy award-winning artists and American icons Maroon 5 and Eminem, respectively. Wrapping up a four-day thriller is British rock legends Muse, closing the region’s biggest sporting and entertainment event on a high. You don’t want to miss these performances.

      Teddy Swims and Peggy Gou
      What has been the biggest challenge in your role at Ethara?
      When it comes to the Yasalam After-Race Concerts, we have to constantly think outside the box. We had to look at what made the most sense for the lineup. In recent years, we have definitely wanted to have an even balance of star power across the four days of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which is something that we have been mindful of this year.
      But that decision alone involves 10,000 things that you have to consider. There are things like budgets, artist availability, artist calibre, touring dates, and all these elements that we look at solely for artist selection. It requires a lot of effort, and it took a lot to finalise the lineup this year. We are incredibly excited for our audience to finally see Muse, Maroon 5, Eminem, and our latest additions—Teddy Swims and Peggy Gou perform at Etihad Park.
      What are your goals for the future?
      My hope for Ethara is that we continue being what we currently are: the premier, one-stop destination for entertainment. Whether it’s small or large-scale productions of any kind, I want us to become a key player in the regional market, able to rival international businesses. I hope the team keeps refining and creating experiences that turn into core memories for people—moments they carry with them for life.
