Dubai, the limitless dream
Once a small fishing port secluded from the world, Dubai has emerged as the premier city of the United Arab Emirates in just 30 years. With 3 million inhabitants representing 200 nationalities, it has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities globally. Showcasing boundless luxury and futuristic visions, Dubai has built its renown through monumental projects. From the world's tallest tower to its artificial archipelagos, it has crafted a true urban legend. Propelled by increasingly ambitious and innovative real estate projects, Dubai experiences one of the planet's most robust growths, aiming to be the world's foremost destination for luxury tourism.
Founded in 2007 by businessman Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal, Alserkal Initiatives is a forward-thinking cultural enterprise in Dubai. In the heart of the Al Quoz industrial area, the impressive Alserkal Avenue spans over 47,000m². The concept is to create a collaborative district bringing together over 70 contemporary art galleries, visual and performing arts organizations, designers, local businesses, and community spaces to cultivate a creative economy.
At the core of this talent incubator is the second pillar of this visionary project: the Alserkal Arts Foundation. A non-profit organization dedicated to supporting artistic production in all its forms. Research grants, alternative learning, artist residencies – the Foundation brings together talents and aims to shine a light on creative thinking in the region. Lastly, the third pillar of Alserkal Initiatives, Alserkal Advisory. A multidisciplinary structure that gathers thinkers, researchers, and experts, it draws inspiration from the artistic and cultural productions developed within Alserkal Avenue to advise public and private sector entities in developing sustainable and responsive business models. A unique concept, Alserkal Initiatives is a cultural visit not to be missed on your next trip to Dubai!

3 FILS, Dubai's hidden gem
In Dubai, the biggest names in international cuisine compete with extravagance to establish their presence. Awarded by the Michelin Guide, 3 Fils gained its reputation differently. In 2016, the team of this casually elegant restaurant set themselves a challenge: to redefine dining in Dubai. Seven years later, the challenge is met. Seated on the Jumeirah port, you can savor small signature plates and reinvented fresh flavors: Hokkaido Scallop, Dragon Sushi, or Wagyu Overload Burger take the spotlight. Customers appreciate the attentive service and remember this motto: «No matter your attire, our home is your home, and the doors are wide open».
