MOUNT KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA 
Etihad Airways has never been an airline that conforms to convention. It’s just not our way. 
Instead, we constantly strive to introduce impressive products and 
services to make Etihad Airways the undisputed leader in modern air 
travel. You’ll find many examples of this in our short but groundbreaking 
11 years of operations – from our Inflight Chefs and Flying Nannies to 
the soon-to-be-introduced Residence suite with its own Butler on our 
new A380 aircraft from December. 
Our latest example is something that you will not fail to notice as 
our planes fly to all six continents of the world: a bold new livery for 
our aircraft. 
This striking new design will fly us into the future, and quite frankly 
there is simply nothing else like it in the world. The exciting new design 
is inspired by traditional Emirati design patterns to reflect our strong 
and proud Arabian heritage in a fresh and modern way. It echoes the 
landscapes and hues of our homeland as well as the geometric shapes 
found in the modern architecture of Abu Dhabi. You’ll also see the UAE 
national emblem and the national flag prominently positioned along 
the fuselage next to the Etihad Airways name. 
We very much hope you like the new design, which is unmistakably 
unique and will gradually appear on all our aircraft in due course. 
Finally, I am delighted to tell you about a further three new Etihad 
Airways routes for 2015 – Baku, Tbilisi, and Dar es Salaam. These 
destinations join six other services previously announced for 2015 
– Kolkata in February, Madrid in March, Entebbe in May, and Algiers, 
Edinburgh and Hong Kong in June. 
A four-times-a-week service to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and 
a three-times-a-week service to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, will 
begin in October. Both cities are famed for their warm hospitality and 
natural beauty, offering a range of botanic gardens and parks, as well 
as historic attractions, museums and galleries. I know they will become 
popular additions to our network. 
Baku and Tbilisi will be followed by daily flights to Dar es Salaam 
in Tanzania in December, our 11th destination in Africa and one of 
East Africa’s most important centres with tourist attractions including 
Mount Kilimanjaro. 
These new routes build upon the extensive network development 
which has occurred in 2014 with the launch of seven new routes 
to Jaipur, Los Angeles, Medina, Perth, Rome, Yerevan, and Zurich. We are 
not finished yet, as new flights to Phuket in Thailand start this month, 
followed by the US cities of San Francisco in November and Dallas 
in December. 
From our unique new aircraft livery to a constant focus on giving you 
the best new world-class destinations, it’s all proof that Etihad Airways 
really is a special new force in modern global aviation. 
Thank you for flying with Etihad Airways. We hope you enjoyed your flight 
with us today, and look forward to welcoming you on board one of our 
aircraft again soon.

PILGRIMS PROGRESS 
One of Egypt’s most important moulids [religious festivals], the Moulid of Sayyed Ahmed al- 
Badawi, will transform Tanta in the Nile Delta – around 90 kilometres from Cairo – towards the 
middle of this month. The eight-day festival honours a Moroccan Sufi who fought the Crusaders 
in the 13th century. Up to three million pilgrims make their way to Tanta from across the Arab 
world to pay their respects in the city’s richly ornamented, triple-domed mosque, which holds 
al-Badawi’s tomb. Thousands sleep either inside or around this building during the festivities as a 
mark of respect. Expect chanting and ritual songs, boisterous parades and rolling drums, snake 
charmers, shisha [water pipes], hubb el Azziz [sugared nut snacks], and vendors selling tartours 
[cone-shaped hats]. The chaotic religious fervour includes Sufizikr ceremonies, where participants 
chant and clap their way into a trance, in an attempt to achieve unity with God.

STAMPEDE TO SYDNEY 
The Stampede is charging around Australia bringing complex obstacles and convoluted 
courses in a fundraising challenge that will test the hardiest of souls. This month sees 
Sydney on the blocks on 18 October. Participants will run wild through an epic 5km or 10km 
obstacle course focused on fun that pushes each partaker to the limit – from inching their 
way through thick mud, climbing cargo nets, speeding down the mega slip-and-slide and 
dashing through live wires charged with 10,000 volts. It’s challenging, rewarding and fun for 
all fitness levels, with the junior stampede catering for mini contestants aged five-11 years. 
The youngsters confront a 2km course with 10 kid-friendly obstacles. In addition, the Sydney 
Stampede is offering something new this year – for participants to buddy up and tackle the 
course together, attached with specially designed bungee belts.

Every year, during the second full weekend in 
October – this year, 9-12 October – Ruidoso 
Downs in the American state of New Mexico 
plays host to what may be the nation’s finest 
cowboy festival. Held at the Ruidoso Downs 
Race Track, the Lincoln County Cowboy 
Symposium sees old west storytellers, 
noted historians, poets, musicians, western 
artists, craftsmen, and a whole lot of 
cowboys ride into town for four days. The 
events include cowboy competitions, horse 
demonstrations, western swing dancing, 
a kids’ rodeo, and lots of country and 
western music. The highlight is the World 
Championship Chuckwagon Competition, 
with prizes totalling US$13,000. This is not 
the standard chuckwagon race – instead it 
is a cook-off, where competitors are judged 
on their mouth-watering food, and on the 
authenticity of their wagons and attire. 
They’ll have to cook up a storm to feed the 
20,000 visitors gathering to celebrate all 
things western.

WHITE NIGHTS 
In 2006, one fine night in September, Toronto in Canada kept its eyes open from dusk until the 
early pre-dawn hours. The city buzzed with excitement as Scotiabank Nuit Blanche was unleashed 
on an unsuspecting city, the all-night exploration and celebration of contemporary art keeping 
slumber at bay. Since then, one night a year is dedicated to this multi-location artistic endeavour, 
which sees art grace the streets, parks and all manner of venue across the city. Toronto won’t be 
sleeping this year on 4 October, with the free art event kicking off at 6:53pm and flowing through 
to sunrise. Hundreds of artists are involved in creating more than 125 art projects. Some works 
encourage an intimate encounter with art, others wow with large-scale spectacle. The curated 
projects this year include Between the earth and the sky, the possibility of everything; The Night 
Circus; and Performance Anxiety, but you’ll find surprises around every corner.

TRUFFLE TIME 
The Alba White Truffle Festival kicks off on 11 
October, running every weekend through to 
mid-November, and is the highlight of the white 
truffle season in Italy. The Piedmont region, 
where Alba is located, is considered to produce 
the best white truffles in the world. As such, 
visitors travel from far and wide to take part in 
the White Truffle Festival in Alba’s central square, 
the epicentre of the truffle-globe. The festival 
features not only the tasty fungus, but also arts 
and cultural events and spectacles that revolve 
around the celebration. One of the non-culinary 
highlights is the donkey race, held on the first 
weekend of the festivities. Heralded by a lavish 
medieval procession and theatrical pageantry 
re-enacting key moments of Alba’s history, the 
race is a comedy of errors, with the stubborn 
beasts refusing to run, or cantering off wilfully 
in the wrong direction, their desperate jockeys 
trying to urge them over the finish line.

Globe-Trotter has been around since 1897, although the company relocated 
from Germany to England in 1932, where it has remained. Every suitcase 
produced by the luxury travel brand is handmade in the UK on original 
Victorian machinery. The cases are constructed from vulcanised fibreboard, 
composed of 14 layers of specially bonded paper, with the corners, handles 
and straps crafted from leather. Don’t miss the recently launched Voyage 
collection, which is handcrafted in sumptuous purple, comp lemented with rich 
burgundy leather trim and brass hardware. This is the first time Globe-Trotter 
has released a purple edition, which also celebrates the 10-year anniversary of 
the company’s first limited edition featuring a Liberty-print lining. Opening the 
Voyager case reveals the exquisite Hera peacock feather print, which originally 
debuted in the 1890s as a furnishing fabric.

TURTLE TIME 
The private island of Sainte Anne in the Seychelles is home 
to a Beachcomber Hotel, lapped by the waters of one of 
the world’s largest marine par ks. The turtle egg-laying 
season starts here this month, lasting until January. Each 
day, turtles venture ashore to lay their eggs on one of the 
six beaches or creeks that form the beautiful shores. Two 
months later, hatching begins, giving guests an amazing 
glimpse of nature. Aware of the importance of the 
preservation of these animals, the hotel has committed 
to a protection programme in conjunction with Sainte 
Anne’s marine park authorities. Every birth that occurs on 
the island is reported and the turtles are regularly counted 
and weighed. Procedures are implemented to guarantee 
the preservation of the fragile ecosystem, with the nests 
clearly marked, and lights switched off at night to offer 
the creatures peace and privacy. An increasing number of 
turtles returning to the island year on year suggests these 
measures are working.

yet opens to reveal the world, and the matt lacquered ply floor can be rolled 
away for access to a small storage space below. Rolled up, the boards 
become the carrying case for the frame and accessories. The real creativity, 
though, is in the custom-made hoist that allows the user to haul themselves 
three metres off the ground. Based on an engineering scheme from the 18th

AN ODE TO THE OKAVANGO 
UNESCO has officially designated Botswana’s unique Okavango Delta its 1,000th World 
Heritage Site. Situated in north-western Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a broad, fan-shaped 
plain of permanent swamps and seasonally flooded grassland, spanning an area 
roughly twice the size of Qatar. Its extraordinary annual flooding, which occurs in the 
dry season, supports one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, sustaining 
populations of threatened large mammals such as the cheetah, the white and black 
rhinoceros, the wild dog and the lion. It harbours 24 species of globally threatened birds and 
is key to the survival of Botswana’s population of 130,000 elephant – the largest community 
of the species in the world. The Okavango also supports the lives of thousands of people by 
providing fresh water, food, building materials, medicinal plants and employment through 
tourism. The proposal for World Heritage listing was strongly backed by the indigenous 
peoples living in and around the delta, who have conserved the area for millennia.

Hatching a plan 
THE INVENTOR OF THE ORIGINAL HOT HATCH HAS CREATED SOMETHING EVEN HOTTER WITH ITS LATEST 
ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE MODEL. BUT IS THE GOLF R WORTH THE EXTRA SPEND OVER THE ALREADY LEGENDARY GTI? 
It was 1976 and a motoring revolution was 
brewing. With the global oil crisis in full swing, 
frugal fun was certainly a winning formula. 
One German car-maker understood that not 
everyone could afford a sports car, and proved 
that keen drivers need not be lumped with 
boring metal. Volkswagen set out to capture 
customers by appealing to their sensible 
nature. It took a humble city runabout, the Golf, 
and installed a ground-breaking, K-Jetronic 
mechanical fuel injection system. This gave it 
110bhp, which, combined with stiffer suspension 
and direct steering, made it a blast to punt 
down the local B-road. A redesigned interior, 
wider wheels and GTI badges were added. The 
first “hot hatch” was born. 
Seven generations later and the GTI is still 
the pick for those who want hatch practicality 
but enjoy a bit of fun on the weekends. But, 
like everything in life, there are those who 
want more. Thus, with the advent of the 
Golf Mk IV, Volkswagen decided to be a bit 
creative. It took a 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine 
making 237hp and shoehorned it into the tiny 
engine bay of the GTI, adding a driveshaft to 
also power the rear wheels, creating an all-paw 
20 
screamer. The Golf R32 entered the world 
with a zinging engine and tremendous grip, 
even if it wasn’t especially fast. 
The next iteration was brilliant – more 
power, better balance, better sound. It was 
quick and affordable, but again, was quite 
heavy. A move to reduce emissions meant 
downsizing the engine, thus the Mk VI Golf R 
utilised a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder. 
A good effort, on paper, it was executed 
poorly in reality. Despite being all-wheel-drive, 
it behaved exactly like a front-wheel-drive car, 
understeering when pushed and far too laggy 
when coming on boost. 
The result was rather undignifying – the 
front ploughed on in almost every corner 
and the rear wheels couldn’t supply enough 
power to bring the back around. Apart from 
the extra power over the Golf GTI, there was 
absolutely no benefit in paying the thousands 
of dollars extra it cost. 
However, in 2014 a new version was 
launched, and The Mark VII Golf R is very 
different to its predecessor. It’s longer, wider 
and heavier, but it counters with more power, 
better suspension and a far more capable 
drive system. 
Again, it’s a 2.0-litre boosted four-pot, but 
Volkswagen has beefed up the internals to 
handle the extra grunt. The cylinder head, 
exhaust valves, valve seats and springs 
have been all upgraded, while redesigned 
pistons, injection valves and turbocharger 
are included. It’s a strong engine; oh yes, 
aftermarket tuners will be rubbing their hands 
with glee. 
Using a dual-clutch transmission (the 
much-vaunted six-speed, rather than the 
sloppy seven-speed), the Golf R puts its 
power effectively, launching it to 100kph in 
just five seconds. But while it’s impressive in 
a straight-line, it’s most at home attacking a 
corner. Using a Haldex 5 apportioning drive 
system, each wheel is primed to compensate 
for slip, even before it happens. 
The result is a beautifully balanced vehicle, 
and one that doesn’t raise the white flag to 
physics partway through a curve. Even if the 
road tightens, keep your foot buried, allowing 
the electronic brain to sense the yaw and 
shuffling the torque to the needed wheels. 
The system is completely seamless, feeling 
as natural as a well-sorted rear-wheel-drive, 
and it simply pulls you through the bend and 
slingshots you out the other side. 
Despite this elec-trickery going on 
underneath, it never feels disconnected or 
artificial. There’s good weighting from the 
steering, the brakes give good feel and the 
paddles mounted on the steering wheel shift 
near-instantly. 
In Race mode, there’s even a growly 
exhaust note, adding to the enjoyment. 
Couple that with a beautifully built interior and 
heaps of room and the Golf R passes as not 
just a hot hatch, but a genuine daily mode 
of transport.

IN WITH THE OLD 
LONDON’S ICONIC SAVOY HOTEL HAS RE-OPENED AFTER A MULTIMILLION-POUND 
RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS PRESTIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENT IS AT THE FOREFRONT 
OF ALL THAT IS MODERN LUXURY, BUT HAS MAINTAINED ITS TRADITIONAL BRITISH 
AESTHETIC AND OLDE-WORLDE CHARM. 
WORDS REEM FEKRI 
Lunch 
Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill serves up a 
wonderful array of traditional and comforting, 
yet classy, food. A strong Art Deco aesthetic 
filters through the square, endearingly lit 
dining room. The neo-Edwardian menu proves 
the perfect solution for a rainy-day lunch. 
Savour pan-fried gnocchi with sea vegetables 
and sweet garlic or a forest mushroom and 
confit potato pie with cabbage. 
Afternoon Tea 
There’s nothing quite as quintessentially 
English as high tea, and this, at The Savoy, 
is legendary. Taking place at the Thames 
Foyer, the central cupola allows natural 
daylight to flood the room, highlighting in 
the centre, a charming pianist playing in an 
equally delightful gazebo. Try the increasingly 
rare yellow tea (similar to green tea) while 
nibbling on four courses of an array of finger 
sandwiches, scones, French pastries and 
Savoy signature cakes. 
Morning 
No two rooms are alike at The Savoy with 
their interiors presenting a mix of Edwardian 
or Art Deco features. Wake up to an incredible 
view of the Thames, just as Monet, Churchill 
and Monroe did in the past. If you manage 
to prise yourself from under the exquisite bed 
linen, head up into the hotel’s well-appointed 
gym to work up a sweat in preparation for 
the breakfast to come. After rinsing under a 
gargantuan rain shower, head down into the 
Thames Foyer and gorge on traditional-with-a- 
twist breakfast options such as papaya with 
lime, followed by Bircher muesli topped with 
banana, blueberries or caramelised apple 
and cinnamon brioche French toast. People-watch 
and digest while sipping on white 
peony and rose tea from quaint, Edwardian-patterned 
crockery. 
Midday 
Be transported into heavenly bliss at the 
Savoy Spa. Wipe away the smog of the city 
by opting for the deep cleansing facial – a 
rejuvenating experience that uses freshwater 
mud masks, along with oils and massage. 
Afterwards, work up an appetite by doing 
laps in the pool. Situated under a stunning 
atrium, the water contains hardly any trace of 
chlorine (it’s purified by Kinetico systems) and 
will leave your skin nourished and soft. 
Dinner  Cocktails 
If you have room to spare, make your way 
to Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill, equipped 
with beautiful 1920s-inspired décor and 
a panoramic view of the river. With such 
a varied menu, Kaspar’s focuses on fish, 
cheese as well as more traditional “classy” 
cuisine such as sweet potato and goats 
cheese ravioli. Round off with the delectable 
chocolate fondant, accompanied by 
caramel ice cream and hazelnuts. For post-dinner 
cocktails, head to the Beaufort Bar. 
The bar stands on a former cabaret stage 
and is dramatically decorated in black 
and shimmering gold. While a jazz pianist 
enhances the atmosphere, sip away at the 
best cocktails in the world.

BOOKS: Magrudy’s 
THE EXTRAORDINARY 
JOURNEY OF THE 
FAKIR WHO GOT 
TRAPPED IN AN IKEA 
WARDROBE 
AUTHOR: Romain Puértolas 
PUBLISHER: Harvill Secker 
PRICE: AED 84 
This debut novel by French author Romain 
Puértolas is a number-one best-seller in 
France, has been translated into English 
and is currently being sold in close to 40 
countries… not bad for his first go. Following 
in the footsteps of Jonas Jonasson’s popular 
The One-Hundred-Year-Old Man Who 
Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, 
Puértolas’ novel is a hilarious adventure tale 
(sprinkled with smatterings of satire) in which 
a mischievous hero (an Indian con-artist 
named Ajatashatru Oghash) embarks upon a 
series of unbelievable escapades. Leaving his 
small village in India, he jets off for Paris on a 
pilgrimage to IKEA, where intends to obtain a 
brand new bed of nails. But, in no time at all, he 
accidently ends up on a European tour. It’s all 
very silly, and is a great read if you’re looking 
for some light-hearted comic relief, while its 
serious undertones add necessary depth. 
SILENCE YOUR MIND 
AUTHOR: Dr Ramesh 
Manocha 
PUBLISHER: Orion 
PRICE: AED 71 
The benefits of this book are twofold: if you’ve 
considered meditation, but are unsure about 
how to start, then this is for you; and if you’re 
already dabbling in it, then the techniques 
and solid information presented will only 
help to deepen your experience. Dr Manocha 
is a medical practitioner and researcher 
currently based at the Sydney Medical School, 
Sydney University, where he co-ordinates the 
Mediation Research Programme. In Silence 
Your Mind, he draws upon extensive new 
scientific research, fusing Western society’s 
concepts of creative flow and mindfulness with 
the ancient authentic Eastern idea of inner 
stillness. He promises that you can improve 
your happiness in just 10 minutes a day, 
should you follow his suggested approach: the 
concept of meditation called “mental silence”, 
which is practiced in Sahaja Yoga. Master this, 
and your world could change. 
JAMIE’S COMFORT 
FOOD 
AUTHOR: Jamie Oliver 
PUBLISHER: Michael Joseph, 
an imprint of Penguin Books 
PRICE: AED 195 
Jamie has been writing cookbooks for the 
last 15 years, but with this, his latest tome of 
delectable dishes, he set out to take cooks 
to the “next level”. “I’ve dedicated more 
space to the recipes and switched my usual 
editor filter off so I can really talk about all 
the slightly eccentric, geeky little details with 
extra rants and pops of information,” he says. 
It’s brimming with guilty pleasures, pick-me- 
ups and sweet indulgences, presenting 
everything from beans on toast to his 
close-to-perfection Insanity Burger, steaming 
ramen and katsu curry to sticky toffee 
pudding and tutti frutti pear tarte tati – all 
captured through exquisite photography. “I 
hope it helps you think about where you take 
a dish, how you cook and perfect it, so that 
every time you make and serve one of these 
scrumptious, comforting meals, there’s big old 
smiles around the table,” says Jamie.
YOUR WORLD // TRANSIT LOUNGE 
There’s no place like home 
MINUTES IN 
THE TRANSIT 
LOUNGE 
WITH SHANE 
WARNE 
FOR INTERNATIONAL JET-SETTER AND ETIHAD AIRWAYS BRAND AMBASSADOR SHANE WARNE, 
HIS HOMETOWN OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, IS STILL HIS FAVOURITE CITY. 
Where is home for you? 
I spend most of my time split between London 
and Melbourne, as well as many other stops 
in between. I’m Australian, so my heart will 
always be in Melbourne. It’s where I was born 
and raised. I’ve seen a lot of cities but can say 
that Melbourne is the best city in the world. 
What makes Melbourne such a great 
place to live and to visit? 
Melbourne always has something going on 
– a great energy about it with great people. 
Winters are cold but are not as harsh as in 
London, and our summers really are (just like 
the Aussie cliché) all about hanging out down 
at the beach with family, having a few beers 
and a barbecue. 
Tell us about some of the places in 
Melbourne that mean something to you. 
I love Brighton as that’s where I lived for a 
long time with my kids – it’s a great part of 
the city and it’s close to the beach. I also have 
good memories of summer holidays down 
at Portsea. 
Where would you take a visitor if you 
were showing them around? 
If we were in Melbourne, I would take them for 
26 
a walk along Brighton Beach, then for lunch 
at one of the amazing cafés like the Pantry, 
and then for a night out at Club23 at Crown. 
In London I couldn’t go past taking them to 
[Ciro’s] Pizza Pomodoro on a Sunday night 
– it has the best Italian food and an Elvis 
impersonator who will rock your socks off. 
Where else in the world is important to 
your career? 
The United Kingdom is a huge part of my life, 
particularly London as it’s where I am based 
and live. It’s a place that has been such a big 
part of my career – both for playing cricket, 
and now also for commentating. I’ve made a 
lot of great friends in London. Of course I also 
do a lot of travelling to South Africa and India, 
which are both great places to visit – and 
both have the most passionate cricket fans. 
What is the best trip you’ve ever been on? 
That would have to be the 1993 Ashes tour to 
the UK. We were an amazing group of guys; 
we had fun and won everything. 
Tell us the three things you always take 
with you when you travel. 
I’m lucky that Etihad provides me with most 
of what I need on the flights. But three things 
I always have with me are my laptop, my 
phone with my current music playlist, and 
usually a pen and paper so I can write down 
all my thoughts and things I need to do. 
What makes you feel at home when 
you travel? 
Being able to keep in contact with my family 
back home is so important. I’m pretty lucky 
these days with all the new gadgets and apps 
available that enable me to talk to or text my 
kids and family at any time. Etihad even has 
Wi-Fi that I can use when I’m thousands of 
feet in the air, which is pretty amazing. 
What’s the worst part of flying? 
The jet lag! Although I have it down to a fine 
art now and can pretty much fall asleep as 
soon as my head hits the pillow. 
What’s your routine when you get on 
board a flight? 
Generally, if it’s a night flight, I’ll get straight 
into the pyjamas and go to sleep! But 
on a morning flight or when I’m awake I 
love to make use of the in-flight movies 
and of course I’ll order myself some delicious 
food – the steak sandwich with chips wins 
every time.

The Emirate’s cultural heartland, Al Ain, is launching a new celebration 
– the National Traditional Handicrafts Festival, running from 23-29 
October. It will take place at the historic Souq Al Qattara; an old market 
once abandoned that was restored and re-opened in 2012. The festival 
aims to shed light on the importance of traditional craftsmanship in 
Emirati heritage and support craftsmen’s efforts to preserve, revive, 
and transfer their skills to future generations. The programme will 
include heritage competitions for visitors of all ages, including an 
Al Yola dance contest for children, a craftsmanship competition, 
preparation of traditional Emirati dishes and making Arabic coffee, 
in addition to dance and musical performances. There will also be a 
series of specialised workshops on the production and promotion of 
traditional handicrafts, which will outline the importance of handicrafts 
as part of the living heritage of the nation, intrinsic to modern life.

THE POWER OF LOVE 
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is celebrating 20 
years on stage, with its first-ever international 
tour. The musical fairy tale will be arriving in 
Abu Dhabi on 30 October with performances up 
until 8 November at the du Forum on Yas Island. 
Based on the 1991 Academy-Award winning 
animated feature film, Disney’s Beauty and the 
Beast is the classic story of Belle, a young woman 
in a provincial town, and the beast, who is really a 
young prince trapped by a spell placed upon him 
by an enchantress. If the beast can learn to love 
and be loved, the curse will end, but time is tight 
and if he doesn’t learn his lesson soon, he and 
his household will be doomed. Since licensing in 
2004, this enchanting tale has been performed in 
22 countries, seen by more than 35 million people, 
during a run of over 28,000 performances.

Sky-high delight 
STRATOS, A NEW REVOLVING LOUNGE AND GRILL CONCEPT AT LE ROYAL MERIDIEN ABU DHABI, IS UNIQUE TO THE CITY. 
TOWERING ABOVE THE UAE CAPITAL, IT SITS IN THE CLOUDS, OFFERING A WORLD OF 
Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani 
and executive head chef Justin Galea have 
something in common: matching collections 
of gilded, Art Deco-style crockery from 
Germany. While Armani keeps his at home, 
chef Justin uses his set to present culinary 
works of art at Stratos, Abu Dhabi’s latest 
hotspot in the sky. 
Set on the highest floor of Le Royal Meridien, 
this revolving restaurant takes more than two 
hours to rotate, allowing for plenty of time 
to take in panoramic views of downtown 
Abu Dhabi, the Corniche, Lulu Island and 
beyond. And whether it’s for afternoon tea, 
sunset cocktail hour or dinner, there’s the 
chance to catch sight of the UAE capital in 
a variety of light. 
But I’d suggest getting there after dark 
to experience it at its best. As the city’s 
skyscrapers begin to flicker, spot lamps are 
dimmed and candles are lit. Gold cushions 
on plush, high-backed seats shimmer, and 
bronze cutlery on reflective black tables 
sparkles. A black and white carpet with a 
diamond motif commands attention while 
framed quirky line-drawings of camels, owls 
and flamingos decorate the walls. The fit-out 
is Great Gatsby meets Alice in Wonderland, 
and this opulent and playful theme trickles 
down to chef Justin’s food. 
It’s hats off to this man and his chef de 
cuisine Grant Balinger, for delivering an 
imaginative menu and presenting their 
dishes with flair. The kitchen is open, and as I 
spin past it twice during dinner (yes, I stayed 
here that long), I chat to the cooks while 
they work. Created with seasonal produce 
and sourced from the finest global suppliers, 
they’re all about achieving the right balance 
of flavours. Nothing looking contrived. 
Snacks from the Lounge Selection include 
crispy fried king prawns scented with fresh 
curry and lemongrass sauce, and chicken 
fritters, which I dunk in chipotle mayonnaise. 
The former are fragrant and delicate, while the 
latter are addictive. And if fine dining did ever 
offer a take-away, these morsels of comforting 
goodness should be served in a bucket. 
An edible empire of mains will tempt all 
taste buds, and really it’s difficult to decide 
on what’s best. From caviar served in a 
24-carat-gold-plated egg, to parmesan 
gnocchi served with black truffle and 
parmesan foam, or the buttery west coast 
Scottish langoustines to the decadent lobster 
mac-and-cheese made with a rich Dunlop 
cheddar and a brioche crust, it’s a feast for 
the senses. Simple sides packed with flavour 
serve as perfect accompaniments. Order 
the uber-creamy Paris mash or spinach 
Rockefeller and don’t leave without trying 
the salad of baby spinach, red onion, tomato, 
olive and Roquefort. 
Can the desserts top all that? The answer 
is yes. And there are three that need to be 
tried. The spiced roasted pineapple with star 
anise syrup, eight spice and black truffle ice 
cream has an intriguing bite. Match it with 
one of the fine whiskies on offer and its 
smokey flavours will explode in your mouth. 
The chef’s Valrhona chocolate version of a 
Magnum ice-cream bar is simply delicious, 
but it’s the strawberry posset which, if I 
absolutely had to choose, would win my 
vote. Served with granola, meringue, lemon 
sorbet and 20-year-old balsamic vinegar, it’s 
a great take on this classic pud, which I think 
epitomises chef Justin’s style.

successfully travelled from one to the other is 
proof of its global appeal. 
In just four years, Mohammed Hassan 
Rahma (or Mo, as he prefers to be called) 
has gone from an artificial pool in the Abu 
Dhabi desert to chasing hurricane-driven 
swells in Mexico, and, at the end of this 
month, competing in the International Surfing 
Association World Surfing Games, which will be 
held in Punta Rocas, just south of Lima, Peru. 
Mo moved to Los Angeles in time for Etihad 
Airways’ launch there earlier this year – the 
27-year-old is a sales development manager 
for the airline – ostensibly for work, but also to 
continue his development into a world-class 
surfer. The move allowed him to significantly 
improve his surfing, and increase the amount 
of time he could spend in the water. At the right 
time of year, the UAE does enjoy surfing swells, 
but they are seasonal and unreliable. 
Alongside a stint in Australia, Mo’s time 
in California has seen him qualify for the 
Surfing Games. That is significant in its own 
regard but remarkable considering his path 
to get there. Not only has his rise in the sport 
been meteoric but, quite incredibly, this is the 
second sport at which he will participate in a 
40 
the sea, especially when it comes to reading 
the ocean. In that regard, he will always be 
playing catch-up with competitors who have 
spent most of their lives watching the horizon, 
preparing for the perfect wave. 
For Mo, the waves in Peru are likely to 
be the biggest he’s ever surfed. He plans 
to get to South America 10 days before the 
tournament, but is realistic about what he 
hopes to achieve. 
“My main goals are to represent my country 
and to increase exposure of surfing in the 
UAE. Putting that all together would be really 
good for me; putting the UAE on the surfing 
map… I hope that in three years’ time we’ll 
have five Emiratis competing in the event.” 
Above all, he takes enormous pride from 
being able to be the UAE’s flag-bearer. 
During the opening ceremony, each surfer will 
deposit a handful of sand from their home 
country – in that element at least, the Emirati 
expects to do well. “It’ll be the easiest part,” 
he laughs.

world championships. And whatever happens 
in Peru, it’s hard to imagine this time around 
being more of a disaster than the last. 
They say pride comes before a fall, but in 
Mo’s case it came immediately before an 
obliterated knee. He was competing in the 
2008 World Cup Rugby Sevens when he had 
the chance to score a try. Bearing down on 
the points, he decided to showboat a little, at 
which point his ACL, meniscus and knee bone 
imploded. The pain and rehabilitation process 
for such an injury would be enough to put 
most people off the idea of sport altogether. 
Yet, before medical professionals thought 
he was ready to do so, Mo found himself 
in the water and very quickly on a board. 
There followed a whirlwind of improvement, 
expedited by good coaches and meeting 
the right professionals. His current coach 
is Sean Mattison, whom Mo credits for his 
improved technique, fitness and results. “He 
makes me cry every day – if I don’t finish a 
manoeuvre that we’ve been practicing, I’m 
not allowed to come in,” he says over the 
phone from Los Angeles. 
The Emirati manages to squeeze in surfing 
before and after work most days, and is 
practicing as much as possible before the 
big event. But while he has clearly adapted to 
the sport at an almost unnatural rate, there 
is no substitute for the experience of being in

ABU ABU DHABI FILM FESTIVAL // ABU DHABI 
The Abu Dhabi Film Festival (ADFF) 
is growing up. Now in its eighth year, its 
programme is more varied, covers more 
nationalities, more subjects and a longer 
span of film history than ever before. More 
selections are submitted for consideration, 
audiences are bigger. 
As the ADFF has matured, so have its 
audiences. In 2013, some filmgoers were so 
affected by what they’d just seen that they 
approached the filmmaker afterwards with 
tears in their eyes, trembling while trying 
to explain their gratitude. “Since Ali Al Jabri 
became festival director, there has been a 
significant increase in the local audiences,” 
says director of programming, Teresa Cavina. 
The opening film of this year’s festival is 
a good indicator of just how far things have 
come. And it’s an Emirati film that will kick off 
the eight-day event. Dubai-based director Ali 
Mostafa’s From A to B tells the story of a group 
of friends taking a road-trip from Abu Dhabi to 
Beirut. The follow-up to Mostafa’s 2009 City of 
Life, its prominence within the programme is 
seen as a triumph of local film-making. “This is 
the first time we’ve opened with an Emirati film 
and we’re proud and happy to present it on 
opening night,” says festival director Ali Al Jabri. 
From A to B will be the highest-profile 
Emirati film shown, but it is far from being 
the only one. While there is still a shortage 
of native feature films, the short-film scene is 
booming. The festival programme has grown 
by 12 percent this year overall – a figure 
matched by the increase in submissions to 
the Emirati Film Competition. 
However, these days that title is something 
of a misnomer. “There has been a wealth 
of short films submitted,” says Cavina. “It’s 
called the EFC, but it’s actually open to all 
Khaleeji [Arabian Gulf] filmmakers. We have 
submissions from all GCC cultures.” 
The 2,032 entries included works by Kuwaiti 
and Bahraini artists, as well as the expected 
deluge of domestic pieces, with filmmakers free 
to tackle any subject they liked.

reviews footage; the 
red carpet at last year’s 
Abu Dhabi Film Festival. 
The opening film of this 
year’s festival is a good 
indicator of just how far 
things have come. For the 
first time, an Emirati film will 
kick off the eight-day event.
At the other end of the festival’s budgetary 
scale is Big Hero 6, which has been chosen 
to close the proceedings on 1 November. 
The first Disney film since 2013’s ludicrously 
successful Frozen (which had a budget of 
US$150 million and went on to take over $1.2 
billion globally), it marks their first cinematic 
union with Marvel. Set in a fictional future city, 
Big Hero 6 follows a young robotics prodigy 
and his portly android companion Baymax 
as they are forced to become amateur crime 
fighters. With two of the most powerful names 
in children’s entertainment attached, and a 
budget that most filmmakers can only dream 
of, it’s a huge movie – and surely the biggest 
film ever to come to ADFF? 
“Well we have to agree on the term ‘huge’,” 
says Cavina. “When we can also show our 
audience winners from the Berlin [Black 
Coal, Thin Ice, winner of the coveted Golden 
Bear] and Cannes festivals [The Salt of the 
44 
Earth, winner of Un Certain Regard special 
prize] and the Francois Truffaut films, it is 
maybe not so clear. But it’s true that there’s a 
synergy happening here in Abu Dhabi. I don’t 
think it’s by chance that we were selected not 
just because of the festival, but also because 
Abu Dhabi is becoming an important place 
for film.” Important enough for the Star Wars 
franchise, now also managed by Disney, 
to come to the emirate earlier this year to 
shoot part of the seventh movie in their 
cherished saga. 
However, for many, it’s the Francois Truffaut 
films that Cavina mentions which are perhaps 
the most significant at this year’s festival. One 
of the founding fathers of the French New 
Wave movement, Truffaut was enormously 
successful and influential through the 1960s 
and 1970s, winning Oscars, BAFTAs and 
festival prizes along the way. His films are not 
the most famous at the festival, and perhaps 
won’t be the most popular, but for Cavina and 
festival director Al Jabri, they represent a vital 
step in the evolution of the event. “It’s exciting 
that we can start to show homages (it’s not 
a retrospective) to filmmakers,” says Cavina. 
“Now we feel confident enough to show those 
films, knowing that there will be an audience 
for them. At the beginning of the festival that 
was not the case. The attention on non- 
Hollywood and Bollywood films was very low. 
Little by little we started to show other things 
– for example we showed Chaplin and people 
discovered that even silent movies were fun.” 
This year, filmgoers will be able to see an 
eclectic array of classics, from Rebel Without 
a Cause to Mary Poppins to A Fistful of 
Dollars. “We really feel we have killed two 
pigeons with one stone by showing one of 
the great film makers of cinema history, – 
Francois Truffaut – and films that are really

that are really eternal.” 
eternal,” says Cavina. “The audience will not 
feel as though they’re watching something 
that is 40 or 50 years old.” 
Over a thousand films were watched, 
whittled down to under 70 (not including 
the EFC entries) for the final schedule. 
Some of the selections will only be shown 
in Abu Dhabi, but may go on to have lives in 
cinemas around the world. Others have been 
brought in following their success elsewhere. 
ADFF representatives attend several festivals 
around the world to acquire new titles and 
to see if there is anything to be learned 
from the organisers of Toronto, Venice and 
Cannes. “From the beginning of the year we’re 
working hard to make our selections, to have 
meetings – a lot of things happen for the 
festival,” says Al Jabri. “We’re always trying to 
get exciting films from all over the world.”

THE PHOENIX 
FROM THE WAVES 
TEN YEARS ON FROM THE DEVASTATING TSUNAMI, PHUKET HAS NEVER BEEN BUSIER – OR 
MORE READY TO HOST GUESTS SEEKING LUXURY.

COVER STORY // PHUKET 
No one can accuse Phuket’s rainy 
season of false advertising. Predominantly 
running from July to the end of October, 
it is characterised by alternate periods of 
explosive showers and sudden sun, the sky 
rendered schizophrenic by the season. Yet, 
while it might not feel like it if you’re caught 
in a downpour, all that water is essential for 
making the island, and wider Thailand, such 
a green and fertile place – there are times on 
Phuket when it feels as though you can see 
the jungle growing. 
When I visit during the rainy period, I’m 
concerned that the weather might leave 
me with nothing to do. Or perhaps not 
nothing – like Indonesia’s Bali or Spain’s 
Ibiza, Phuket’s name is synonymous with 
hedonistic holidaymakers, but as on those 
two far-flung cousins, they tend to stay in a 
very small part of the island. People didn’t 
first arrive because they were looking for a 
party – they came because the island and 
waters around are beautiful. Later, they 
realised that nothing is very far from the 
international airport and that, outside of the 
rainy season, the weather is reliable and the 
diving is world class. 
For Phuket’s part, its wild side is largely 
contained within Patong, where backpackers 
and thrill-seekers arrive year-round in search 
of fun. It is bypassed by locals and discerning 
holidaymakers alike. However, it is absolutely 
not a reason to avoid Phuket altogether, an 
island in flux and which has enjoyed a steady 
rise in a number of high-end luxury properties 
around the island. 
The newest of these is the already serene 
Point Yamu by COMO, a barely finished 
property that hangs over the end of a 
peninsula like a thimble on a finger. It’s an 
unusual place for a number of reasons. 
Firstly, unlike the majority of Phuket’s 
resorts, it’s on the east side of the island, 
facing into the dramatic Phang Nga Bay. 
Awake early enough and you can see the 
sun rise between islands that look like 
plates along a stegosaur’s spine, reflected 
by a vast mirror created by the stillness of 
the water. 
The resort is also unusual in that it doesn’t 
have a beach. To me this is great news – 
there’s no temptation to get covered in sand, 
then traipse it through the hotel and into my 
room. Guests who insist on that kind of thing 
can take the hotel’s small boat over to Rang 
Yai island, where there’s a private beach and 
48 
the chance to pretend you’ve been stranded 
on a desert island, at least for an hour or two. 
Feeling superbly slothful, I instead decide 
that the most active I want to be is to take the 
elevator to a treatment room. The COMO brand 
has made its name by offering sensational 
treatments across its nine properties and, 
despite the newness of this particular haven, 
the standards have not been allowed to slip. 
Time passes strangely when you’re getting the 
right massage – slowing down and speeding 
up, things becoming at once intense and 
dreamlike. When I’m told the treatment has 
finished, I have to be nudged awake. The 
howling madness of Patong seems like a far-off 
impossibility. 
Outside of its superb Nahmyaa restaurant 
and atmospheric lobby, much of Point Yamu 
by COMO doesn’t feel especially Thai – it is 
sleek and it is pretty and it has a location 
than can hardly be bettered, but local it is 
not. Perhaps that’s part of a push for ultra-modernity 
and perhaps that’s why Amanpuri, 
on the other side of the island, looks so 
very different. 
Built in 1988, like its nominal rival Amanpuri 
is out of the ordinary. The COMO brand and 
several others have come late to the Phuket 
party, but Aman Resorts saw something here 
before anyone else.

The brand now has properties in 19 
countries, but this is their flagship. If you have 
enjoyed an Aman hotel in another part of 
the world, it is at least in part because the 
Phuket formula has proved so successful. With 
pavilions, pagodas and scaly, Smaugian roofs, 
everything about Amanpuri feels very Thai. 
The food, the staff, the brilliant massages, all 
of it is local, very much in sync with itself and 
its surroundings – thus the benefit of two and 
a half decades of experience. 
For most of that time, Tong has worked on 
site. Originally from Bangkok, he started here 
in 1995 and today, at 50 years old, he is proud 
to call himself sports and recreation manager. 
Tong is softly spoken, and not just because 
we are talking in the hotel’s surprisingly well-stocked 
50 
library. I don’t think the whisper-quiet 
of his brogue is to do with our topic of 
conversation, either, although I’d understand 
if it was. 
On Boxing Day 2004, halfway through 
Tong’s time at Amanpuri, everything changed 
– for him, for Phuket, for all of South East Asia. 
To understand the number of people who

died in the tsunami that day, the Great East 
Japan Earthquake of 2011 is not a suitable 
comparison. The 230,000 estimated dead are 
more comparable in number to the victims of 
the joint nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and 
Nagasaki at the end of World War Two. 
Despite its proximity to the megathrust 
quake, which occurred just off the coast of 
Indonesia, Thailand suffered fairly few losses; 
the 5,000-plus deaths were not insignificant, 
but compared to other countries, it was 
comparatively spared. Still, Phuket was 
among the islands affected by the tsunami. 
Tong will never forget it – not least because 
he was working on the beach during that 
fateful morning. 
The great Japanese woodblock artist 
Hokusai’s work The Great Wave off Kanagawa 
is an image most people believe accurately 
depicts a tsunami: a towering, terrible thing 
that seems to be constantly on the verge of 
breaking as it surges forth. It looks theatrical 
– perhaps even surfable. In reality a tsunami is 
a pulsating collection of waves, which pushes 
forward until it runs out of energy or, just as 
likely, makes landfall. But before all the water 
arrives, it is preceded by a strange void, a 
disappearance of seawater. In 2004, no one 
locally knew this. 
“I was on the beach because the gym 
used to be down there,” says Tong as I 
strain to listen to him. “The sea started going 
down. It was something strange – we’d 
never seen it before, suddenly it was dry 
and going out. We knew there had been 
an earthquake in Sumatra in the night, but 
we didn’t know what the effect would be…” 
Around 50 metres of water disappeared, 
sucked out so quickly that fish were left 
flipping and flapping on the exposed sea bed. 
For some of the local fishermen, this was a 
dream come true – they ran forward to collect 
what they thought was the easiest catch of 
their lives. 
It was mid-morning in Phuket and even 
though it was the high, dry season, none of 
the hotel’s guests had yet made it to the gym. 
It was just Tong and an Australian trainee 
watching the demented fishermen chase fish 
around the sand. 
“Ten minutes later, the water started 
coming back. The first one came like a high 
tide, so quick, so we started pulling back the 
sun loungers. But when the second one came, 
we knew something was wrong,” says Tong. 
It was the Australian trainee who declared it 
a tsunami and when they saw the third wave 
approach, everyone fled for their lives. 
Despite its coastal location, Amanpuri 
coped with the disaster admirably. The gym 
was lost and its beach ravaged, but the 
property is built above a cliff face and then 
up a hill, like a sea fort. As a result, the 
damage was minimal and no lives were lost. 
Further up the coast, particularly in Khao Lak, 
people were not so fortunate. As soon as 
they could, Amanpuri sent staff to help with 
the relief effort.

Located just outside the Point Yamu by 
the COMO property, Breeze is generally 
acknowledged as the best independent 
restaurant on Phuket. Led by French- 
Canadian chef Cheryl Johnson, it features 
Thai-inspired dishes on a menu that 
changes more frequently than the sky in 
rainy season. Their Sunday brunches have 
earned especially glittering reputations, but 
it’s wise to book in advance.

FOR EXPLORING: PHUKET TOWN 
If you don’t mind a bit of traffic, then it’s 
worth taking a trip into Phuket Town in 
the south east of the island. It’s far from 
gentrified yet, but is developing all the time, 
with increasing numbers of trendy cafés 
and small galleries found among some 
fantastic Sino-Portuguese architecture. With 
many public beaches being cleaned up by 
the government, perhaps Phuket Town will 
become the island’s new hot spot.

For all the devastation wrought upon the 
island, the recovery has been astonishing. 
There are a now a number of early-warning 
systems and escape routes in place around 
the island – it was a tough lesson, and it 
seems strange to me that it took until 2004 
for people to learn it, but visitors rightly have 
no fears about a similar event happening 
again. Now, a decade later, Phuket has never 
been busier – high end and otherwise, there

DINING IN WORKING PRISONS IS THE LATEST FOODIE FAD TO HIT LONDON – BUT HERE’S WHY IT’S MORE 
THAN JUST AN ARRESTING LUNCH. 
WORDS DAVID PARRY 
Just 200 yards off the bustling Brixton 
Hill street is a restaurant with a difference. A 
real difference. It serves breakfast and lunch 
like plenty of the trendy outlets in the nearby 
Brixton Village, awarded the accolade of best 
market in the whole UK for its hipster appeal. 
But this 120-cover restaurant, some would 
argue, is in one of the least desirable places 
to dine in the country. It’s located beyond the 
thick-steel doors of Her Majesty’s Prison Brixton 
– from the outside a mesh of barbed wire and 
security cameras. It’s all rather intimidating. 
The notion that criminals and convicts 
serve up gourmet fare and are entrusted 
with sharp knives and pointy cooking utensils 
is not as fanciful as it seems – all of HMP 
Brixton’s successful prisoner applicants who 
make it past the rigorous interview stage 
relish the opportunity to cook for paying 
diners. It not only helps alleviate the boredom 
of mundane cell life, but is part of a larger 
five-step model (recruit, train, audit, employ, 
mentor) to reduce overall reoffending rates: 
indeed, the news of the prisoners’ capacity 
to learn and share their skills is starting to 
spread well beyond the confines of the 
prison walls. 
The restaurant project, or The Clink 
Charity as it’s officially known, is becoming 
championed thanks to an increase in 
openings – the HMP Brixton restaurant 
follows the successful launch of others at 
prisons in Cardiff in Wales and one at High 
Down, Surrey. 
More prison restaurants are in the pipeline, 
too, and it’s evident that the idea is engaging 
the greater British public with the welfare of 
prisoners in a way that’s never been done 
before. So how has it become such a success? 
“We’ve had 12,000 visitors so far,” says Chris 
Moore, chief executive of The Clink Charity 
behind the restaurant. “That’s 1,000 people a 
month – a real cross-section of society. So I 
like to think that we’re changing the public’s 
perception of what life in a prison is like, and 
we’re helping out the hospitality industry. It 
operates just like a normal restaurant, really – 
you just can’t sneak out for a cigarette break.” 
Given that dining at HMP Brixton requires 
an in-depth security assessment before any 
reservation is granted, it can also prove to be 
a complicated visit. 
Basic entry includes the following: all 
visitors must book at least 72 hours in 
advance of arrival and be aged 18 or over 
(which deters any walk-in customers, the 
bane of London’s no-reservation dining trend). 
Mobile phones or SIM Cards are not allowed in 
to the prison at any time. You may be required 
to undergo a biometric evaluation, which 
includes your fingerprints and photograph 
being taken. Diners may also be subject to 
routine searching. Then, before the booking 
can be confirmed, this is written in big scary 
red letters: “Please ensure you have read and 
understood the security procedures outlined 
above as it is a criminal offence if you do not 
comply.” All of which means that – once you 
get past the portcullis and menacingly thick 
steel door – you can be happily guaranteed a 
table on a busy lunchtime.

I like to think that we’re changing the public’s 
perception of what life in a prison is like, and we’re 
helping out the hospitality industry.
GOURMET // THE CLINK 
What makes The Clink restaurant such 
an empowering concept – and like a badge 
of honour for anyone that has visited – is 
it genuinely seems to be working. Upon 
their release, graduates are helped to 
find employment within the catering and 
hospitality industry, and mentors them weekly 
for six to 12 months to help them reintegrate 
into society without reoffending. 
“The prisoners work 40 hours a week, eight 
hours a day and learn more than just how to 
work in a professional kitchen,” adds Chris. 
“They learn teamwork, motivation, social skills 
– and some of these prisoners have never 
had a job, at least not a legal one.” 
On top of this, each training session is 
meticulous (the knives and sharper kitchen 
implements are locked away and need to 
be signed in and out every time they’re used 
to trim a carrot) and each dish is carefully 
constructed. Each kitchen assistant or pastry 
chef has a genuine opportunity to continue 
their career within the hospitality industry 
after they serve their custodial sentence – 
and the statistics for reoffenders are startling. 
Currently in the UK, 47 percent of ex-offenders 
54 
reoffend within one year of release, 
rising to 75 percent among those who do not 
find work within five years. In 2011, however, the 
reoffending rate of The Clink’s graduates was 
12.5 percent, according to their own statistics 
— and many more found work in restaurants, 
including Carluccio’s, Prezzo, Wahaca and 
Locanda Locatelli – four of the UK’s most 
well-regarded restaurant chains.. 
So successful is the charity that the fourth 
restaurant is now soon to open at HMP Styal, 
near Manchester, early next year. It’ll be the 
first in a female prison, and by 2017, The Clink 
Charity plans to have 10 training projects 
across the UK, mentoring upwards of 500 
prisoners a year. There are also now two Clink 
Gardens, where prisoners farm fruit, vegetables 
and herbs to supply the restaurants, plus they 
have recently invested in livestock, including 
some 50 chickens. 
“This is all part of the bigger picture,” says 
Chris. “When you come out of prison you 
need to have a tough skin. It’s difficult to find 
work, to get a mortgage, to pay bills. Society 
is against you and that’s why so many former 
prisoners reoffend. That’s where The Clink is 
starting to really make a difference.” 
As for the restaurant itself, for the casual 
diner, that’s an eye-opener, too. The slate 
walls could be straight out of Mayfair’s finest 
five-star hotels and the banquet seating and 
tables – indeed everything, including the 
lighting – couldn’t be further from the rest of 
prison life, despite the fact that they’ve been 
handcrafted in prison workshops throughout 
the country. 
And the food? The menu reads like it 
should belong at a far more expensive 
Michelin-starred outpost in Soho. For a main 
course you can choose pan-seared cod loin 
with pea crust, confit potatoes, pancetta, 
samphire and lemon and caper dressing, or 
thyme roast guinea fowl with celeriac rosti 
and chargrilled vegetables. 
Dessert could be chocolate and chilli tart 
with lime-infused crème fraîche – or a variety 
of ice creams, all of which are made fresh on-site, 
every morning. 
“We’ve been visited by the Michelin team,” 
concludes Chris, proudly. “But as we’re not 
open to the public in the traditional sense as a 
walk-in, walk-out restaurant, we’re not eligible 
– though they did say they loved the place.” 
Breakfast: Monday to Friday 7.15am – 9.15am. 
Lunch: Monday to Friday 12noon  12.30pm. 
Reservations and pre-screening security 
checks are compulsory.

It not only helps alleviate the boredom of mundane cell life, but is part of a larger 
five-step model (recruit, train, audit, employ, mentor) to reduce overall reoffending 
rates: indeed, the news of the inmates’ capacity to learn and share their skills is 
starting to spread well beyond the confines of the prison walls.

TO THE MAX 
HOLLAND’S MAX VERSTAPPEN IS SET TO BECOME THE 
YOUNGEST-EVER F1 DRIVER NEXT SEASON AT JUST 17 
YEARS OLD. WE ASSESS THE PRECOCIOUS TALENT. 
WORDS STEWART BELL 
Formula One is a young man’s sport. 
To race a modern-day F1 car at its 
limit requires a level of skill, fitness and 
commitment that only fades with age – 
and the complexity of the current cars only 
compounds that. 
But how young is too young? Enter Dutch 
driver Max Verstappen, who has just been 
signed for an F1 race drive with Red Bull sister 
team Scuderia Toro Rosso for next season. By 
the time you read this, he will have turned 17. 
To give you some perspective, the current 
record holder for the youngest-ever driver to 
take an F1 Grand Prix race start is Spaniard 
Jaime Alguersuari – who made his debut at 
the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix aged 19 years, 
125 days, and lasted just two full seasons until 
the end of 2011. 
Verstappen, though, has the right heritage – and the results 
to date. His father is none other than former F1 journeyman 
Jos “The Boss” Verstappen – who drove in 106 Grands Prix 
for a variety of teams including Benetton, Simtek, Footwork, 
Tyrell, Stewart, Arrows and Minardi. His mother Sophie is also 
an accomplished kart racer, with his grandfather on that side, 
Paul Kumpen, a Belgian national rallycross champion too. 
So the kid has racing flowing through his veins – and, much 
like the majority of his fellow racers, jumped into the seat at 
a very early age via karting. “Ever since I was seven years old, 
Formula One has been my career goal, so this opportunity is 
truly a dream come true,” Verstappen says. 
However, most importantly, the results to date reflect his 
considerable talent – with karting’s top prize, the 2013 World 
Karting Championship, pole position and victory at this year’s 
prestigious Formula 3 Masters, and eight wins (so far) in the 
ultra-competitive Formula 3 European Championship. 
And by the time you read this, we will know if he was good 
enough to overhaul the points gap to Frenchman Esteban 
Ocon, and take the title… 
“In the end, it’s in karting that you learn the most – [things] like 
racecraft, so I think that’s what you need to do before you step 
into cars,” Verstappen says. “The FIA F3 [European] Championship 
has been difficult, given it’s my first year. And there are a lot of 
good drivers in it, ones who have been in it for four or five years 
already. But I think we’ve had some really strong results.” 
Regardless, Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost is 
convinced of his protégé’s 
potential – and has no 
qualms about his jump 
straight to the pinnacle of 
international motorsport. 
“We are happy to welcome 
Max into the Toro Rosso 
family,” says Tost. “We 
consider Max as one of the 
most skilled young drivers of 
the new generation and we 
believe he has the necessary

think it’s not as complicated as it looks. I think 
that any driver can come to F1, adapt, and 
get up to speed. I think everybody is coming 
to Formula One for some reason – because 
he has talent, and he has been successful 
somewhere. There is always a reason, but 
then there are many different things that 
make the difference, so it’s as simple as that.” 
Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo – who 
has taken three victories this year at top 
team Red Bull Racing – knows the strength 
of the driver development programme that 
Red Bull has put Verstappen on ahead of his 
debut next year. 
“Definitely the Red Bull Junior Team and 
the programme for me worked a treat; helped 
me get to where I am,” Ricciardo says. “It’s 
good they’re now helping out Max. Obviously 
the age is the question mark but the talent 
is there. It’s going to be interesting but, yeah, 
it’s good.” 
The learning curve, naturally, will be very 
steep – if not vertical. “First of all, I think it’s 
great that teams are still interested in the 
talent of the driver and not the money,” says 
Williams’ driver Felipe Massa. “[However], 17 
is a little bit young! For sure, we need to wait 
and see how he’s going to perform in his first 
year. I think the most important thing is that 
he has the talent. 
“I hope he can be clever as well. There’s a 
lot to learn and I hope that he’s quick enough 
to learn and be consistent in Formula One, 
and that he can stay, not just for one or 
two years.” 
It’s a sentiment shared by Lotus F1 Team’s 
Romain Grosjean, who only last year really 
came of age – shedding himself of his fast, 
but erratic reputation. 
“It’s a wonderful opportunity that he 
has and it’s something quite special to 
come to Formula One,” Grosjean says. “As 
everyone says, he has shown great talent 
early in his career but he will have a lot 
of homework to do to learn everything 
about racing in higher categories – [and 
to understand] tyre degradation, speed, a lot 
of things.” 
Grosjean should know – he had to grow up 
very fast in F1. His lowest moment came two 
years ago at the Belgian Grand Prix, during his 
first full season, when he was handed a one-race 
ban for his part in causing the multi-car 
pile-up on lap one. 
It was just part of a series of accidents for 
which now-ex-F1 driver Mark Webber labeled 
him a “first-lap nutcase”. 
For now, Verstappen will prepare for his F1 
debut next year by taking part in a number 
of Friday first-practice sessions at Grands Prix 
– with Abu Dhabi on the cards. And it’s there 
that we’ll see exactly how quick he is. 
“We’ve all worked tremendously hard to 
reach F1 and I will give my absolute best to 
be successful in the pinnacle of motorsport,” 
he says. 
It’s a sink-or-swim moment for the 
Dutchman set to become the youngest-ever 
F1 driver. Ready or not, it’s time for his 
ultimate test.

maturity and mental strength to take on this 
challenge successfully. This year [in European 
F3] he has already demonstrated how well 
he can cope under difficult conditions [on-track]. 
For example, at the Norisring [in June] 
and Nürburgring [in August], he showed 
extraordinary determination, and the ability 
to withstand pressure before going on to win. 
Bearing in mind that Scuderia Toro Rosso 
was created with the aim of bringing young 
talent from the Red Bull Junior Team into F1 
and to educate them. It will now be up to us to 
provide Max with a competitive car, which will 
enable him to have the best possible start to 
his Formula One career.” 
So Verstappen has the heritage, results 
and backing from Toro Rosso – but will he be 
talented and mature enough to jump straight 
from F3 to F1? 
It’s a giant leap of faith, dodging a chance 
to prove yourself in a higher class like Formula 
Renault 3.5 or GP2, before opening up to the 
white-hot intensity of F1. The only option is for 
Verstappen to get in and deliver. “There is a lot 
more [media attention] than you get in F3, of 
course. But it is part of F1, so you have to get 
used to it,” says Verstappen. “A racing car is a 
racing car, so I think the step from F3 to F1, 
driving-wise, is not that big. It’s just everything 
around it. But I’m in a good situation here with 
Toro Rosso to support me in that.” 
His team-mate next year will be 20-year-old 
Russian hot shot Daniil Kvyat, who has 
already played-down the age issue: “I think 
we will see how it is going to be,” says Kvyat. “I

Purple scatters, chased by a Prussian 
blue. Clouds glow orange, like the dying 
embers of a fire given late respite by a 
generous breath. A camel raises its head, 
squinting towards promised warmth, as 
Venus silently heralds the coming drama. 
Rays of light squeeze between peak and 
col, spilling into the empty valley. Around the 
camp, eyes dart from the light to its target on 
the ridge. 
The sun crests the hill, its light a shock, in 
spite of the anticipation. All eyes look left as 
the light reaches its target: the serried ranks of 
ancient Pyramids. Stones carved with stories 
of an ancient world reveal their secrets in the 
light of a new day. 
This might sound like an archaeological 
expedition in 19th century Egypt, but this 
is the modern day, 2,000km south of Giza, 
near Shendi in Sudan. Sudanese classical 
civilisation rose to prominence nearly 3,000 
years ago, when the Nubian King Kashat 
invaded Egypt. One hundred years later they 
returned to Sudan and consolidated their 
power around Meroë, bringing with them 
Egyptian customs, such as the use of Pyramids 
as burial tombs for kings and queens. 
This collection of monuments is just one 
of the striking sights I find in this rarely visited 
land. While not a top destination on tourist 
hit lists, Sudan is the most rewarding country 
that I’ve visited in recent years. And it was 
only through the adventures of a friend that I 
ended up here at all. 
Levison Wood, 32, is a British explorer with a 
unique ambition: to walk the entire length of 
the River Nile. The river that cradled civilisation 
spills into the Mediterranean at Alexandria 
in Egypt. Lev has walked from the source, 
in Rwanda’s Highlands, crossing Tanzania, 
Uganda and South Sudan, until I meet him 
here, at Shendi. 
The river is known as the White Nile until 
Khartoum, where it meets the Blue Nile from 
Ethiopia and flows North to the Mediterranean. 
Lev chose to walk the White Nile because it is 
more than twice as long as the Blue and, while 
both sections have been travelled by wing, 
wheel, and boat, it is the passion to move on 
foot that sets his journey apart. 
“The Nile is the birthplace of modern man,” 
he explains, “It was not far from this river that 
mankind first struck out across the savannah, 
and its shores were the melting pot of ancient 
civilisations. Man was made to walk, and there 
is no better way to understand this part of

the world than by the mode of transport that 
uniquely describes our species.” 
“In walking, you experience a country in 
a way that no fleeting tourist ever could,” 
he adds. “Rather than dashing from airport 
to resort, or from hotel to highlight, you 
encounter places at a pace that suits the 
human experience. You meet people you 
never otherwise would, encountering the real 
country, rather than a touristic veneer.” 
Our time at the pyramids is just such 
an experience. After walking through the 
afternoon, we arrive a few hours before sunset. 
An elderly shepherd bids us welcome, before 
offering us tea and water. We are the only 
people here. Picture-perfect orange dunes 
roll up to pyramids, filling the entrances with 
sand. We brush it away to reveal hieroglyphics, 
telling the story of each king or queen. There 
is a line, above which the wind has eroded the 
exposed carvings, and we carefully replace 
the sand to help preserve the images. Previous 
visitors have not been so considerate: in 1834 
an Italian treasure hunter by the name of 
Giuseppe Ferlini literally blew the tops off the 
Pyramids while searching for gold. 
As the sun edges inexorably towards 
the horizon, we make our camp in a valley 
between the northern and southern Pyramid 
groups. Our Bedouin camel-handlers brew 
sweet chai on a fire of charcoal and twigs, 
then cook-up a basic, but delicious, dinner of 
beans, fried onions and tomatoes, which we 
mop up with bread. 
The stars in the night sky are bright enough 
to trace the outline of broken pyramids. I 
can’t believe we’ve been wandering around 
monuments that date back to 720BC, 
uncovering hieroglyphs like Indiana Jones, 
and now lying down to sleep next to them. 
If this were anywhere else in the world, we’d 
be lost in a sea of photo-snapping day-trippers 
and haranguing trinket-merchants. 
Instead we feel like genuine explorers. The 
next morning we rise before dawn for that 
magical sunrise, pack up our belongings and 
head north. 
“Travelling on foot creates a detachment 
from materialism,” says Lev, “Sure, I have 
camels to carry provisions and kit, but I need 
less than you think. Actually, it becomes easier 
the less that I have – as well as being lighter

to carry and quicker to pack up, less physical 
clutter makes for a clearer mind.” Which is 
important when you’re on a journey of 7,000 
kilometres, making daily decisions about 
routes and logistics. 
As we cover the ground between Meroë 
and Atbara, we pause at a truck stop for sweet 
chai and a lunch of foul [a saucy bean dish] 
and bread. Lev has ditched the expedition 
shirt and pants that he wore in Sub-Saharan 
Africa. Here he wears the jellabiya: a cotton 
shirt and pair of trousers traditionally worn by 
Arab tribes along Sudan’s Nile valley. 
“Not only is it more comfortable for the heat, 
but it helps when interacting with people, as it 
puts up less of a barrier. People appreciate 
the fact that I’ve decided to wear their local 
dress. It’s a point of conversation that breaks 
the ice.” 
Lev is accompanied on this part of the 
journey by Moez, a Sudanese guide of 
Nubian descent, whose local knowledge and 
command of Arabic “makes life far easier than 
rummaging through a phrase book.” 
Then there’s the camels: Gordon, Speke 
and Burton. They carry Lev’s kit and provisions 
for the wilderness between towns and villages. 
They’re certainly not pets: approaching

Speke elicits a throaty roar, accompanied 
by a scent that I don’t wish to re-encounter. 
To handle the camels, and ensure they are 
fed, watered and cared for, two Bedouin 
nomads have joined the expedition: Awad 
and Ahamad are in their 60s (neither is sure 
of their exact age) and have been looking 
after camels all their lives. Their antics are like 
a comedy double-act. 
It reaches 40C during the hottest part of 
the day and we stop at cafés from midday 
till 2pm to rest the camels and ourselves. 
People enquire where we come from, 
delighted to welcome visitors to their country. 
The generosity is unlike anything I’ve ever 
encountered: cars pull over and offer us lifts, 
or even to pay for bus tickets. The drivers 
shake their heads and smile when we explain 
our objective. As we rise to pay for coffee, 
the waitress tells us the man in the corner 
has paid for it. We haven’t even spoken to 
him, and turn to say thanks. But he’s already 
climbing into his truck, and doesn’t look back 
to seek gratitude. 
62 
On the seventh day we arrive in Atbara, 
which is known as the “Railway City” due to 
the vast workshops built here in the British 
era, and which continue to provide most 
employment in the area. It is also where the 
Atbara, the Nile’s final tributary, flows into the 
great river. 
We wander the streets on Lev’s weekly rest 
day, which he takes to prevent injury. While 
sitting at a café we chat to another friendly 
local. In broken English he ascertains that we 
want to see a side of Sudan that the world 
doesn’t know. He becomes animated and 
tells us about a Sufi festival in two days, in 
the town of Kadabas. We get out the map. It’s 
40km. We should be able to make it. 
Just 48 hours later, we are picking our way 
through the streets of a town on the Nile’s 
West bank. Mud-walled compounds line the 
streets, and donkeys chew absent-mindedly 
on tufts of grass. In the distance we can 
hear the faint echo of the call to prayer. On 
the horizon we spot a mosque and minaret, 
brightly lit in green. 
Suddenly we are in a mass of people on 
their way to evening prayers, and are swept 
along by welcomes and greetings. We visit 
the local sheikh, an Anglophile who studied 
in Birmingham in the 1970s. He formally 
welcomes us to Kadabas, and we share a 
meal with him. As evening prayers finish, 
drumbeats and singing filter out from the 
mosque, and the sheikh suggests we have 
a look. 
Groups of men gather in animated 
conversation all over the prayer square. From 
time to time, a current of energy passes 
through the crowd as incense is waved by a 
censer-bearer, and everyone pushes closer to 
breathe in the smoke. 
Sufism is a branch of Islam characterised 
by Dhikr – the practice of repeating the 
names of God, often performed after prayers 
and usually accompanied by drums or 
instrumental music. Tonight we see it all 
around us. A drummer and singer start the 
process, and the numbers grow until a crowd 
of up to 50 or even 100 surrounds them. It’s

done in a form of call-and response, with 
the singer singing a verse, and the crowd 
responding, sometimes with the whole verse, 
sometimes with just a line or two. 
Over 10,000 Sufis from all across Sudan 
have come together for this event – which 
is to remember the Prophet Mohammed’s 
(PBUH) ascent to heaven – and every single 
one of them is fed. 
We are shown the food preparation area, 
where a veritable army of chefs butcher meat, 
stir vats of foul big enough to swim in, and brew 
chai in a comically large teapot. Everything 
is placed in bowls that are passed along a 
human chain, before disappearing over a 
serving hatch and into the waiting throng. 
The temptation to explore every nook and 
cranny of this celebration is strong, but we 
are on the road tomorrow, and need at least 
a few hours’ sleep. The first suggestions of 
light are teasing the eastern horizon, but the 
singing and dancing continue as we make 
our way back to the campsite. 
The next morning, as we set out towards 
Berber, Lev reflects on the previous night’s

As I head home, leaving Lev to continue on 
his journey, I wonder what other extraordinary 
experiences he’ll have over the next 2,500km.

the most inspiring adventures of the modern

kid? The 25m one? Well if you put that blue 
whale in there, its tail would hang out by another 
five metres, like a tall man in too short a coffin. 
And the North Atlantic right whale? Well… Well I 
can’t actually tell you much about that because 
humans have so mercilessly hunted them that 
just 500 or so remain. 
One of three subspecies of right whale, they 
earned their moniker during the inglorious 
days of mass American whaling in the 18th 
and 19th centuries. They were the “right” whales 
because they swam slowly and close to shore, 
64 
came up for air regularly, had an unfortunate 
habit of being naturally curious, and floated 
when dead, allowing them to be easily towed 
to harbour or casually butchered on board. 
Now, if you were to wander the world, you 
would be four times more likely to bump into 
a giant panda than a North Atlantic right 
whale. Which is to say: they are exceptionally 
endangered, and that is our fault. 
Fortunately, other species of whale have 
proved more robust, even though they too 
were hunted by man. Take the humpback, as 
many as 200,000 of which were thought to 
have been taken during the 20th century. It’s 
hard to grasp that number too – that amount 
of meat and bone – but knowing how widely 
they were persecuted makes their being so 
easy to spot today all the more remarkable. 
Along with perhaps 50 other wide-eyed 
tourists, I spend a morning on board a Dolphin 
Fleet whale-watching ship just off the coast 
of Cape Cod, one of those salty New England 
destinations whose name conjures the roar of 
the ocean and the cry of a gull. Not far from 
the boat, four humpback whales are hunting 
herring using a technique known as bubble-netting. 
Working as a team, they swim below 
great shoals of fish, steadily releasing streams 
of air to confuse and ensnare their prey. Then 
they rush up from the depths, swallowing the 
herring in colossal gulps. It’s a thrilling thing 
to witness, especially as the first bubbles of 
their trap hit the surface just before their vast, 
yawning mouths. The crowd oohs and aahs. 
No one is on the side of the doomed herring. 
To witness this behaviour, and more 
generally to see a whale in person and to 
feel your own smallness next to it, stirs up a 
strange kind of melancholy. Why did we want 
to stab at these behemoths? Why would we 
choose to destroy something so magnificent? 
It seems to be, as the author of Moby Dick, 
Herman Melville, wrote, “part of the universal 
problem of all things.” 
Melville’s white whale has come to 
symbolise many things to many people – the 
perfect novel, a great love, almost anything 
overwhelming and profound and capable of

NEW ENGLAND WHALING // CULTURE 
The hundreds of lighthouses that can still be found up and 
down the New England coastline ran on whale oil too, the 
keeper having to top-up the lamps every 12 hours.

destroying us. To his lunatic Captain Ahab, of 
course, Moby Dick was the target of insane 
revenge, the sperm whale having “razed” 
his leg on a previous voyage: “All that most 
maddens and torments; all that stirs up the 
lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all 
that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; 
all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; 
all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, 
and made practically assailable in Moby Dick.” 
Though Melville, himself a former whaler, 
understood the trade better than most, it’s 
unlikely many New England sailors were 
motivated by hatred of their quarry. More 
likely they were simply in it for the money – 
and there was a lot of money to be made. 
Americans were whaling before the States 
were united; it was the first global trade in 
which they were leaders. It was so important to 
the island of Nantucket that in the build-up to 
the American Revolutionary War, whalers tried 
to stay out of the conflict, so as not to interfere 
with their profits. Even now along the coasts 
of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts 
and Maine, many of the grandest houses once 
belonged to captains who’d become fabulously 
rich and fat through whale oil. “Go and gaze 
upon the iron emblematical harpoons round 
yonder lofty mansion,” wrote Melville. “All these 
brave houses and flowery gardens came from 
the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. One 
and all, they were harpooned and dragged up 
hither from the bottom of the sea.” 
In decades of hunting, the New Englanders 
became, quite literally, bloody experts in 
their trade. Some of the lines in Moby Dick 
are so perfect as to seem carved into the 
paper, but many of the most memorable 
are graphic descriptions of how gruesome 
the whole business was. Perhaps better to 
leave it to the pen of Francis Allyn Olmsted, a 
medical student who travelled on a whaling 
vessel in 1839, to describe one of the whalers’ 
ruthless techniques: “The taking of one of a 
school almost always ensures the capture of 
another, for his comrades do not immediately 
abandon the victim, but swim around him, 
and appear to sympathise with him in his 
sufferings.” The men carrying the harpoons 
showed no such sympathy. 
The importance of the industry to New 
England is explained in the excellent New 
Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts. 
Established in 1903, it opened while whaling 
was still popular, but at a time when the 
local population knew it was on the wane. 
The Civil War had done them no favours, 
and the introduction of the even deadlier 
explosive-tipped harpoons by the Norwegian 
fleet heralded the beginning of the end of 
America’s comparatively prehistoric trade. 
The demand for whale oil was decreasing 
too. For over a century it had been used to 
light the streets of America’s cities, and the 
hundreds of lighthouses that are still found 
up and down the New England coastline 
also ran on whale oil, the keeper having to fill 
the lamps every 12 hours. But then kerosene 
was discovered and it was cleaner, burned 
longer and didn’t require the transcontinental 
murder of giant mammals. In the case of the 
North Atlantic right whale, the hunters were 
simply running out of prey, too. 
The Whaling Museum doesn’t overtly 
mourn the death of the industry, nor does 
it romanticise the era more than feels 
appropriate. But it does detail the history with 
an almost forensic eye, displaying 750,000 
items, including a replica of whaling boat 
and a juvenile blue whale skeleton, which still 
silently seeps oil into a jar from its immense 
jawbone. Elsewhere there are 3,000 pieces of 
scrimshaw – artwork scratched into pieces 
of whale ivory and the teeth of sperm whales 
by men at sea. That they are such delicate, 
beautiful pieces of art speaks not only to the 
skill of their creators, but also the unimaginable 
boredom on ships between hunts. 
These days, people taking to the waters 
off New England in search of a whale are 
unlikely to be bored, and even less likely want 
to do the leviathan any harm. Perhaps the 
whale are found so readily because they can’t 
resist the easy meals found beneath those 
waves, but it’s just as easy to believe that 
they have been forgetful, or forgiving, of man’s 
transgressions, and that when they feed so 
close to the boats they do so as an act of 
kindness and reconciliation. 
“The mere act of penning my thoughts 
of this Leviathan, they weary me,” wrote 
Melville, “as if to include the whole circle of the 
sciences, and all the generations of whales, 
and men, and mastodons, past, present, and 
to come, with all the revolving panoramas of 
empire on Earth, and throughout the whole 
universe.” A lways the whale has left the mind 
reaching for bigger things.

ESCAPE // LOS ANGELES 
“The Chateau Marmont?” asked my 
puzzled American production manager, 
regarding my accommodation request during 
the filming of my first US TV show. “Why does 
every Brit I ever deal with want to stay there?” 
I didn’t bother to explain. Perennial home to 
the stars, The Chateau is an LA legend and 
there was no way I was ever going to stay 
anywhere else. 
Los Angeles is a curious destination. There’s 
the Hollywood sign, the Walk of Fame and that 
crazy guy on Venice Beach playing the guitar 
on roller skates who was in Fletch. But there 
are no great destination landmarks, no 
fabulous café culture, no obvious place to go. 
Los Angeles is more of a “scene” and you 
are either part of that scene, or a movie-going 
tourist. Actually, I lie. There is another option. 
You can check into The Chateau Marmont 
and instantly become a Hollywood bit player. 
66 
The Chateau features heavily in LA cultural 
references, from almost every Lana Del Rey 
lyric to the work of F Scott Fitzgerald, (celebrity 
photographer) Annie Leibovitz and John 
Belushi. This is where trendy Hollywood comes 
to party. It is the original Hotel California, built 
as an apartment block in 1926 and modelled 
loosely on a couple of Gothic chateaux in the 
Loire Valley. 
Driving down Sunset Boulevard, the place 
stuck out like a sore thumb. The odd turrets 
and faux-French architecture blended with 
poolside palm trees and a gargantuan 
neighbourhood billboard to encapsulate 
everything I love about LA: the perpetual 
spring weather, the unashamed materialism, 
the seedy glamour. 
I’d asked my production manager to book 
me into the Chateau because I was a 
comedian getting a break in the City of Angels 
and this was the hotel to the stars. Once, it was 
the ultimate rock n’ roll hotel with luminaries 
like Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and 
Mick Jagger hanging out in the grounds. 
Nowadays, the clientele is more of a mix of 
uber-cool Hollywood – plus any visiting British 
rock stars (and comedians). 
When I got there it didn’t disappoint. The 
hotel was dark, the corridors were dark, even 
the furniture was dark. It positively reeked of 
atmosphere and when I got into my room it 
was like moving into a Raymond Chandler 
novel. The hotel was built as an L-shaped 
apartment block/castle and so the rooms still 
have the feel of a 1950s bachelor’s apartment 
but with all the mod-cons. The beds are super 
comfortable but the rest is just the right side of 
kitschy, with a vintage kitchen, complete with 
an antique fridge full of goodies and a letter-set 
that announces you are now “in residence” 
at the Chateau. 
The real joy of the place however, is the 
garden. A raised, first-floor lawn-tent affair, it is 
lit by twinkling fairy lights and unnecessarily 
heated by platoons of patio heaters (it can 
plummet down to a Botox-numbing 15C at 
night) in which you suddenly find yourself in 
some surreal situations. On my very first 
morning there, I wandered down to breakfast, 
very jet-lagged, only to be seated next to 
Orlando Bloom. This would have been interesting

enough but Courtney Love was two tables away 
and behaving rather erratically. Then Johnny 
Depp walked in and I gave up on any thoughts 
of the rather wonderful breakfast on offer and 
instead pricked up my eavesdropping ears. 
Everywhere you look in the Chateau's 
garden a Hollywood cliché is unfurling: a ditzy 
model laughing too hard at her older date’s 
jokes; Michael Madsen, dressed in what 
appears to be off-cuts from a Hell’s Angel 
staring at his drink as though it had just 
disrespected him; a woman with sunglasses 
too large for any normal human trying to get 
noticed by the nearby table of dim cheekbones. 
It’s no wonder that Sofia Coppola shot her 
movie Somewhere there. It is more of a wonder 
that it was such a stinker, as the script for a 
thousand great movies seems present at every 
sitting. I was once stuck at the Chateau for two 
weeks while an annoying Icelandic volcano 
grounded all international flights. Nobody 
could tell me when this pesky mountain was 
going to stop belching and so I hunkered down 
for a long stay. This was no hardship. It was 
particularly comforting to know that, during this 
period of natural unrest, I would have been 
totally safe had LA suffered from another – the 
Chateau was the first building in LA to be 
designed as earthquake-proof. 
Most days I’d hang out by the pool and 
observe the comings and goings from the 
garden cottages and hillside bungalows. These 
are all separate from the main building and the 
occupants tend to get up very late and stumble 
about the poolside area talking loudly about 
whatever they got up to the night before. 
Everything you need to know about what’s 
happening in LA is repeated around this pool. 
Then, if you can’t wangle a game of table 
tennis with a member of Coldplay, it’s off to 
lunch to see who has arrived. If you are not in 
the industry and feel a little out of place, a good 
tip is to carry around a thick script with you. This 
not only allows you to look like a “player” but 
you can pretend to be going through the thing 
when you are eavesdropping on Gwyneth 
Paltrow and her date. Just remember one thing: 
no photos. The Chateau has a strict policy on 
this, so don’t start whipping out your phone and 
getting selfies with Madonna. 
So, to recap, when you get to LA, rent your 
convertible, get some enormous sunglasses, 
place your script under your arm and head for 
Sunset Boulevard. You can check into the 
Chateau any time you like, but you might 
never leave…

CREATING CONTACT 
Etihad Airways has completed the final phase 
in the development of its Al Ain contact 
centre facility, with the opening of a second 
contact centre, bringing to three the number 
of centres within the UAE, and a total of four 
worldwide. The new facility will complement 
the airline’s current Al Ain contact centre, 
which was launched in 2011 and is staffed and 
managed by a team of 170 UAE-national 
women. The centre will operate 24/7 with a 
desk capacity for 70 agents providing 
bilingual Arabic and English assistance to the 
airline’s guests. “We are pleased to expand 
our Al Ain contact centre and enhance the 
guest experience with highly trained, 
multilingual contact centre agents,” says Chief

NEW NURSERY 
Employees of Etihad Airways now have 
access to a unique aviation-themed nursery 
in Abu Dhabi, part of the airline’s commitment 
to provide world-class support services for its 
employees. Located directly opposite the 
airline’s head office at Etihad Plaza, the 
Etihad Airways Nursery was officially opened 
by Ray Gammell, Etihad Airways’ Chief People 
and Performance Officer. “Etihad Airways is a 
people business and our people are our 
number-one priority. The new on-site nursery 
will provide the highest quality of care for the 
children, while helping our working parents 
and their families to balance the roles and 
responsibilities of parenting with the 
demands of full-time work,” says Gammell. 
“This initiative reflects our ongoing 
commitment to the wellbeing of our 
employees and their families, to provide them 
with the best-in-class support services.” As 
well as a nursery, the facility also operates an 
out-of-hours crèche service. 
DOUBLE KARACHI 
Etihad Airways will add a new daily flight 
between Abu Dhabi and Karachi to offer a 
double-daily service from 18 November. The 
additional service will be operated by a 
two-class Airbus A320 aircraft configured to 
carry 136 passengers, with 16 seats in 
Business Class and 120 seats in Economy 
Class. Adding 1,904 new seats per week to 
the Abu Dhabi-Karachi route, the new flights 
will provide guests with more choice and 
greater flexibility when travelling to and 
from Abu Dhabi. Etihad Airways will now be 
able to offer 46 weekly return flights to four 
destinations in Pakistan, which, along with 
Karachi, include Lahore, Islamabad and 
Peshawar. “The addition of the new flights 
will strengthen Etihad Airways’ presence in 
the Pakistani market and foster the growth 
of commercial and cultural relations 
between Pakistan and the UAE,” says Kevin 
Knight, Etihad Airways’ Chief Strategy and 
Planning Officer.

with a new service to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, 
being operated four times a week from 1 October, 
while Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, will be served 
three times a week from 2 October. Both cities are 
famed for their warm hospitality and natural beauty, 
offering a breath-taking range of botanical gardens 
and parks, as well as historical attractions, 
museums and galleries. Etihad Airways will also 
commence a daily service to Dar es Salaam, the 
largest city in Tanzania, from 1 December 2015, 
providing access to one of East Africa’s most 
important economic and government centres.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY 
ETIHAD AIRWAYS IS ENCOURAGING STAFF TO “GIVE TOGETHER” 
the airline’s global network in the first 
few months. 
‘We are pleased, but not surprised at this 
very positive response by the staff. There is 
a strong community culture across our 140 
nationalities,” says Linden Coppell, Head 
of Sustainability. 
The first activity to be organised under 
iVOLUNTEER was the participation in a 
community support project in Abu Dhabi 
using funds donated directly by the airline. 
Fifty volunteers from the programme donated 
their spare time to shop for gifts that were 
distributed to 330 ladies living in a workers’ 
community. The gift packs included fresh fruit 
and personal care items. The volunteers also 
distributed hot meals in collaboration with 
Abu Dhabi Cause Connect, a UAE-based 
community group that is dedicated to 
increasing creative collaboration between 
causes, communities and companies. 
To encourage further collaboration and 
incentivise staff, the sustainability team held 
a leadership workshop for staff enrolled in 
the iVOLUNTEER programme. 
More than fifty volunteers attended the 
workshop titled Leading by Example – 
spreading happiness and making a 
difference. They listened to and interacted 
with Jules Lewis, a motivational speaker who 
gave examples of her involvement in various 
community and corporate social 
responsibility activities. The focus was on 
how the volunteers could benefit at both a 
personal and professional level through 
working together and giving back to 
the community. 
The sustainability agenda of Etihad Airways 
is framed under the TOGETHER initiative, 
which comprises four key elements: Growing, 
Working, Giving, and Greener. The “Giving” 
component incorporates the airline’s efforts 
to support the wellbeing of local and global 
communities, and recognises that its 
employees can play a major role in the 
support of these efforts. 
The Etihad Airways’ sustainability team 
recently launched the iVOLUNTEER 
programme – a wide-ranging initiative to 
encourage employees to engage in 
community-related activities and support 
the work of local charities across the UAE 
and in other parts of the world. 
Since the launch, the programme 
has witnessed great success, registering 
over 400 employees from around

For the last two years Yvan has made an annual visit to the Christian 
Foundation for the Blind in Thailand, a non-profit charitable organisation 
helping blind people and employing staff, regardless of gender, race or 
religion. The foundation employs 400 people and caters for over 4,000 
blind persons all over Thailand. 
Yvan made a visit to one of the schools supported by the Foundation 
to donate clothes, blankets and bags donated by Etihad. The 
iVOLUNTEER programme has enabled Yvan to connect with similarly 
minded individuals who helped him in the collection of these items.
EQUITY ALLIANCES INSIDE ETIHAD 
To meet its mandate to be global, 
competitive, profitable and financially 
independent, Etihad Airways needs to build 
scale and reduce costs. In its own right, 
the airline can never achieve the size of 
its major competitors, most of which have 
been flying for decades or, in some cases, 
generations. So it has developed a new 
business model that supplements organic 
growth and codeshare partnerships with 
minority investments in other strategically 
important airlines. 
Codeshare and commercial partnerships 
deliver revenue, network access and 
customer loyalty opportunities. Equity goes 
much further. It enables Etihad Airways to 
significantly reduce unit costs and achieve 
productivity gains and cost savings that 
otherwise could be achieved only through 
a merger or takeover. It also streamlines 
entry into new markets and facilitates rapid 
growth through the use of established 
networks, facilities and customer bases. 
Equity means skin in the game, ensuring 
commitment and obligation from both 
airlines, and much deeper cooperation 
than a commercial partnership can deliver. 
It offers savings through resource-sharing 
such as joint training of pilots and cabin 
70 
crew, shared maintenance of common 
aircraft types, joint leasing of property 
and unified sales and marketing activities. 
Equity also enables joint procurement of 
assets, services and supplies – from office 
stationery to aircraft – providing major 
economies of scale that legacy airline 
alliances cannot offer to their members. 
And it creates opportunities to share best 
practice and to transfer knowledge for 
mutual benefit. 
Etihad Airways currently holds a 29.21 
percent stake in airberlin; a 40 percent 
stake in Air Seychelles Ltd; a 21.24 
percent equity stake in Virgin Australia; 
a 4.99 percent stake in Aer Lingus; a 24 
percent equity stake in Jet Airways, a 49 
percent equity stake in Air Serbia and has 
announced plans to take a 49 percent stake 
in Alitalia, subject to regulatory approvals. 
Etihad Airways is also awaiting regulatory 
approval to acquire 33.3 percent of the 
Swiss-based regional carrier Darwin Airline, 
which is currently operating as Etihad 
Regional-Switzerland. 
BENEFITS OF EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS 
Equity and codeshare partners contributed 
revenues of US$820 million to Etihad 
Airways during 2013. This represented a 30 
percent increase over 2012, and 21 percent 
of the year’s total revenues for Etihad 
Airways, which reciprocated by contributing 
passengers and freight to partner airlines. 
In the case of equity partners, the benefits 
were even greater, significantly reducing 
unit costs and operating expenses through 
activities including resource sharing and 
joint procurement. 
During 2013, Etihad Airways operated a 
number of services using aircraft from the 
fleets of Jet Airways, Virgin Australia and 
Air Seychelles, while also providing aircraft 
to partners including Air Seychelles and Air 
Serbia to meet short-term requirements. 
Etihad Airways hired 50 pilots who were 
surplus to airberlin’s requirements, and 
shared new office facilities in Germany 
with airberlin, provided training for pilots 
and cabin crews from several partner 
airlines and participated in joint sales 
and marketing activities with a number of 
partners around the world. 
Etihad Airways also extended the benefits 
of its equity relationships by connecting 
partner airlines with each other, as well 
as by integrating partner airlines into the 
Etihad Guest loyalty programme.

HEALTH INSIDE ETIHAD 
ENVIRONMENT: The inflight cabin 
pressure is significantly different to that at 
ground level. On most flights, the pressure is 
similar to 5,000 – 8,000ft above sea level. 
This has two effects: there is less oxygen 
available for your body to absorb, and the air 
and other gases in your body expand. 
Typically, neither phenomenon presents 
healthy passengers with problems. 
However, with the body inactive and the 
blood absorbing less oxygen, bodily 
processes slow down, slightly impairing the 
ability to digest food. It’s advisable to eat 
lightly before and during the flight. Some 
passengers feel discomfort during take off 
and descent as the air in their middle ear and 
sinuses expands and contracts. Chewing, 
swallowing and yawning can help. Babies 
might suffer more acutely. 
Another side effect of the cabin’s atmosphere 
is the low level of humidity, leading to dry 
eyes, a sore throat and constant thirst. To 
compensate, travellers should drink regularly 
but avoid alcohol and caffeine, both of which 
cause dehydration. Regularly applying 
moisturiser to the skin and lips will also help. 
Glasses, rather than contact lenses, should 
be worn on long-haul flights. 
OTHER TIPS INCLUDE: Wearing 
loose clothing, and leaving the area under the 
seat in front of you empty to allow space for 
you to stretch. 
JET LAG: The effects of jet lag vary 
depending on how many time zones have 
been crossed, the individual’s ability to 
recover, and the direction of travel. To 
diminish jet lag’s effects, rest well before the 
flight and, if your schedule permits, move two 
hours towards the destination time before 
flight. During the flight, eat lightly, reset your 
watch, and consume caffeine sparingly. 
Schedule outdoor activities early on and limit 
daytime naps to 40 minutes or less, going to 
bed at the appropriate hour for the new zone. 
HEALTH RISKS: It is best to consult 
your doctor about health concerns before 
flying. Pregnant women and those with heart 
or respiratory problems, blood disease or ear, 
nose and sinus infections should seek 
medical advice before they fly. Travellers who 
scuba dive should wait 24 hours after their 
last dive before flying to minimise the risk of 
developing decompression illnesses. Although 
quite rare, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can 
also pose a threat. Passengers are 
encouraged to walk around the cabin 
periodically to decrease any potential risk. 
SIT UP STRAIGHT 
 Place the pillow at the hollow of 
your back. 
 Sit tall in your seat to avoid 
compressing your spine. 
 Do not cross your legs. Instead, try to 
sit with your weight evenly balanced. 
SHOULDER CIRCLES 
 Sit tall and move forward in your seat. 
 Bring your shoulders up towards your 
ears, then circle back downwards. 
 Reverse the exercise by lifting your 
shoulders towards your ears and 
drop them back. 
ANKLE CIRCLES 
 Sit tall in your seat, and place the 
pillow under your thigh, just above 
the knee. 
 Keep your weight even as you circle 
your foot around, keeping the whole 
foot as still as possible. 
NECK ROLLS 
 Sit back in your seat and flatten 
the headrest. 
 Gently and slowly roll your neck to 
one side, then back through the 
centre towards the other side. 
 Try keeping the back of your 
neck extended. 
COMFORT AT 40,000FT 
Follow our simple guidelines to ensure that you arrive fresh and ready to handle any 
challenges that your journey might throw your way 
EXERCISE 
These simple exercises will help to relieve 
the tiredness and stiffness associated 
with flying

    PCEO’S WELCOME 7 MOUNT KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA Etihad Airways has never been an airline that conforms to convention. It’s just not our way. Instead, we constantly strive to introduce impressive products and services to make Etihad Airways the undisputed leader in modern air travel. You’ll find many examples of this in our short but groundbreaking 11 years of operations – from our Inflight Chefs and Flying Nannies to the soon-to-be-introduced Residence suite with its own Butler on our new A380 aircraft from December. Our latest example is something that you will not fail to notice as our planes fly to all six continents of the world: a bold new livery for our aircraft. This striking new design will fly us into the future, and quite frankly there is simply nothing else like it in the world. The exciting new design is inspired by traditional Emirati design patterns to reflect our strong and proud Arabian heritage in a fresh and modern way. It echoes the landscapes and hues of our homeland as well as the geometric shapes found in the modern architecture of Abu Dhabi. You’ll also see the UAE national emblem and the national flag prominently positioned along the fuselage next to the Etihad Airways name. We very much hope you like the new design, which is unmistakably unique and will gradually appear on all our aircraft in due course. Finally, I am delighted to tell you about a further three new Etihad Airways routes for 2015 – Baku, Tbilisi, and Dar es Salaam. These destinations join six other services previously announced for 2015 – Kolkata in February, Madrid in March, Entebbe in May, and Algiers, Edinburgh and Hong Kong in June. A four-times-a-week service to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and a three-times-a-week service to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, will begin in October. Both cities are famed for their warm hospitality and natural beauty, offering a range of botanic gardens and parks, as well as historic attractions, museums and galleries. I know they will become popular additions to our network. Baku and Tbilisi will be followed by daily flights to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in December, our 11th destination in Africa and one of East Africa’s most important centres with tourist attractions including Mount Kilimanjaro. These new routes build upon the extensive network development which has occurred in 2014 with the launch of seven new routes to Jaipur, Los Angeles, Medina, Perth, Rome, Yerevan, and Zurich. We are not finished yet, as new flights to Phuket in Thailand start this month, followed by the US cities of San Francisco in November and Dallas in December. From our unique new aircraft livery to a constant focus on giving you the best new world-class destinations, it’s all proof that Etihad Airways really is a special new force in modern global aviation. Thank you for flying with Etihad Airways. We hope you enjoyed your flight with us today, and look forward to welcoming you on board one of our aircraft again soon. JAMES HOGAN, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ETIHAD AIRWAYS Dear Guest, welcome on board!

    YOUR WORLD //LOCAL COLOUR PILGRIMS PROGRESS One of Egypt’s most important moulids [religious festivals], the Moulid of Sayyed Ahmed al- Badawi, will transform Tanta in the Nile Delta – around 90 kilometres from Cairo – towards the middle of this month. The eight-day festival honours a Moroccan Sufi who fought the Crusaders in the 13th century. Up to three million pilgrims make their way to Tanta from across the Arab world to pay their respects in the city’s richly ornamented, triple-domed mosque, which holds al-Badawi’s tomb. Thousands sleep either inside or around this building during the festivities as a mark of respect. Expect chanting and ritual songs, boisterous parades and rolling drums, snake charmers, shisha [water pipes], hubb el Azziz [sugared nut snacks], and vendors selling tartours [cone-shaped hats]. The chaotic religious fervour includes Sufizikr ceremonies, where participants chant and clap their way into a trance, in an attempt to achieve unity with God. HTTP://EN.EGYPT.TRAVEL 14 STAMPEDE TO SYDNEY The Stampede is charging around Australia bringing complex obstacles and convoluted courses in a fundraising challenge that will test the hardiest of souls. This month sees Sydney on the blocks on 18 October. Participants will run wild through an epic 5km or 10km obstacle course focused on fun that pushes each partaker to the limit – from inching their way through thick mud, climbing cargo nets, speeding down the mega slip-and-slide and dashing through live wires charged with 10,000 volts. It’s challenging, rewarding and fun for all fitness levels, with the junior stampede catering for mini contestants aged five-11 years. The youngsters confront a 2km course with 10 kid-friendly obstacles. In addition, the Sydney Stampede is offering something new this year – for participants to buddy up and tackle the course together, attached with specially designed bungee belts. WWW.THESTAMPEDE.COM.AU GLOBAL GO COWBOY CHEFS Every year, during the second full weekend in October – this year, 9-12 October – Ruidoso Downs in the American state of New Mexico plays host to what may be the nation’s finest cowboy festival. Held at the Ruidoso Downs Race Track, the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium sees old west storytellers, noted historians, poets, musicians, western artists, craftsmen, and a whole lot of cowboys ride into town for four days. The events include cowboy competitions, horse demonstrations, western swing dancing, a kids’ rodeo, and lots of country and western music. The highlight is the World Championship Chuckwagon Competition, with prizes totalling US$13,000. This is not the standard chuckwagon race – instead it is a cook-off, where competitors are judged on their mouth-watering food, and on the authenticity of their wagons and attire. They’ll have to cook up a storm to feed the 20,000 visitors gathering to celebrate all things western. WWW.COWBOYSYMPOSIUM.ORG

    LOCAL COLOUR //YOUR WORLD 15 WHITE NIGHTS In 2006, one fine night in September, Toronto in Canada kept its eyes open from dusk until the early pre-dawn hours. The city buzzed with excitement as Scotiabank Nuit Blanche was unleashed on an unsuspecting city, the all-night exploration and celebration of contemporary art keeping slumber at bay. Since then, one night a year is dedicated to this multi-location artistic endeavour, which sees art grace the streets, parks and all manner of venue across the city. Toronto won’t be sleeping this year on 4 October, with the free art event kicking off at 6:53pm and flowing through to sunrise. Hundreds of artists are involved in creating more than 125 art projects. Some works encourage an intimate encounter with art, others wow with large-scale spectacle. The curated projects this year include Between the earth and the sky, the possibility of everything; The Night Circus; and Performance Anxiety, but you’ll find surprises around every corner. WWW.SCOTIABANKNUITBLANCHE.CA TRUFFLE TIME The Alba White Truffle Festival kicks off on 11 October, running every weekend through to mid-November, and is the highlight of the white truffle season in Italy. The Piedmont region, where Alba is located, is considered to produce the best white truffles in the world. As such, visitors travel from far and wide to take part in the White Truffle Festival in Alba’s central square, the epicentre of the truffle-globe. The festival features not only the tasty fungus, but also arts and cultural events and spectacles that revolve around the celebration. One of the non-culinary highlights is the donkey race, held on the first weekend of the festivities. Heralded by a lavish medieval procession and theatrical pageantry re-enacting key moments of Alba’s history, the race is a comedy of errors, with the stubborn beasts refusing to run, or cantering off wilfully in the wrong direction, their desperate jockeys trying to urge them over the finish line.

    TRAVELLING IN STYLE Globe-Trotter has been around since 1897, although the company relocated from Germany to England in 1932, where it has remained. Every suitcase produced by the luxury travel brand is handmade in the UK on original Victorian machinery. The cases are constructed from vulcanised fibreboard, composed of 14 layers of specially bonded paper, with the corners, handles and straps crafted from leather. Don’t miss the recently launched Voyage collection, which is handcrafted in sumptuous purple, comp lemented with rich burgundy leather trim and brass hardware. This is the first time Globe-Trotter has released a purple edition, which also celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the company’s first limited edition featuring a Liberty-print lining. Opening the Voyager case reveals the exquisite Hera peacock feather print, which originally debuted in the 1890s as a furnishing fabric.

The elegant works are inspired by the history, geography and diversity of the Himalayan region.

    YOUR WORLD //ECO NEWS 18 TURTLE TIME The private island of Sainte Anne in the Seychelles is home to a Beachcomber Hotel, lapped by the waters of one of the world’s largest marine par ks. The turtle egg-laying season starts here this month, lasting until January. Each day, turtles venture ashore to lay their eggs on one of the six beaches or creeks that form the beautiful shores. Two months later, hatching begins, giving guests an amazing glimpse of nature. Aware of the importance of the preservation of these animals, the hotel has committed to a protection programme in conjunction with Sainte Anne’s marine park authorities. Every birth that occurs on the island is reported and the turtles are regularly counted and weighed. Procedures are implemented to guarantee the preservation of the fragile ecosystem, with the nests clearly marked, and lights switched off at night to offer the creatures peace and privacy. An increasing number of turtles returning to the island year on year suggests these measures are working. WWW.BEACHCOMBER-HOTELS.COM/HOTEL/ SAINTE-ANNE-RESORT-SPA DANGLING ABODE The Roomoon is a hanging tent handcrafted by Rufus Martin. Originally part of an A-Level design and technology school project, the Roomoon has now become a full-time business – after all, who doesn’t want some time in a spherical haven in the trees? The pinnacle of tensile glamping, the Roomoon’s durable stainless steel frame is held rigid with push pins, but folds down for easy transport. The hand-made canvas cover is designed to provide shelter, yet opens to reveal the world, and the matt lacquered ply floor can be rolled away for access to a small storage space below. Rolled up, the boards become the carrying case for the frame and accessories. The real creativity, though, is in the custom-made hoist that allows the user to haul themselves three metres off the ground. Based on an engineering scheme from the 18th century, the hoist can lift up to one tonne with its three ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene slings, leaving you dangling in the canopy. WWW.HANGINGTENTCOMPANY.COM GREEN LIFE AN ODE TO THE OKAVANGO UNESCO has officially designated Botswana’s unique Okavango Delta its 1,000th World Heritage Site. Situated in north-western Botswana, the Okavango Delta is a broad, fan-shaped plain of permanent swamps and seasonally flooded grassland, spanning an area roughly twice the size of Qatar. Its extraordinary annual flooding, which occurs in the dry season, supports one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, sustaining populations of threatened large mammals such as the cheetah, the white and black rhinoceros, the wild dog and the lion. It harbours 24 species of globally threatened birds and is key to the survival of Botswana’s population of 130,000 elephant – the largest community of the species in the world. The Okavango also supports the lives of thousands of people by providing fresh water, food, building materials, medicinal plants and employment through tourism. The proposal for World Heritage listing was strongly backed by the indigenous peoples living in and around the delta, who have conserved the area for millennia.

    YOUR WORLD //DRIVE Hatching a plan THE INVENTOR OF THE ORIGINAL HOT HATCH HAS CREATED SOMETHING EVEN HOTTER WITH ITS LATEST ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE MODEL. BUT IS THE GOLF R WORTH THE EXTRA SPEND OVER THE ALREADY LEGENDARY GTI? It was 1976 and a motoring revolution was brewing. With the global oil crisis in full swing, frugal fun was certainly a winning formula. One German car-maker understood that not everyone could afford a sports car, and proved that keen drivers need not be lumped with boring metal. Volkswagen set out to capture customers by appealing to their sensible nature. It took a humble city runabout, the Golf, and installed a ground-breaking, K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection system. This gave it 110bhp, which, combined with stiffer suspension and direct steering, made it a blast to punt down the local B-road. A redesigned interior, wider wheels and GTI badges were added. The first “hot hatch” was born. Seven generations later and the GTI is still the pick for those who want hatch practicality but enjoy a bit of fun on the weekends. But, like everything in life, there are those who want more. Thus, with the advent of the Golf Mk IV, Volkswagen decided to be a bit creative. It took a 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine making 237hp and shoehorned it into the tiny engine bay of the GTI, adding a driveshaft to also power the rear wheels, creating an all-paw 20 screamer. The Golf R32 entered the world with a zinging engine and tremendous grip, even if it wasn’t especially fast. The next iteration was brilliant – more power, better balance, better sound. It was quick and affordable, but again, was quite heavy. A move to reduce emissions meant downsizing the engine, thus the Mk VI Golf R utilised a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder. A good effort, on paper, it was executed poorly in reality. Despite being all-wheel-drive, it behaved exactly like a front-wheel-drive car, understeering when pushed and far too laggy when coming on boost. The result was rather undignifying – the front ploughed on in almost every corner and the rear wheels couldn’t supply enough power to bring the back around. Apart from the extra power over the Golf GTI, there was absolutely no benefit in paying the thousands of dollars extra it cost. However, in 2014 a new version was launched, and The Mark VII Golf R is very different to its predecessor. It’s longer, wider and heavier, but it counters with more power, better suspension and a far more capable drive system. Again, it’s a 2.0-litre boosted four-pot, but Volkswagen has beefed up the internals to handle the extra grunt. The cylinder head, exhaust valves, valve seats and springs have been all upgraded, while redesigned pistons, injection valves and turbocharger are included. It’s a strong engine; oh yes, aftermarket tuners will be rubbing their hands with glee. Using a dual-clutch transmission (the much-vaunted six-speed, rather than the sloppy seven-speed), the Golf R puts its power effectively, launching it to 100kph in just five seconds. But while it’s impressive in a straight-line, it’s most at home attacking a corner. Using a Haldex 5 apportioning drive system, each wheel is primed to compensate for slip, even before it happens. The result is a beautifully balanced vehicle, and one that doesn’t raise the white flag to physics partway through a curve. Even if the road tightens, keep your foot buried, allowing the electronic brain to sense the yaw and shuffling the torque to the needed wheels. The system is completely seamless, feeling as natural as a well-sorted rear-wheel-drive, and it simply pulls you through the bend and slingshots you out the other side. Despite this elec-trickery going on underneath, it never feels disconnected or artificial. There’s good weighting from the steering, the brakes give good feel and the paddles mounted on the steering wheel shift near-instantly. In Race mode, there’s even a growly exhaust note, adding to the enjoyment. Couple that with a beautifully built interior and heaps of room and the Golf R passes as not just a hot hatch, but a genuine daily mode of transport. WORDS KARL PESKETT

    YOUR WORLD //ROOM WITH A VIEW 22 IN WITH THE OLD LONDON’S ICONIC SAVOY HOTEL HAS RE-OPENED AFTER A MULTIMILLION-POUND RESTORATION PROJECT. THIS PRESTIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENT IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL THAT IS MODERN LUXURY, BUT HAS MAINTAINED ITS TRADITIONAL BRITISH AESTHETIC AND OLDE-WORLDE CHARM. WORDS REEM FEKRI Lunch Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill serves up a wonderful array of traditional and comforting, yet classy, food. A strong Art Deco aesthetic filters through the square, endearingly lit dining room. The neo-Edwardian menu proves the perfect solution for a rainy-day lunch. Savour pan-fried gnocchi with sea vegetables and sweet garlic or a forest mushroom and confit potato pie with cabbage. Afternoon Tea There’s nothing quite as quintessentially English as high tea, and this, at The Savoy, is legendary. Taking place at the Thames Foyer, the central cupola allows natural daylight to flood the room, highlighting in the centre, a charming pianist playing in an equally delightful gazebo. Try the increasingly rare yellow tea (similar to green tea) while nibbling on four courses of an array of finger sandwiches, scones, French pastries and Savoy signature cakes. Morning No two rooms are alike at The Savoy with their interiors presenting a mix of Edwardian or Art Deco features. Wake up to an incredible view of the Thames, just as Monet, Churchill and Monroe did in the past. If you manage to prise yourself from under the exquisite bed linen, head up into the hotel’s well-appointed gym to work up a sweat in preparation for the breakfast to come. After rinsing under a gargantuan rain shower, head down into the Thames Foyer and gorge on traditional-with-a- twist breakfast options such as papaya with lime, followed by Bircher muesli topped with banana, blueberries or caramelised apple and cinnamon brioche French toast. People-watch and digest while sipping on white peony and rose tea from quaint, Edwardian-patterned crockery. Midday Be transported into heavenly bliss at the Savoy Spa. Wipe away the smog of the city by opting for the deep cleansing facial – a rejuvenating experience that uses freshwater mud masks, along with oils and massage. Afterwards, work up an appetite by doing laps in the pool. Situated under a stunning atrium, the water contains hardly any trace of chlorine (it’s purified by Kinetico systems) and will leave your skin nourished and soft. Dinner Cocktails If you have room to spare, make your way to Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill, equipped with beautiful 1920s-inspired décor and a panoramic view of the river. With such a varied menu, Kaspar’s focuses on fish, cheese as well as more traditional “classy” cuisine such as sweet potato and goats cheese ravioli. Round off with the delectable chocolate fondant, accompanied by caramel ice cream and hazelnuts. For post-dinner cocktails, head to the Beaufort Bar. The bar stands on a former cabaret stage and is dramatically decorated in black and shimmering gold. While a jazz pianist enhances the atmosphere, sip away at the best cocktails in the world.

    YOUR WORLD //BOOKS 24 BOOKS: Magrudy’s THE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF THE FAKIR WHO GOT TRAPPED IN AN IKEA WARDROBE AUTHOR: Romain Puértolas PUBLISHER: Harvill Secker PRICE: AED 84 This debut novel by French author Romain Puértolas is a number-one best-seller in France, has been translated into English and is currently being sold in close to 40 countries… not bad for his first go. Following in the footsteps of Jonas Jonasson’s popular The One-Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, Puértolas’ novel is a hilarious adventure tale (sprinkled with smatterings of satire) in which a mischievous hero (an Indian con-artist named Ajatashatru Oghash) embarks upon a series of unbelievable escapades. Leaving his small village in India, he jets off for Paris on a pilgrimage to IKEA, where intends to obtain a brand new bed of nails. But, in no time at all, he accidently ends up on a European tour. It’s all very silly, and is a great read if you’re looking for some light-hearted comic relief, while its serious undertones add necessary depth. SILENCE YOUR MIND AUTHOR: Dr Ramesh Manocha PUBLISHER: Orion PRICE: AED 71 The benefits of this book are twofold: if you’ve considered meditation, but are unsure about how to start, then this is for you; and if you’re already dabbling in it, then the techniques and solid information presented will only help to deepen your experience. Dr Manocha is a medical practitioner and researcher currently based at the Sydney Medical School, Sydney University, where he co-ordinates the Mediation Research Programme. In Silence Your Mind, he draws upon extensive new scientific research, fusing Western society’s concepts of creative flow and mindfulness with the ancient authentic Eastern idea of inner stillness. He promises that you can improve your happiness in just 10 minutes a day, should you follow his suggested approach: the concept of meditation called “mental silence”, which is practiced in Sahaja Yoga. Master this, and your world could change. JAMIE’S COMFORT FOOD AUTHOR: Jamie Oliver PUBLISHER: Michael Joseph, an imprint of Penguin Books PRICE: AED 195 Jamie has been writing cookbooks for the last 15 years, but with this, his latest tome of delectable dishes, he set out to take cooks to the “next level”. “I’ve dedicated more space to the recipes and switched my usual editor filter off so I can really talk about all the slightly eccentric, geeky little details with extra rants and pops of information,” he says. It’s brimming with guilty pleasures, pick-me- ups and sweet indulgences, presenting everything from beans on toast to his close-to-perfection Insanity Burger, steaming ramen and katsu curry to sticky toffee pudding and tutti frutti pear tarte tati – all captured through exquisite photography. “I hope it helps you think about where you take a dish, how you cook and perfect it, so that every time you make and serve one of these scrumptious, comforting meals, there’s big old smiles around the table,” says Jamie.

    YOUR WORLD //TRANSIT LOUNGE There’s no place like home MINUTES IN THE TRANSIT LOUNGE WITH SHANE WARNE FOR INTERNATIONAL JET-SETTER AND ETIHAD AIRWAYS BRAND AMBASSADOR SHANE WARNE, HIS HOMETOWN OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, IS STILL HIS FAVOURITE CITY. Where is home for you? I spend most of my time split between London and Melbourne, as well as many other stops in between. I’m Australian, so my heart will always be in Melbourne. It’s where I was born and raised. I’ve seen a lot of cities but can say that Melbourne is the best city in the world. What makes Melbourne such a great place to live and to visit? Melbourne always has something going on – a great energy about it with great people. Winters are cold but are not as harsh as in London, and our summers really are (just like the Aussie cliché) all about hanging out down at the beach with family, having a few beers and a barbecue. Tell us about some of the places in Melbourne that mean something to you. I love Brighton as that’s where I lived for a long time with my kids – it’s a great part of the city and it’s close to the beach. I also have good memories of summer holidays down at Portsea. Where would you take a visitor if you were showing them around? If we were in Melbourne, I would take them for 26 a walk along Brighton Beach, then for lunch at one of the amazing cafés like the Pantry, and then for a night out at Club23 at Crown. In London I couldn’t go past taking them to [Ciro’s] Pizza Pomodoro on a Sunday night – it has the best Italian food and an Elvis impersonator who will rock your socks off. Where else in the world is important to your career? The United Kingdom is a huge part of my life, particularly London as it’s where I am based and live. It’s a place that has been such a big part of my career – both for playing cricket, and now also for commentating. I’ve made a lot of great friends in London. Of course I also do a lot of travelling to South Africa and India, which are both great places to visit – and both have the most passionate cricket fans. What is the best trip you’ve ever been on? That would have to be the 1993 Ashes tour to the UK. We were an amazing group of guys; we had fun and won everything. Tell us the three things you always take with you when you travel. I’m lucky that Etihad provides me with most of what I need on the flights. But three things I always have with me are my laptop, my phone with my current music playlist, and usually a pen and paper so I can write down all my thoughts and things I need to do. What makes you feel at home when you travel? Being able to keep in contact with my family back home is so important. I’m pretty lucky these days with all the new gadgets and apps available that enable me to talk to or text my kids and family at any time. Etihad even has Wi-Fi that I can use when I’m thousands of feet in the air, which is pretty amazing. What’s the worst part of flying? The jet lag! Although I have it down to a fine art now and can pretty much fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. What’s your routine when you get on board a flight? Generally, if it’s a night flight, I’ll get straight into the pyjamas and go to sleep! But on a morning flight or when I’m awake I love to make use of the in-flight movies and of course I’ll order myself some delicious food – the steak sandwich with chips wins every time.

    ABU DHABI //AT LEISURE 38 IMAGE: Stratos Sky-high delight STRATOS, A NEW REVOLVING LOUNGE AND GRILL CONCEPT AT LE ROYAL MERIDIEN ABU DHABI, IS UNIQUE TO THE CITY. TOWERING ABOVE THE UAE CAPITAL, IT SITS IN THE CLOUDS, OFFERING A WORLD OF Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani and executive head chef Justin Galea have something in common: matching collections of gilded, Art Deco-style crockery from Germany. While Armani keeps his at home, chef Justin uses his set to present culinary works of art at Stratos, Abu Dhabi’s latest hotspot in the sky. Set on the highest floor of Le Royal Meridien, this revolving restaurant takes more than two hours to rotate, allowing for plenty of time to take in panoramic views of downtown Abu Dhabi, the Corniche, Lulu Island and beyond. And whether it’s for afternoon tea, sunset cocktail hour or dinner, there’s the chance to catch sight of the UAE capital in a variety of light. But I’d suggest getting there after dark to experience it at its best. As the city’s skyscrapers begin to flicker, spot lamps are dimmed and candles are lit. Gold cushions on plush, high-backed seats shimmer, and bronze cutlery on reflective black tables sparkles. A black and white carpet with a diamond motif commands attention while framed quirky line-drawings of camels, owls and flamingos decorate the walls. The fit-out is Great Gatsby meets Alice in Wonderland, and this opulent and playful theme trickles down to chef Justin’s food. It’s hats off to this man and his chef de cuisine Grant Balinger, for delivering an imaginative menu and presenting their dishes with flair. The kitchen is open, and as I spin past it twice during dinner (yes, I stayed here that long), I chat to the cooks while they work. Created with seasonal produce and sourced from the finest global suppliers, they’re all about achieving the right balance of flavours. Nothing looking contrived. Snacks from the Lounge Selection include crispy fried king prawns scented with fresh curry and lemongrass sauce, and chicken fritters, which I dunk in chipotle mayonnaise. The former are fragrant and delicate, while the latter are addictive. And if fine dining did ever offer a take-away, these morsels of comforting goodness should be served in a bucket. An edible empire of mains will tempt all taste buds, and really it’s difficult to decide on what’s best. From caviar served in a 24-carat-gold-plated egg, to parmesan gnocchi served with black truffle and parmesan foam, or the buttery west coast Scottish langoustines to the decadent lobster mac-and-cheese made with a rich Dunlop cheddar and a brioche crust, it’s a feast for the senses. Simple sides packed with flavour serve as perfect accompaniments. Order the uber-creamy Paris mash or spinach Rockefeller and don’t leave without trying the salad of baby spinach, red onion, tomato, olive and Roquefort. Can the desserts top all that? The answer is yes. And there are three that need to be tried. The spiced roasted pineapple with star anise syrup, eight spice and black truffle ice cream has an intriguing bite. Match it with one of the fine whiskies on offer and its smokey flavours will explode in your mouth. The chef’s Valrhona chocolate version of a Magnum ice-cream bar is simply delicious, but it’s the strawberry posset which, if I absolutely had to choose, would win my vote. Served with granola, meringue, lemon sorbet and 20-year-old balsamic vinegar, it’s a great take on this classic pud, which I think epitomises chef Justin’s style.

    ABU DHABI //PEOPLE The UAE and Hawaii are not quite antipodes, but they come close to that. Almost 14,000km and innumerable cultures separate Honolulu and Abu Dhabi; the fact surfing has successfully travelled from one to the other is proof of its global appeal. In just four years, Mohammed Hassan Rahma (or Mo, as he prefers to be called) has gone from an artificial pool in the Abu Dhabi desert to chasing hurricane-driven swells in Mexico, and, at the end of this month, competing in the International Surfing Association World Surfing Games, which will be held in Punta Rocas, just south of Lima, Peru. Mo moved to Los Angeles in time for Etihad Airways’ launch there earlier this year – the 27-year-old is a sales development manager for the airline – ostensibly for work, but also to continue his development into a world-class surfer. The move allowed him to significantly improve his surfing, and increase the amount of time he could spend in the water. At the right time of year, the UAE does enjoy surfing swells, but they are seasonal and unreliable. Alongside a stint in Australia, Mo’s time in California has seen him qualify for the Surfing Games. That is significant in its own regard but remarkable considering his path to get there. Not only has his rise in the sport been meteoric but, quite incredibly, this is the second sport at which he will participate in a 40 the sea, especially when it comes to reading the ocean. In that regard, he will always be playing catch-up with competitors who have spent most of their lives watching the horizon, preparing for the perfect wave. For Mo, the waves in Peru are likely to be the biggest he’s ever surfed. He plans to get to South America 10 days before the tournament, but is realistic about what he hopes to achieve. “My main goals are to represent my country and to increase exposure of surfing in the UAE. Putting that all together would be really good for me; putting the UAE on the surfing map… I hope that in three years’ time we’ll have five Emiratis competing in the event.” Above all, he takes enormous pride from being able to be the UAE’s flag-bearer. During the opening ceremony, each surfer will deposit a handful of sand from their home country – in that element at least, the Emirati expects to do well. “It’ll be the easiest part,” he laughs.

WORDS JAMIE LAFFERTY world championships. And whatever happens in Peru, it’s hard to imagine this time around being more of a disaster than the last. They say pride comes before a fall, but in Mo’s case it came immediately before an obliterated knee. He was competing in the 2008 World Cup Rugby Sevens when he had the chance to score a try. Bearing down on the points, he decided to showboat a little, at which point his ACL, meniscus and knee bone imploded. The pain and rehabilitation process for such an injury would be enough to put most people off the idea of sport altogether. Yet, before medical professionals thought he was ready to do so, Mo found himself in the water and very quickly on a board. There followed a whirlwind of improvement, expedited by good coaches and meeting the right professionals. His current coach is Sean Mattison, whom Mo credits for his improved technique, fitness and results. “He makes me cry every day – if I don’t finish a manoeuvre that we’ve been practicing, I’m not allowed to come in,” he says over the phone from Los Angeles. The Emirati manages to squeeze in surfing before and after work most days, and is practicing as much as possible before the big event. But while he has clearly adapted to the sport at an almost unnatural rate, there is no substitute for the experience of being in

    ABU ABU DHABIFILM FESTIVAL // ABU DHABI The Abu Dhabi Film Festival (ADFF) is growing up. Now in its eighth year, its programme is more varied, covers more nationalities, more subjects and a longer span of film history than ever before. More selections are submitted for consideration, audiences are bigger. As the ADFF has matured, so have its audiences. In 2013, some filmgoers were so affected by what they’d just seen that they approached the filmmaker afterwards with tears in their eyes, trembling while trying to explain their gratitude. “Since Ali Al Jabri became festival director, there has been a significant increase in the local audiences,” says director of programming, Teresa Cavina. The opening film of this year’s festival is a good indicator of just how far things have come. And it’s an Emirati film that will kick off the eight-day event. Dubai-based director Ali Mostafa’s From A to B tells the story of a group of friends taking a road-trip from Abu Dhabi to Beirut. The follow-up to Mostafa’s 2009 City of Life, its prominence within the programme is seen as a triumph of local film-making. “This is the first time we’ve opened with an Emirati film and we’re proud and happy to present it on opening night,” says festival director Ali Al Jabri. From A to B will be the highest-profile Emirati film shown, but it is far from being the only one. While there is still a shortage of native feature films, the short-film scene is booming. The festival programme has grown by 12 percent this year overall – a figure matched by the increase in submissions to the Emirati Film Competition. However, these days that title is something of a misnomer. “There has been a wealth of short films submitted,” says Cavina. “It’s called the EFC, but it’s actually open to all Khaleeji [Arabian Gulf] filmmakers. We have submissions from all GCC cultures.” The 2,032 entries included works by Kuwaiti and Bahraini artists, as well as the expected deluge of domestic pieces, with filmmakers free to tackle any subject they liked. 43 DEVELOPING FILM THE ABU DHABI FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS THIS MONTH, BRINGING WITH IT A NUMBER OF FIRSTS, SHOWCASING EVERYTHING FROM PET PROJECTS TO SILVER SCREEN CLASSICS TO MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DISNEY SPECTACLES.

    At the otherend of the festival’s budgetary scale is Big Hero 6, which has been chosen to close the proceedings on 1 November. The first Disney film since 2013’s ludicrously successful Frozen (which had a budget of US$150 million and went on to take over $1.2 billion globally), it marks their first cinematic union with Marvel. Set in a fictional future city, Big Hero 6 follows a young robotics prodigy and his portly android companion Baymax as they are forced to become amateur crime fighters. With two of the most powerful names in children’s entertainment attached, and a budget that most filmmakers can only dream of, it’s a huge movie – and surely the biggest film ever to come to ADFF? “Well we have to agree on the term ‘huge’,” says Cavina. “When we can also show our audience winners from the Berlin [Black Coal, Thin Ice, winner of the coveted Golden Bear] and Cannes festivals [The Salt of the 44 Earth, winner of Un Certain Regard special prize] and the Francois Truffaut films, it is maybe not so clear. But it’s true that there’s a synergy happening here in Abu Dhabi. I don’t think it’s by chance that we were selected not just because of the festival, but also because Abu Dhabi is becoming an important place for film.” Important enough for the Star Wars franchise, now also managed by Disney, to come to the emirate earlier this year to shoot part of the seventh movie in their cherished saga. However, for many, it’s the Francois Truffaut films that Cavina mentions which are perhaps the most significant at this year’s festival. One of the founding fathers of the French New Wave movement, Truffaut was enormously successful and influential through the 1960s and 1970s, winning Oscars, BAFTAs and festival prizes along the way. His films are not the most famous at the festival, and perhaps won’t be the most popular, but for Cavina and festival director Al Jabri, they represent a vital step in the evolution of the event. “It’s exciting that we can start to show homages (it’s not a retrospective) to filmmakers,” says Cavina. “Now we feel confident enough to show those films, knowing that there will be an audience for them. At the beginning of the festival that was not the case. The attention on non- Hollywood and Bollywood films was very low. Little by little we started to show other things – for example we showed Chaplin and people discovered that even silent movies were fun.” This year, filmgoers will be able to see an eclectic array of classics, from Rebel Without a Cause to Mary Poppins to A Fistful of Dollars. “We really feel we have killed two pigeons with one stone by showing one of the great film makers of cinema history, – Francois Truffaut – and films that are really ABU DHABI // ABU DHABI FILM FESTIVAL “We really feel we have killed two pigeons with one stone by showing one of the great film makers of cinema history – Francois Truffaut – and films that are really eternal.” eternal,” says Cavina. “The audience will not feel as though they’re watching something that is 40 or 50 years old.” Over a thousand films were watched, whittled down to under 70 (not including the EFC entries) for the final schedule. Some of the selections will only be shown in Abu Dhabi, but may go on to have lives in cinemas around the world. Others have been brought in following their success elsewhere. ADFF representatives attend several festivals around the world to acquire new titles and to see if there is anything to be learned from the organisers of Toronto, Venice and Cannes. “From the beginning of the year we’re working hard to make our selections, to have meetings – a lot of things happen for the festival,” says Al Jabri. “We’re always trying to get exciting films from all over the world.” IMAGES: ADFF CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A scene from Emirati film From A to B; director Sergio Leone; catch an array of classics llike Rebel Without a Cause at this year’s ADFF; festival director Ali Al Jabri; an iconic scene from Mary Poppins; Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars.

    COVER STORY //PHUKET No one can accuse Phuket’s rainy season of false advertising. Predominantly running from July to the end of October, it is characterised by alternate periods of explosive showers and sudden sun, the sky rendered schizophrenic by the season. Yet, while it might not feel like it if you’re caught in a downpour, all that water is essential for making the island, and wider Thailand, such a green and fertile place – there are times on Phuket when it feels as though you can see the jungle growing. When I visit during the rainy period, I’m concerned that the weather might leave me with nothing to do. Or perhaps not nothing – like Indonesia’s Bali or Spain’s Ibiza, Phuket’s name is synonymous with hedonistic holidaymakers, but as on those two far-flung cousins, they tend to stay in a very small part of the island. People didn’t first arrive because they were looking for a party – they came because the island and waters around are beautiful. Later, they realised that nothing is very far from the international airport and that, outside of the rainy season, the weather is reliable and the diving is world class. For Phuket’s part, its wild side is largely contained within Patong, where backpackers and thrill-seekers arrive year-round in search of fun. It is bypassed by locals and discerning holidaymakers alike. However, it is absolutely not a reason to avoid Phuket altogether, an island in flux and which has enjoyed a steady rise in a number of high-end luxury properties around the island. The newest of these is the already serene Point Yamu by COMO, a barely finished property that hangs over the end of a peninsula like a thimble on a finger. It’s an unusual place for a number of reasons. Firstly, unlike the majority of Phuket’s resorts, it’s on the east side of the island, facing into the dramatic Phang Nga Bay. Awake early enough and you can see the sun rise between islands that look like plates along a stegosaur’s spine, reflected by a vast mirror created by the stillness of the water. The resort is also unusual in that it doesn’t have a beach. To me this is great news – there’s no temptation to get covered in sand, then traipse it through the hotel and into my room. Guests who insist on that kind of thing can take the hotel’s small boat over to Rang Yai island, where there’s a private beach and 48 the chance to pretend you’ve been stranded on a desert island, at least for an hour or two. Feeling superbly slothful, I instead decide that the most active I want to be is to take the elevator to a treatment room. The COMO brand has made its name by offering sensational treatments across its nine properties and, despite the newness of this particular haven, the standards have not been allowed to slip. Time passes strangely when you’re getting the right massage – slowing down and speeding up, things becoming at once intense and dreamlike. When I’m told the treatment has finished, I have to be nudged awake. The howling madness of Patong seems like a far-off impossibility. Outside of its superb Nahmyaa restaurant and atmospheric lobby, much of Point Yamu by COMO doesn’t feel especially Thai – it is sleek and it is pretty and it has a location than can hardly be bettered, but local it is not. Perhaps that’s part of a push for ultra-modernity and perhaps that’s why Amanpuri, on the other side of the island, looks so very different. Built in 1988, like its nominal rival Amanpuri is out of the ordinary. The COMO brand and several others have come late to the Phuket party, but Aman Resorts saw something here before anyone else.

    The brand nowhas properties in 19 countries, but this is their flagship. If you have enjoyed an Aman hotel in another part of the world, it is at least in part because the Phuket formula has proved so successful. With pavilions, pagodas and scaly, Smaugian roofs, everything about Amanpuri feels very Thai. The food, the staff, the brilliant massages, all of it is local, very much in sync with itself and its surroundings – thus the benefit of two and a half decades of experience. For most of that time, Tong has worked on site. Originally from Bangkok, he started here in 1995 and today, at 50 years old, he is proud to call himself sports and recreation manager. Tong is softly spoken, and not just because we are talking in the hotel’s surprisingly well-stocked 50 library. I don’t think the whisper-quiet of his brogue is to do with our topic of conversation, either, although I’d understand if it was. On Boxing Day 2004, halfway through Tong’s time at Amanpuri, everything changed – for him, for Phuket, for all of South East Asia. To understand the number of people who The food, the staff, the brilliant massages, all of it is local, very much in sync with itself and its surroundings – thus the benefit of two and a half decades of experience. died in the tsunami that day, the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 is not a suitable comparison. The 230,000 estimated dead are more comparable in number to the victims of the joint nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War Two. Despite its proximity to the megathrust quake, which occurred just off the coast of Indonesia, Thailand suffered fairly few losses; the 5,000-plus deaths were not insignificant, but compared to other countries, it was comparatively spared. Still, Phuket was among the islands affected by the tsunami. Tong will never forget it – not least because he was working on the beach during that fateful morning. The great Japanese woodblock artist Hokusai’s work The Great Wave off Kanagawa is an image most people believe accurately depicts a tsunami: a towering, terrible thing that seems to be constantly on the verge of breaking as it surges forth. It looks theatrical – perhaps even surfable. In reality a tsunami is a pulsating collection of waves, which pushes forward until it runs out of energy or, just as likely, makes landfall. But before all the water arrives, it is preceded by a strange void, a disappearance of seawater. In 2004, no one locally knew this. “I was on the beach because the gym used to be down there,” says Tong as I strain to listen to him. “The sea started going down. It was something strange – we’d never seen it before, suddenly it was dry and going out. We knew there had been an earthquake in Sumatra in the night, but we didn’t know what the effect would be…” Around 50 metres of water disappeared, sucked out so quickly that fish were left flipping and flapping on the exposed sea bed. For some of the local fishermen, this was a dream come true – they ran forward to collect what they thought was the easiest catch of their lives. It was mid-morning in Phuket and even though it was the high, dry season, none of the hotel’s guests had yet made it to the gym. It was just Tong and an Australian trainee watching the demented fishermen chase fish around the sand. “Ten minutes later, the water started coming back. The first one came like a high tide, so quick, so we started pulling back the sun loungers. But when the second one came, we knew something was wrong,” says Tong. It was the Australian trainee who declared it a tsunami and when they saw the third wave approach, everyone fled for their lives. Despite its coastal location, Amanpuri coped with the disaster admirably. The gym was lost and its beach ravaged, but the property is built above a cliff face and then up a hill, like a sea fort. As a result, the damage was minimal and no lives were lost. Further up the coast, particularly in Khao Lak, people were not so fortunate. As soon as they could, Amanpuri sent staff to help with the relief effort.

With many public beaches being cleaned up by the government, perhaps Phuket Town will become the island’s new hot spot.

    THE CLINK //GOURMET CAREFUL THEKNIVES 53 DINING IN WORKING PRISONS IS THE LATEST FOODIE FAD TO HIT LONDON – BUT HERE’S WHY IT’S MORE THAN JUST AN ARRESTING LUNCH. WORDS DAVID PARRY Just 200 yards off the bustling Brixton Hill street is a restaurant with a difference. A real difference. It serves breakfast and lunch like plenty of the trendy outlets in the nearby Brixton Village, awarded the accolade of best market in the whole UK for its hipster appeal. But this 120-cover restaurant, some would argue, is in one of the least desirable places to dine in the country. It’s located beyond the thick-steel doors of Her Majesty’s Prison Brixton – from the outside a mesh of barbed wire and security cameras. It’s all rather intimidating. The notion that criminals and convicts serve up gourmet fare and are entrusted with sharp knives and pointy cooking utensils is not as fanciful as it seems – all of HMP Brixton’s successful prisoner applicants who make it past the rigorous interview stage relish the opportunity to cook for paying diners. It not only helps alleviate the boredom of mundane cell life, but is part of a larger five-step model (recruit, train, audit, employ, mentor) to reduce overall reoffending rates: indeed, the news of the prisoners’ capacity to learn and share their skills is starting to spread well beyond the confines of the prison walls. The restaurant project, or The Clink Charity as it’s officially known, is becoming championed thanks to an increase in openings – the HMP Brixton restaurant follows the successful launch of others at prisons in Cardiff in Wales and one at High Down, Surrey. More prison restaurants are in the pipeline, too, and it’s evident that the idea is engaging the greater British public with the welfare of prisoners in a way that’s never been done before. So how has it become such a success? “We’ve had 12,000 visitors so far,” says Chris Moore, chief executive of The Clink Charity behind the restaurant. “That’s 1,000 people a month – a real cross-section of society. So I like to think that we’re changing the public’s perception of what life in a prison is like, and we’re helping out the hospitality industry. It operates just like a normal restaurant, really – you just can’t sneak out for a cigarette break.” Given that dining at HMP Brixton requires an in-depth security assessment before any reservation is granted, it can also prove to be a complicated visit. Basic entry includes the following: all visitors must book at least 72 hours in advance of arrival and be aged 18 or over (which deters any walk-in customers, the bane of London’s no-reservation dining trend). Mobile phones or SIM Cards are not allowed in to the prison at any time. You may be required to undergo a biometric evaluation, which includes your fingerprints and photograph being taken. Diners may also be subject to routine searching. Then, before the booking can be confirmed, this is written in big scary red letters: “Please ensure you have read and understood the security procedures outlined above as it is a criminal offence if you do not comply.” All of which means that – once you get past the portcullis and menacingly thick steel door – you can be happily guaranteed a table on a busy lunchtime. WITH I like to think that we’re changing the public’s perception of what life in a prison is like, and we’re helping out the hospitality industry.

    GOURMET // THECLINK What makes The Clink restaurant such an empowering concept – and like a badge of honour for anyone that has visited – is it genuinely seems to be working. Upon their release, graduates are helped to find employment within the catering and hospitality industry, and mentors them weekly for six to 12 months to help them reintegrate into society without reoffending. “The prisoners work 40 hours a week, eight hours a day and learn more than just how to work in a professional kitchen,” adds Chris. “They learn teamwork, motivation, social skills – and some of these prisoners have never had a job, at least not a legal one.” On top of this, each training session is meticulous (the knives and sharper kitchen implements are locked away and need to be signed in and out every time they’re used to trim a carrot) and each dish is carefully constructed. Each kitchen assistant or pastry chef has a genuine opportunity to continue their career within the hospitality industry after they serve their custodial sentence – and the statistics for reoffenders are startling. Currently in the UK, 47 percent of ex-offenders 54 reoffend within one year of release, rising to 75 percent among those who do not find work within five years. In 2011, however, the reoffending rate of The Clink’s graduates was 12.5 percent, according to their own statistics — and many more found work in restaurants, including Carluccio’s, Prezzo, Wahaca and Locanda Locatelli – four of the UK’s most well-regarded restaurant chains.. So successful is the charity that the fourth restaurant is now soon to open at HMP Styal, near Manchester, early next year. It’ll be the first in a female prison, and by 2017, The Clink Charity plans to have 10 training projects across the UK, mentoring upwards of 500 prisoners a year. There are also now two Clink Gardens, where prisoners farm fruit, vegetables and herbs to supply the restaurants, plus they have recently invested in livestock, including some 50 chickens. “This is all part of the bigger picture,” says Chris. “When you come out of prison you need to have a tough skin. It’s difficult to find work, to get a mortgage, to pay bills. Society is against you and that’s why so many former prisoners reoffend. That’s where The Clink is starting to really make a difference.” As for the restaurant itself, for the casual diner, that’s an eye-opener, too. The slate walls could be straight out of Mayfair’s finest five-star hotels and the banquet seating and tables – indeed everything, including the lighting – couldn’t be further from the rest of prison life, despite the fact that they’ve been handcrafted in prison workshops throughout the country. And the food? The menu reads like it should belong at a far more expensive Michelin-starred outpost in Soho. For a main course you can choose pan-seared cod loin with pea crust, confit potatoes, pancetta, samphire and lemon and caper dressing, or thyme roast guinea fowl with celeriac rosti and chargrilled vegetables. Dessert could be chocolate and chilli tart with lime-infused crème fraîche – or a variety of ice creams, all of which are made fresh on-site, every morning. “We’ve been visited by the Michelin team,” concludes Chris, proudly. “But as we’re not open to the public in the traditional sense as a walk-in, walk-out restaurant, we’re not eligible – though they did say they loved the place.” Breakfast: Monday to Friday 7.15am – 9.15am. Lunch: Monday to Friday 12noon 12.30pm. Reservations and pre-screening security checks are compulsory. www.theclinkrestaurant.com IMAGES: Shutterstock.com The Clink It not only helps alleviate the boredom of mundane cell life, but is part of a larger five-step model (recruit, train, audit, employ, mentor) to reduce overall reoffending rates: indeed, the news of the inmates’ capacity to learn and share their skills is starting to spread well beyond the confines of the prison walls. FROM LEFT: The menu at The Clink is competing with some of London’s top-notch eateries; the prisoners work 40 hours a week, eight hours a day; more than 12,000 patrons have eaten at The Clink so far.

    SPORT // MAXVERSTAPPEN 56 TO THE MAX HOLLAND’S MAX VERSTAPPEN IS SET TO BECOME THE YOUNGEST-EVER F1 DRIVER NEXT SEASON AT JUST 17 YEARS OLD. WE ASSESS THE PRECOCIOUS TALENT. WORDS STEWART BELL Formula One is a young man’s sport. To race a modern-day F1 car at its limit requires a level of skill, fitness and commitment that only fades with age – and the complexity of the current cars only compounds that. But how young is too young? Enter Dutch driver Max Verstappen, who has just been signed for an F1 race drive with Red Bull sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso for next season. By the time you read this, he will have turned 17. To give you some perspective, the current record holder for the youngest-ever driver to take an F1 Grand Prix race start is Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari – who made his debut at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix aged 19 years, 125 days, and lasted just two full seasons until the end of 2011. Verstappen, though, has the right heritage – and the results to date. His father is none other than former F1 journeyman Jos “The Boss” Verstappen – who drove in 106 Grands Prix for a variety of teams including Benetton, Simtek, Footwork, Tyrell, Stewart, Arrows and Minardi. His mother Sophie is also an accomplished kart racer, with his grandfather on that side, Paul Kumpen, a Belgian national rallycross champion too. So the kid has racing flowing through his veins – and, much like the majority of his fellow racers, jumped into the seat at a very early age via karting. “Ever since I was seven years old, Formula One has been my career goal, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true,” Verstappen says. However, most importantly, the results to date reflect his considerable talent – with karting’s top prize, the 2013 World Karting Championship, pole position and victory at this year’s prestigious Formula 3 Masters, and eight wins (so far) in the ultra-competitive Formula 3 European Championship. And by the time you read this, we will know if he was good enough to overhaul the points gap to Frenchman Esteban Ocon, and take the title… “In the end, it’s in karting that you learn the most – [things] like racecraft, so I think that’s what you need to do before you step into cars,” Verstappen says. “The FIA F3 [European] Championship has been difficult, given it’s my first year. And there are a lot of good drivers in it, ones who have been in it for four or five years already. But I think we’ve had some really strong results.” Regardless, Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost is convinced of his protégé’s potential – and has no qualms about his jump straight to the pinnacle of international motorsport. “We are happy to welcome Max into the Toro Rosso family,” says Tost. “We consider Max as one of the most skilled young drivers of the new generation and we believe he has the necessary FROM TOP: Max Verstappen, who recently signed with Scuderia Toro Rosso, is set to become the youngest F1 driver ever; Verstappen drives an F1 car on the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

I think that any driver can come to F1, adapt, and get up to speed. I think everybody is coming to Formula One for some reason – because he has talent, and he has been successful somewhere. There is always a reason, but then there are many different things that make the difference, so it’s as simple as that.” Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo – who has taken three victories this year at top team Red Bull Racing – knows the strength of the driver development programme that Red Bull has put Verstappen on ahead of his debut next year. “Definitely the Red Bull Junior Team and the programme for me worked a treat; helped me get to where I am,” Ricciardo says. “It’s good they’re now helping out Max. Obviously the age is the question mark but the talent is there. It’s going to be interesting but, yeah, it’s good.” The learning curve, naturally, will be very steep – if not vertical. “First of all, I think it’s great that teams are still interested in the talent of the driver and not the money,” says Williams’ driver Felipe Massa. “[However], 17 is a little bit young! For sure, we need to wait and see how he’s going to perform in his first year. I think the most important thing is that he has the talent. “I hope he can be clever as well. There’s a lot to learn and I hope that he’s quick enough to learn and be consistent in Formula One, and that he can stay, not just for one or two years.” It’s a sentiment shared by Lotus F1 Team’s Romain Grosjean, who only last year really came of age – shedding himself of his fast, but erratic reputation. “It’s a wonderful opportunity that he has and it’s something quite special to come to Formula One,” Grosjean says. “As everyone says, he has shown great talent early in his career but he will have a lot of homework to do to learn everything about racing in higher categories – [and to understand] tyre degradation, speed, a lot of things.” Grosjean should know – he had to grow up very fast in F1. His lowest moment came two years ago at the Belgian Grand Prix, during his first full season, when he was handed a one-race ban for his part in causing the multi-car pile-up on lap one. It was just part of a series of accidents for which now-ex-F1 driver Mark Webber labeled him a “first-lap nutcase”. For now, Verstappen will prepare for his F1 debut next year by taking part in a number of Friday first-practice sessions at Grands Prix – with Abu Dhabi on the cards. And it’s there that we’ll see exactly how quick he is. “We’ve all worked tremendously hard to reach F1 and I will give my absolute best to be successful in the pinnacle of motorsport,” he says. It’s a sink-or-swim moment for the Dutchman set to become the youngest-ever F1 driver. Ready or not, it’s time for his ultimate test. The 2014 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX will be held at the Yas Marina Circuit from 21-23 November 2014. For information on F1 tickets and Etihad Holidays F1 packages please visit Etihad.com. maturity and mental strength to take on this challenge successfully. This year [in European F3] he has already demonstrated how well he can cope under difficult conditions [on-track]. For example, at the Norisring [in June] and Nürburgring [in August], he showed extraordinary determination, and the ability to withstand pressure before going on to win. Bearing in mind that Scuderia Toro Rosso was created with the aim of bringing young talent from the Red Bull Junior Team into F1 and to educate them. It will now be up to us to provide Max with a competitive car, which will enable him to have the best possible start to his Formula One career.” So Verstappen has the heritage, results and backing from Toro Rosso – but will he be talented and mature enough to jump straight from F3 to F1? It’s a giant leap of faith, dodging a chance to prove yourself in a higher class like Formula Renault 3.5 or GP2, before opening up to the white-hot intensity of F1. The only option is for Verstappen to get in and deliver. “There is a lot more [media attention] than you get in F3, of course. But it is part of F1, so you have to get used to it,” says Verstappen. “A racing car is a racing car, so I think the step from F3 to F1, driving-wise, is not that big. It’s just everything around it. But I’m in a good situation here with Toro Rosso to support me in that.” His team-mate next year will be 20-year-old Russian hot shot Daniil Kvyat, who has already played-down the age issue: “I think we will see how it is going to be,” says Kvyat. “I IMAGES: Dan Istitene/Getty Images Sander KONING/AFP/Getty Images Max Verstappen has the right heritage – and the results to date.

    WIDE ANGLE //SUDAN Purple scatters, chased by a Prussian blue. Clouds glow orange, like the dying embers of a fire given late respite by a generous breath. A camel raises its head, squinting towards promised warmth, as Venus silently heralds the coming drama. Rays of light squeeze between peak and col, spilling into the empty valley. Around the camp, eyes dart from the light to its target on the ridge. The sun crests the hill, its light a shock, in spite of the anticipation. All eyes look left as the light reaches its target: the serried ranks of ancient Pyramids. Stones carved with stories of an ancient world reveal their secrets in the light of a new day. This might sound like an archaeological expedition in 19th century Egypt, but this is the modern day, 2,000km south of Giza, near Shendi in Sudan. Sudanese classical civilisation rose to prominence nearly 3,000 years ago, when the Nubian King Kashat invaded Egypt. One hundred years later they returned to Sudan and consolidated their power around Meroë, bringing with them Egyptian customs, such as the use of Pyramids as burial tombs for kings and queens. This collection of monuments is just one of the striking sights I find in this rarely visited land. While not a top destination on tourist hit lists, Sudan is the most rewarding country that I’ve visited in recent years. And it was only through the adventures of a friend that I ended up here at all. Levison Wood, 32, is a British explorer with a unique ambition: to walk the entire length of the River Nile. The river that cradled civilisation spills into the Mediterranean at Alexandria in Egypt. Lev has walked from the source, in Rwanda’s Highlands, crossing Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan, until I meet him here, at Shendi. The river is known as the White Nile until Khartoum, where it meets the Blue Nile from Ethiopia and flows North to the Mediterranean. Lev chose to walk the White Nile because it is more than twice as long as the Blue and, while both sections have been travelled by wing, wheel, and boat, it is the passion to move on foot that sets his journey apart. “The Nile is the birthplace of modern man,” he explains, “It was not far from this river that mankind first struck out across the savannah, and its shores were the melting pot of ancient civilisations. Man was made to walk, and there is no better way to understand this part of 60 “In walking, you experience a country in a way that no fleeting tourist ever could. Rather than dashing from airport to resort, or from hotel to highlight, you encounter places at a pace that suits the human experience.” the world than by the mode of transport that uniquely describes our species.” “In walking, you experience a country in a way that no fleeting tourist ever could,” he adds. “Rather than dashing from airport to resort, or from hotel to highlight, you encounter places at a pace that suits the human experience. You meet people you never otherwise would, encountering the real country, rather than a touristic veneer.” Our time at the pyramids is just such an experience. After walking through the afternoon, we arrive a few hours before sunset. An elderly shepherd bids us welcome, before offering us tea and water. We are the only people here. Picture-perfect orange dunes roll up to pyramids, filling the entrances with sand. We brush it away to reveal hieroglyphics, telling the story of each king or queen. There is a line, above which the wind has eroded the exposed carvings, and we carefully replace the sand to help preserve the images. Previous visitors have not been so considerate: in 1834 an Italian treasure hunter by the name of Giuseppe Ferlini literally blew the tops off the Pyramids while searching for gold. As the sun edges inexorably towards the horizon, we make our camp in a valley between the northern and southern Pyramid groups. Our Bedouin camel-handlers brew sweet chai on a fire of charcoal and twigs, then cook-up a basic, but delicious, dinner of beans, fried onions and tomatoes, which we mop up with bread. The stars in the night sky are bright enough to trace the outline of broken pyramids. I can’t believe we’ve been wandering around monuments that date back to 720BC, uncovering hieroglyphs like Indiana Jones, and now lying down to sleep next to them. If this were anywhere else in the world, we’d be lost in a sea of photo-snapping day-trippers and haranguing trinket-merchants. Instead we feel like genuine explorers. The next morning we rise before dawn for that magical sunrise, pack up our belongings and head north. “Travelling on foot creates a detachment from materialism,” says Lev, “Sure, I have camels to carry provisions and kit, but I need less than you think. Actually, it becomes easier the less that I have – as well as being lighter

As we cover the ground between Meroë and Atbara, we pause at a truck stop for sweet chai and a lunch of foul [a saucy bean dish] and bread. Lev has ditched the expedition shirt and pants that he wore in Sub-Saharan Africa. Here he wears the jellabiya: a cotton shirt and pair of trousers traditionally worn by Arab tribes along Sudan’s Nile valley. “Not only is it more comfortable for the heat, but it helps when interacting with people, as it puts up less of a barrier. People appreciate the fact that I’ve decided to wear their local dress. It’s a point of conversation that breaks the ice.” Lev is accompanied on this part of the journey by Moez, a Sudanese guide of Nubian descent, whose local knowledge and command of Arabic “makes life far easier than rummaging through a phrase book.” Then there’s the camels: Gordon, Speke and Burton. They carry Lev’s kit and provisions for the wilderness between towns and villages. They’re certainly not pets: approaching 61 The river is known as the White Nile until Khartoum, where it meets the Blue Nile from Ethiopia and flows North to the Mediterranean.

    Speke elicits athroaty roar, accompanied by a scent that I don’t wish to re-encounter. To handle the camels, and ensure they are fed, watered and cared for, two Bedouin nomads have joined the expedition: Awad and Ahamad are in their 60s (neither is sure of their exact age) and have been looking after camels all their lives. Their antics are like a comedy double-act. It reaches 40C during the hottest part of the day and we stop at cafés from midday till 2pm to rest the camels and ourselves. People enquire where we come from, delighted to welcome visitors to their country. The generosity is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered: cars pull over and offer us lifts, or even to pay for bus tickets. The drivers shake their heads and smile when we explain our objective. As we rise to pay for coffee, the waitress tells us the man in the corner has paid for it. We haven’t even spoken to him, and turn to say thanks. But he’s already climbing into his truck, and doesn’t look back to seek gratitude. 62 On the seventh day we arrive in Atbara, which is known as the “Railway City” due to the vast workshops built here in the British era, and which continue to provide most employment in the area. It is also where the Atbara, the Nile’s final tributary, flows into the great river. We wander the streets on Lev’s weekly rest day, which he takes to prevent injury. While sitting at a café we chat to another friendly local. In broken English he ascertains that we want to see a side of Sudan that the world doesn’t know. He becomes animated and tells us about a Sufi festival in two days, in the town of Kadabas. We get out the map. It’s 40km. We should be able to make it. Just 48 hours later, we are picking our way through the streets of a town on the Nile’s West bank. Mud-walled compounds line the streets, and donkeys chew absent-mindedly on tufts of grass. In the distance we can hear the faint echo of the call to prayer. On the horizon we spot a mosque and minaret, brightly lit in green. Suddenly we are in a mass of people on their way to evening prayers, and are swept along by welcomes and greetings. We visit the local sheikh, an Anglophile who studied in Birmingham in the 1970s. He formally welcomes us to Kadabas, and we share a meal with him. As evening prayers finish, drumbeats and singing filter out from the mosque, and the sheikh suggests we have a look. Groups of men gather in animated conversation all over the prayer square. From time to time, a current of energy passes through the crowd as incense is waved by a censer-bearer, and everyone pushes closer to breathe in the smoke. Sufism is a branch of Islam characterised by Dhikr – the practice of repeating the names of God, often performed after prayers and usually accompanied by drums or instrumental music. Tonight we see it all around us. A drummer and singer start the process, and the numbers grow until a crowd of up to 50 or even 100 surrounds them. It’s

Over 10,000 Sufis from all across Sudan have come together for this event – which is to remember the Prophet Mohammed’s (PBUH) ascent to heaven – and every single one of them is fed. We are shown the food preparation area, where a veritable army of chefs butcher meat, stir vats of foul big enough to swim in, and brew chai in a comically large teapot. Everything is placed in bowls that are passed along a human chain, before disappearing over a serving hatch and into the waiting throng. The temptation to explore every nook and cranny of this celebration is strong, but we are on the road tomorrow, and need at least a few hours’ sleep. The first suggestions of light are teasing the eastern horizon, but the singing and dancing continue as we make our way back to the campsite.

Experiences like this make the journey so worthwhile. A chance meeting in a café has led to us seeing something that no-one beyond Sudan’s borders has ever heard of. It’s remarkable, really.” As I head home, leaving Lev to continue on his journey, I wonder what other extraordinary experiences he’ll have over the next 2,500km. Whatever he encounters, it’s already one of the most inspiring adventures of the modern era of exploration.

    CULTURE // NEWENGLAND WHALING FORMERLY THE WORLD CAPITAL OF WHALING, NEW ENGLAND’S FORTUNES ROSE WITH THE INDUSTRY. TODAY PEOPLE STILL FLOCK THERE IN PURSUIT OF SOMETHING MAGNIFICENT. WORDS JAMIE LAFFERTY ILLUSTRATION MATT KISH It’s hard to quantify the enormity of a whale. A North Atlantic right whale can weigh as much as 10 African elephant. So what? Unless life has taken you down an unlikely path that requires you regularly interact with elephant, that’s a fairly meaningless comparison. Telling you that blue whale often come in at more than double the heaviest known dinosaur doesn’t mean much either. Perhaps man-made items allow for better understanding. Remember that huge swimming pool you used to struggle up and down as a kid? The 25m one? Well if you put that blue whale in there, its tail would hang out by another five metres, like a tall man in too short a coffin. And the North Atlantic right whale? Well… Well I can’t actually tell you much about that because humans have so mercilessly hunted them that just 500 or so remain. One of three subspecies of right whale, they earned their moniker during the inglorious days of mass American whaling in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were the “right” whales because they swam slowly and close to shore, 64 came up for air regularly, had an unfortunate habit of being naturally curious, and floated when dead, allowing them to be easily towed to harbour or casually butchered on board. Now, if you were to wander the world, you would be four times more likely to bump into a giant panda than a North Atlantic right whale. Which is to say: they are exceptionally endangered, and that is our fault. Fortunately, other species of whale have proved more robust, even though they too were hunted by man. Take the humpback, as many as 200,000 of which were thought to have been taken during the 20th century. It’s hard to grasp that number too – that amount of meat and bone – but knowing how widely they were persecuted makes their being so easy to spot today all the more remarkable. Along with perhaps 50 other wide-eyed tourists, I spend a morning on board a Dolphin Fleet whale-watching ship just off the coast of Cape Cod, one of those salty New England destinations whose name conjures the roar of the ocean and the cry of a gull. Not far from the boat, four humpback whales are hunting herring using a technique known as bubble-netting. Working as a team, they swim below great shoals of fish, steadily releasing streams of air to confuse and ensnare their prey. Then they rush up from the depths, swallowing the herring in colossal gulps. It’s a thrilling thing to witness, especially as the first bubbles of their trap hit the surface just before their vast, yawning mouths. The crowd oohs and aahs. No one is on the side of the doomed herring. To witness this behaviour, and more generally to see a whale in person and to feel your own smallness next to it, stirs up a strange kind of melancholy. Why did we want to stab at these behemoths? Why would we choose to destroy something so magnificent? It seems to be, as the author of Moby Dick, Herman Melville, wrote, “part of the universal problem of all things.” Melville’s white whale has come to symbolise many things to many people – the perfect novel, a great love, almost anything overwhelming and profound and capable of Finding Leviathan

    NEW ENGLAND WHALING// CULTURE The hundreds of lighthouses that can still be found up and down the New England coastline ran on whale oil too, the keeper having to top-up the lamps every 12 hours. 65 destroying us. To his lunatic Captain Ahab, of course, Moby Dick was the target of insane revenge, the sperm whale having “razed” his leg on a previous voyage: “All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick.” Though Melville, himself a former whaler, understood the trade better than most, it’s unlikely many New England sailors were motivated by hatred of their quarry. More likely they were simply in it for the money – and there was a lot of money to be made. Americans were whaling before the States were united; it was the first global trade in which they were leaders. It was so important to the island of Nantucket that in the build-up to the American Revolutionary War, whalers tried to stay out of the conflict, so as not to interfere with their profits. Even now along the coasts of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Maine, many of the grandest houses once belonged to captains who’d become fabulously rich and fat through whale oil. “Go and gaze upon the iron emblematical harpoons round yonder lofty mansion,” wrote Melville. “All these brave houses and flowery gardens came from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. One and all, they were harpooned and dragged up hither from the bottom of the sea.” In decades of hunting, the New Englanders became, quite literally, bloody experts in their trade. Some of the lines in Moby Dick are so perfect as to seem carved into the paper, but many of the most memorable are graphic descriptions of how gruesome the whole business was. Perhaps better to leave it to the pen of Francis Allyn Olmsted, a medical student who travelled on a whaling vessel in 1839, to describe one of the whalers’ ruthless techniques: “The taking of one of a school almost always ensures the capture of another, for his comrades do not immediately abandon the victim, but swim around him, and appear to sympathise with him in his sufferings.” The men carrying the harpoons showed no such sympathy. The importance of the industry to New England is explained in the excellent New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts. Established in 1903, it opened while whaling was still popular, but at a time when the local population knew it was on the wane. The Civil War had done them no favours, and the introduction of the even deadlier explosive-tipped harpoons by the Norwegian fleet heralded the beginning of the end of America’s comparatively prehistoric trade. The demand for whale oil was decreasing too. For over a century it had been used to light the streets of America’s cities, and the hundreds of lighthouses that are still found up and down the New England coastline also ran on whale oil, the keeper having to fill the lamps every 12 hours. But then kerosene was discovered and it was cleaner, burned longer and didn’t require the transcontinental murder of giant mammals. In the case of the North Atlantic right whale, the hunters were simply running out of prey, too. The Whaling Museum doesn’t overtly mourn the death of the industry, nor does it romanticise the era more than feels appropriate. But it does detail the history with an almost forensic eye, displaying 750,000 items, including a replica of whaling boat and a juvenile blue whale skeleton, which still silently seeps oil into a jar from its immense jawbone. Elsewhere there are 3,000 pieces of scrimshaw – artwork scratched into pieces of whale ivory and the teeth of sperm whales by men at sea. That they are such delicate, beautiful pieces of art speaks not only to the skill of their creators, but also the unimaginable boredom on ships between hunts. These days, people taking to the waters off New England in search of a whale are unlikely to be bored, and even less likely want to do the leviathan any harm. Perhaps the whale are found so readily because they can’t resist the easy meals found beneath those waves, but it’s just as easy to believe that they have been forgetful, or forgiving, of man’s transgressions, and that when they feed so close to the boats they do so as an act of kindness and reconciliation. “The mere act of penning my thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me,” wrote Melville, “as if to include the whole circle of the sciences, and all the generations of whales, and men, and mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas of empire on Earth, and throughout the whole universe.” A lways the whale has left the mind reaching for bigger things.

    ESCAPE // LOSANGELES “The Chateau Marmont?” asked my puzzled American production manager, regarding my accommodation request during the filming of my first US TV show. “Why does every Brit I ever deal with want to stay there?” I didn’t bother to explain. Perennial home to the stars, The Chateau is an LA legend and there was no way I was ever going to stay anywhere else. Los Angeles is a curious destination. There’s the Hollywood sign, the Walk of Fame and that crazy guy on Venice Beach playing the guitar on roller skates who was in Fletch. But there are no great destination landmarks, no fabulous café culture, no obvious place to go. Los Angeles is more of a “scene” and you are either part of that scene, or a movie-going tourist. Actually, I lie. There is another option. You can check into The Chateau Marmont and instantly become a Hollywood bit player. 66 The Chateau features heavily in LA cultural references, from almost every Lana Del Rey lyric to the work of F Scott Fitzgerald, (celebrity photographer) Annie Leibovitz and John Belushi. This is where trendy Hollywood comes to party. It is the original Hotel California, built as an apartment block in 1926 and modelled loosely on a couple of Gothic chateaux in the Loire Valley. Driving down Sunset Boulevard, the place stuck out like a sore thumb. The odd turrets and faux-French architecture blended with poolside palm trees and a gargantuan neighbourhood billboard to encapsulate everything I love about LA: the perpetual spring weather, the unashamed materialism, the seedy glamour. I’d asked my production manager to book me into the Chateau because I was a comedian getting a break in the City of Angels and this was the hotel to the stars. Once, it was the ultimate rock n’ roll hotel with luminaries like Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger hanging out in the grounds. Nowadays, the clientele is more of a mix of uber-cool Hollywood – plus any visiting British rock stars (and comedians). When I got there it didn’t disappoint. The hotel was dark, the corridors were dark, even the furniture was dark. It positively reeked of atmosphere and when I got into my room it was like moving into a Raymond Chandler novel. The hotel was built as an L-shaped apartment block/castle and so the rooms still have the feel of a 1950s bachelor’s apartment but with all the mod-cons. The beds are super comfortable but the rest is just the right side of kitschy, with a vintage kitchen, complete with an antique fridge full of goodies and a letter-set that announces you are now “in residence” at the Chateau. The real joy of the place however, is the garden. A raised, first-floor lawn-tent affair, it is lit by twinkling fairy lights and unnecessarily heated by platoons of patio heaters (it can plummet down to a Botox-numbing 15C at night) in which you suddenly find yourself in some surreal situations. On my very first morning there, I wandered down to breakfast, very jet-lagged, only to be seated next to Orlando Bloom.

    67 enough butCourtney Love was two tables away and behaving rather erratically. Then Johnny Depp walked in and I gave up on any thoughts of the rather wonderful breakfast on offer and instead pricked up my eavesdropping ears. Everywhere you look in the Chateau's garden a Hollywood cliché is unfurling: a ditzy model laughing too hard at her older date’s jokes; Michael Madsen, dressed in what appears to be off-cuts from a Hell’s Angel staring at his drink as though it had just disrespected him; a woman with sunglasses too large for any normal human trying to get noticed by the nearby table of dim cheekbones. It’s no wonder that Sofia Coppola shot her movie Somewhere there. It is more of a wonder that it was such a stinker, as the script for a thousand great movies seems present at every sitting. I was once stuck at the Chateau for two weeks while an annoying Icelandic volcano grounded all international flights. Nobody could tell me when this pesky mountain was going to stop belching and so I hunkered down for a long stay. This was no hardship. It was particularly comforting to know that, during this period of natural unrest, I would have been totally safe had LA suffered from another – the Chateau was the first building in LA to be designed as earthquake-proof. Most days I’d hang out by the pool and observe the comings and goings from the garden cottages and hillside bungalows. These are all separate from the main building and the occupants tend to get up very late and stumble about the poolside area talking loudly about whatever they got up to the night before. Everything you need to know about what’s happening in LA is repeated around this pool. Then, if you can’t wangle a game of table tennis with a member of Coldplay, it’s off to lunch to see who has arrived. If you are not in the industry and feel a little out of place, a good tip is to carry around a thick script with you. This not only allows you to look like a “player” but you can pretend to be going through the thing when you are eavesdropping on Gwyneth Paltrow and her date. Just remember one thing: no photos. The Chateau has a strict policy on this, so don’t start whipping out your phone and getting selfies with Madonna. So, to recap, when you get to LA, rent your convertible, get some enormous sunglasses, place your script under your arm and head for Sunset Boulevard. You can check into the Chateau any time you like, but you might never leave… IMAGES: Chateau Marmont Shutterstock.com You can check into the Chateau any time you like, but you might never leave… CLOCKWISE FROM FAR LEFT: The Hollywood sign was conceived as an outdoor ad campaign for a suburban housing development called “Hollywoodland; stars are voted in once a year in June for the Hollywood Walk of fame. An average of 20-24 stars are selected per year; the Chateau Marmont; the terrace; hillside bungalows are separate from the main hotel; the lobby lounge viewed from the courtyard.

    INSIDE ETIHAD 68 CREATING CONTACT Etihad Airways has completed the final phase in the development of its Al Ain contact centre facility, with the opening of a second contact centre, bringing to three the number of centres within the UAE, and a total of four worldwide. The new facility will complement the airline’s current Al Ain contact centre, which was launched in 2011 and is staffed and managed by a team of 170 UAE-national women. The centre will operate 24/7 with a desk capacity for 70 agents providing bilingual Arabic and English assistance to the airline’s guests. “We are pleased to expand our Al Ain contact centre and enhance the guest experience with highly trained, multilingual contact centre agents,” says Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Baumgartner. “Our contact centres, which are located in the UAE and the UK, handle around three million calls each year. As Etihad Airways grows, we continue to evolve our guest services to provide the best experience for all our guests and travel trade partners.” FIRST FLIGHT INSIDE ETIHAD NEW NURSERY Employees of Etihad Airways now have access to a unique aviation-themed nursery in Abu Dhabi, part of the airline’s commitment to provide world-class support services for its employees. Located directly opposite the airline’s head office at Etihad Plaza, the Etihad Airways Nursery was officially opened by Ray Gammell, Etihad Airways’ Chief People and Performance Officer. “Etihad Airways is a people business and our people are our number-one priority. The new on-site nursery will provide the highest quality of care for the children, while helping our working parents and their families to balance the roles and responsibilities of parenting with the demands of full-time work,” says Gammell. “This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our employees and their families, to provide them with the best-in-class support services.” As well as a nursery, the facility also operates an out-of-hours crèche service. DOUBLE KARACHI Etihad Airways will add a new daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Karachi to offer a double-daily service from 18 November. The additional service will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft configured to carry 136 passengers, with 16 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class. Adding 1,904 new seats per week to the Abu Dhabi-Karachi route, the new flights will provide guests with more choice and greater flexibility when travelling to and from Abu Dhabi. Etihad Airways will now be able to offer 46 weekly return flights to four destinations in Pakistan, which, along with Karachi, include Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. “The addition of the new flights will strengthen Etihad Airways’ presence in the Pakistani market and foster the growth of commercial and cultural relations between Pakistan and the UAE,” says Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways’ Chief Strategy and Planning Officer.

The fast-growing Caucasus region will be a major focus area for the airline next year, with a new service to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, being operated four times a week from 1 October, while Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, will be served three times a week from 2 October. Both cities are famed for their warm hospitality and natural beauty, offering a breath-taking range of botanical gardens and parks, as well as historical attractions, museums and galleries. Etihad Airways will also commence a daily service to Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania, from 1 December 2015, providing access to one of East Africa’s most important economic and government centres.

    INSIDE ETIHAD FIRSTFLIGHT 69 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY ETIHAD AIRWAYS IS ENCOURAGING STAFF TO “GIVE TOGETHER” the airline’s global network in the first few months. ‘We are pleased, but not surprised at this very positive response by the staff. There is a strong community culture across our 140 nationalities,” says Linden Coppell, Head of Sustainability. The first activity to be organised under iVOLUNTEER was the participation in a community support project in Abu Dhabi using funds donated directly by the airline. Fifty volunteers from the programme donated their spare time to shop for gifts that were distributed to 330 ladies living in a workers’ community. The gift packs included fresh fruit and personal care items. The volunteers also distributed hot meals in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Cause Connect, a UAE-based community group that is dedicated to increasing creative collaboration between causes, communities and companies. To encourage further collaboration and incentivise staff, the sustainability team held a leadership workshop for staff enrolled in the iVOLUNTEER programme. More than fifty volunteers attended the workshop titled Leading by Example – spreading happiness and making a difference. They listened to and interacted with Jules Lewis, a motivational speaker who gave examples of her involvement in various community and corporate social responsibility activities. The focus was on how the volunteers could benefit at both a personal and professional level through working together and giving back to the community. The sustainability agenda of Etihad Airways is framed under the TOGETHER initiative, which comprises four key elements: Growing, Working, Giving, and Greener. The “Giving” component incorporates the airline’s efforts to support the wellbeing of local and global communities, and recognises that its employees can play a major role in the support of these efforts. The Etihad Airways’ sustainability team recently launched the iVOLUNTEER programme – a wide-ranging initiative to encourage employees to engage in community-related activities and support the work of local charities across the UAE and in other parts of the world. Since the launch, the programme has witnessed great success, registering over 400 employees from around IVOLUNTEER YVAN PROVIDES SUPPORT TO A SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND IN THAILAND Yvan Clot-Goudard is a graphic designer at Etihad Airways and a passionate supporter of community projects. For the last two years Yvan has made an annual visit to the Christian Foundation for the Blind in Thailand, a non-profit charitable organisation helping blind people and employing staff, regardless of gender, race or religion. The foundation employs 400 people and caters for over 4,000 blind persons all over Thailand. Yvan made a visit to one of the schools supported by the Foundation to donate clothes, blankets and bags donated by Etihad. The iVOLUNTEER programme has enabled Yvan to connect with similarly minded individuals who helped him in the collection of these items.

    EQUITY ALLIANCES INSIDEETIHAD To meet its mandate to be global, competitive, profitable and financially independent, Etihad Airways needs to build scale and reduce costs. In its own right, the airline can never achieve the size of its major competitors, most of which have been flying for decades or, in some cases, generations. So it has developed a new business model that supplements organic growth and codeshare partnerships with minority investments in other strategically important airlines. Codeshare and commercial partnerships deliver revenue, network access and customer loyalty opportunities. Equity goes much further. It enables Etihad Airways to significantly reduce unit costs and achieve productivity gains and cost savings that otherwise could be achieved only through a merger or takeover. It also streamlines entry into new markets and facilitates rapid growth through the use of established networks, facilities and customer bases. Equity means skin in the game, ensuring commitment and obligation from both airlines, and much deeper cooperation than a commercial partnership can deliver. It offers savings through resource-sharing such as joint training of pilots and cabin 70 crew, shared maintenance of common aircraft types, joint leasing of property and unified sales and marketing activities. Equity also enables joint procurement of assets, services and supplies – from office stationery to aircraft – providing major economies of scale that legacy airline alliances cannot offer to their members. And it creates opportunities to share best practice and to transfer knowledge for mutual benefit. Etihad Airways currently holds a 29.21 percent stake in airberlin; a 40 percent stake in Air Seychelles Ltd; a 21.24 percent equity stake in Virgin Australia; a 4.99 percent stake in Aer Lingus; a 24 percent equity stake in Jet Airways, a 49 percent equity stake in Air Serbia and has announced plans to take a 49 percent stake in Alitalia, subject to regulatory approvals. Etihad Airways is also awaiting regulatory approval to acquire 33.3 percent of the Swiss-based regional carrier Darwin Airline, which is currently operating as Etihad Regional-Switzerland. BENEFITS OF EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS Equity and codeshare partners contributed revenues of US$820 million to Etihad Airways during 2013. This represented a 30 percent increase over 2012, and 21 percent of the year’s total revenues for Etihad Airways, which reciprocated by contributing passengers and freight to partner airlines. In the case of equity partners, the benefits were even greater, significantly reducing unit costs and operating expenses through activities including resource sharing and joint procurement. During 2013, Etihad Airways operated a number of services using aircraft from the fleets of Jet Airways, Virgin Australia and Air Seychelles, while also providing aircraft to partners including Air Seychelles and Air Serbia to meet short-term requirements. Etihad Airways hired 50 pilots who were surplus to airberlin’s requirements, and shared new office facilities in Germany with airberlin, provided training for pilots and cabin crews from several partner airlines and participated in joint sales and marketing activities with a number of partners around the world. Etihad Airways also extended the benefits of its equity relationships by connecting partner airlines with each other, as well as by integrating partner airlines into the Etihad Guest loyalty programme.

    INSIDE ETIHAD PARTNERNEWS BIGGER AND BETTER Etihad Regional will increase its services between Geneva and key European destinations for its 2014 winter schedule commencing 26 October. In response to seasonal passenger demand, the airline will increase frequency on the Geneva-Nice route from three to five flights per week and on the Geneva-Bordeaux route from three to six flights per week. Etihad Regional will also add three and four new weekly flights on the Geneva-Venice and Geneva-Toulouse route respectively, to offer a daily service. The additional flights will be operated with a two-class Saab 2000 turboprop aircraft, configured to carry 50 passengers, with five seats in Premium Economy Class and 45 seats in Economy Class. The addition of the new services will bring Etihad Regional’s total network to 25 year-round destinations in Europe, using a fleet of eight 50-seat Saab 2000 turboprop aircraft and four 68-seat ATR 72-500s. NEW HORIZONS Air Seychelles recently announced the launch of two new routes with direct flights to Mumbai (subject to regulatory approvals), India’s financial, commercial and entertainment capital, commencing 2 December 2014, and direct flights to Antananarivo, Madagascar, commencing 3 December 2014. Meanwhile, the airline also scooped two coveted accolades at the World Travel Awards 2014, further enhancing its status as the leading carrier in the Indian Ocean region and beyond. The airline was awarded Indian Ocean’s Leading Airline – Business Class, and Indian Ocean’s Leading Cabin Crew. “To receive these two awards is testament to the outstanding efforts of the entire team at Air Seychelles, our strategic partnership with Etihad Airways, and the innovative approach we have taken to being the best at what we do,” says Joël Morgan, Seychelles Minister for Home Affairs and Transport and Air Seychelles Board Chairman. BRAND EVOLUTION In line with its recent announcement of a uniform “single brand”, Jet Airways will commence streamlining and aligning its domestic operations into a single full service product to provide an enhanced and consistent product experience. As the first of many upcoming initiatives, all guests booking flights for travel on or after 1 December 2014, will enjoy the full service experience on board all Jet Airways and JetKonnect-operated flights across the domestic network. The enhancement into a uniform, full-service single brand will include a complementary meal service on board all flights and Sky Café – the airline’s buy-on-board service – will be discontinued. JetPrivilege members will also earn JPMiles in line with the accrual structure for full service flights. Jet Airways and JetKonnect together operate over 544 daily flights, both domestic and international. LEADING THE WAY Air Serbia has appointed Stevan Sipka, an experienced aviation professional, as its new Vice President Asia Pacific and Aviation Online has been appointed the new General Sales and Service Agent (GSA) for Australia and New Zealand. In his new role, Sipka will be based in Sydney, where he will have overall responsibility for Air Serbia’s expanded commercial operations in the Asia Pacific region. Bringing a wealth of industry experience to the airline, Sipka has worked with both Qantas and Virgin Australia. At Qantas he held the positions of Commercial Manager Asia and General Manager Alliances for Asia. Immediately prior to joining Air Serbia he worked for Virgin Australia as General Manager Revenue Planning. He was also a member of the initial management team of Air Serbia, following the airline’s formation as a result of the partnership between the Government of Serbia and Etihad Airways in October 2013.

    HEALTH INSIDE ETIHAD ENVIRONMENT: The inflight cabin pressure is significantly different to that at ground level. On most flights, the pressure is similar to 5,000 – 8,000ft above sea level. This has two effects: there is less oxygen available for your body to absorb, and the air and other gases in your body expand. Typically, neither phenomenon presents healthy passengers with problems. However, with the body inactive and the blood absorbing less oxygen, bodily processes slow down, slightly impairing the ability to digest food. It’s advisable to eat lightly before and during the flight. Some passengers feel discomfort during take off and descent as the air in their middle ear and sinuses expands and contracts. Chewing, swallowing and yawning can help. Babies might suffer more acutely. Another side effect of the cabin’s atmosphere is the low level of humidity, leading to dry eyes, a sore throat and constant thirst. To compensate, travellers should drink regularly but avoid alcohol and caffeine, both of which cause dehydration. Regularly applying moisturiser to the skin and lips will also help. Glasses, rather than contact lenses, should be worn on long-haul flights. OTHER TIPS INCLUDE: Wearing loose clothing, and leaving the area under the seat in front of you empty to allow space for you to stretch. JET LAG: The effects of jet lag vary depending on how many time zones have been crossed, the individual’s ability to recover, and the direction of travel. To diminish jet lag’s effects, rest well before the flight and, if your schedule permits, move two hours towards the destination time before flight. During the flight, eat lightly, reset your watch, and consume caffeine sparingly. Schedule outdoor activities early on and limit daytime naps to 40 minutes or less, going to bed at the appropriate hour for the new zone. HEALTH RISKS: It is best to consult your doctor about health concerns before flying. Pregnant women and those with heart or respiratory problems, blood disease or ear, nose and sinus infections should seek medical advice before they fly. Travellers who scuba dive should wait 24 hours after their last dive before flying to minimise the risk of developing decompression illnesses. Although quite rare, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can also pose a threat. Passengers are encouraged to walk around the cabin periodically to decrease any potential risk. SIT UP STRAIGHT Place the pillow at the hollow of your back. Sit tall in your seat to avoid compressing your spine. Do not cross your legs. Instead, try to sit with your weight evenly balanced. SHOULDER CIRCLES Sit tall and move forward in your seat. Bring your shoulders up towards your ears, then circle back downwards. Reverse the exercise by lifting your shoulders towards your ears and drop them back. ANKLE CIRCLES Sit tall in your seat, and place the pillow under your thigh, just above the knee. Keep your weight even as you circle your foot around, keeping the whole foot as still as possible. NECK ROLLS Sit back in your seat and flatten the headrest. Gently and slowly roll your neck to one side, then back through the centre towards the other side. Try keeping the back of your neck extended. COMFORT AT 40,000FT Follow our simple guidelines to ensure that you arrive fresh and ready to handle any challenges that your journey might throw your way EXERCISE These simple exercises will help to relieve the tiredness and stiffness associated with flying 74
