Dubai/Kuwait GTG

I think there are enough TRFers in the middle east to have a WIS GTG. I initially thought of hosting it in Kuwait (which I would do a much better job in). But there's the issue of issueing visas and I think Dubai would more attractive for some members.

What do you guys think? Who's in, when and where would you prefer to have it?

Any day in the weekend is fine by me (whether locally or in Dubai).

How about somewhere significant like close to Burj Khalifa.

sounds really interesting, i think that the most suitable time is during the weekends, and Dubai has a lot of good places to meet in.

hi guys i visited "Momentum" in dubai the other day www.momentum-dubai.com and it is a really cool. i would highly recomend it for a meetup. also he has some incredibly unique inventory so bring your wallets. I am sure the owner Tariq would be open to it. let me know if you want to ask him,.

Not sure of momentum. Tariq was to get a new Rolex for me but instead tried to sell me a fake. Not sure it was his fault but what watch guy does not know that a new datejust does not have a T Swiss T dial.
Apparently he got the watch from someone else.
If he does not know about a new one how can one trust him for a used one.
He is nice but lacks ethics and knowledge.

Would you guys like to meet up sometime in December? We could always meet up after work at one of the pubs or cafes at DIFC.
