7DAYS LOVES...

A Spiritual Holiday

We love a public holiday, but we also like to understand the meaning behind the holiday. This week, Muslims remember Israa' and Mi'raj. Israa was the Prophet's (peace be upon him) trip from Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, while Miraj was the Prophet's heavenly ascension. It is reported in Hadith literature, that the Messenger of Allah was carried from the Sacred Mosque in Makkah to the "Farthest Mosque" in Jerusalem.

Jumping the Queue

We love not having to queue and this is why we think the eGate card is a must for any resident frequent travelers.

The eGate Card allows passengers quick access through the immigration process. You can apply for the card at Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Al Ain, DNATA, or Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports.
