Through my eyes: Dani Wilson Naqvi shares her favourite travel destinations

Each month, we ask a local UAE legend about their favourite places to eat, shop and explore around the emirates. But for this travel special, we're going global. So we've tapped Dani Wilson Naqvi ( @daniwilsonnaqvi ), luxury travel designer and founder of Unique Family Travels ( @uniquefamilytravel ) for her favourite spots worldwide. As a travel specialist who's ticked 55 countries off her bucket list, she's well equipped to share the best places on the planet for all vacation styles. Top staycation spot I love the Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert for family trips as we enjoy the desert activities and get to explore RAK with unique experiences such as the Bear Grylls Explorers Camp and zipling across Jebel Hafeet. A definite favourite of my family is Atlantis The Royal, as the family can enjoy Aquaventure from morning to night, there's an endless choice of mouth-watering restaurants, and lots of water activities. @ritzcarltonalwadidesert, @atlantistheroyal Bucket list family trip A safari in Africa is a must for all families. The most incredible safari experience I have had was in Botswana in the Okavango Delta where we canoed in the Okavango and witnessed many truly wonderful sights. For first-timers, I would recommend Kenya. I work with many luxury lodges that are more private and located in private conservancies, so you get to escape the crowds and have a more up-close experience. A must-try meal One of my best memories was at the 3 Michelin Star Mirazur in Menton on the border of France and Italy. We were staying in Monaco and drove to the restaurant, which took 30 minutes. All the ingredients served are grown on the side of the mountain around the restaurant, perfectly encapsulating the farm-to-table experience. @restaurantmirazur Favourite hotel Bisate Lodge (pictured above) in Rwanda is one of the most incredible hotels – so much so that it actually made me cry. The story behind it is very empowering as it was built by the local villagers, it's located in Volcanoes National Park, close to where you can trek with the gorillas. Aside from that, I love Nihi Sumba on Sumba Island in Indonesia, Soneva Jani or Soneva Fushi in the Maldives for the Robinson Crusoe experience, Gleneagles for a country retreat in Scotland, and Belmond Splendido in Portofino for a romantic couples' break. @bisatelodge, @nihi, @soneva, @thegleneagleshotel, @belmondsplendidomare A destination everyone should visit cape town South Africa. There is something magical about this city. From the amazing hikes to the spectacular vineyard Estates, driving the Garden Route to Hermanus to whale watch, and visiting the penguins at Boulders Beach – the vibe in Cape Town is unmatched. Under-the-radar destination Raja Ampat in Indonesia, known as The Last Paradise on Earth. We went as a family sailing around the islands for 10 days. From diving and snorkelling with manta rays, to hiking the untouched islands, it was raw and beautiful. The team set up beach days and dinner on private sandbanks, we kayaked around islands and relaxed on the most incredible boat, which had 15 staff to assist with every need. Easily one of my bucket list moments. Images: Unsplash, Supplied > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

21grams is bringing a specialty pie shop to Alserkal Avenue

Members of the Dubai foodie community will know – multi-award-winning 21grams is the city's sweetheart, occupying a breakfast shaped hole in everyone's heart. The kind of simple, unassuming eatery that you can go to for a sweet daytime date, maybe a lunch, or even dinner, the homegrown Balkan bistro serves up soulfood and the slow life. It's a small space, sitting atop a somewhat obscure mall in the residential neighbourhood of Umm Suqeim. It's muted, minimalistic, where one can pop down to get some work done, catch up with a friend or go on a spontaneous date. The no frills attached atmosphere feels more homely and with a fairly compact menu, you're set for fuss free dining. If you haven't tried Balkan food before, this is a great way to get acquainted. A regular on the Michelin guide and MENA's 50 Best lists, 21grams is a bit of a legend, a bit of an icon and somehow still gracefully subtle, a public haunt of the chefs and restauranteurs of Dubai who feed us regular folk. The all-day breakfast is a delightful affair, with freshly baked pastries served up alongside hearty traditional Balkan fare, such as komplet eggs and Balkan benedict. All dishes and pastries are hand-made from family recipes and served with kindness and generosity by the Balkan-native team, led by founder and creative force Stasha Toncev. After many years of feeding hungry patrons at this location, the brand is now venturing into new territory, as the city readies to welcome Piehaus. Under works in Alserkal Avenue, the pie shop and cafe will be all about specialty Balkan pies and coffee. Along with Piehaus, the brand is also opening doors to another concept, also in Alserkal Avenue – Etar, a catering and design space, offering conceptual catering, food couture, tablescaping and design. Not much else is known about these spots besides these details – we're on the lookout for more when they come, so watch this space. @ @ @ Images: Socials > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
