Have you sipped on safcha, the Emirati twist on matcha yet?
For matcha lovers and those who want to try it without worrying about sleepless nights, a new caffeine-free alternative has emerged from the UAE: safcha. Saaf Cafe, an Emirati concept inspired by the palm tree, a national symbol of heritage and identity, now serves the drink made from dried palm fronds. Safcha mimics the properties of matcha — a heavy pour of antioxidants and nutrients — sans the caffeine. Like the Japanese tea, the drink is green, and its production — the leaves are carefully selected, steamed, dried, and stone-ground into a fine powder — inspired by its overseas counterpart. The name itself blends the words 'saaf', which is Arabic for palm fronds, and matcha. It is ideal for those looking for a calming drink or an earthy local flavour. Mohammed Al Badwawi, brother of the founder of Saaf Cafe, told KT LUXE: 'During our participation in an exhibition in Saudi Arabia, we discovered a new product called safcha. We were immediately drawn to it because it perfectly aligns with our vision of offering products made from the palm tree.' By promoting this healthy beverage, the cafe hopes to attract the younger generation by providing food and juices that align with modern health trends, such as caffeine-free coffee alternatives similar to matcha. 'We've always aimed to offer choices that suit everyone, including those who are sensitive to caffeine,' Al Badwawi added. Now, safcha has become a staple on the extensive cafe menu. Hatta effect Saaf Cafe was established in 2024 in Hatta, and its name pays tribute to the natural environment and cultural heritage of the mountainous Hatta region. It also seeks to promote the culture of using dates by presenting them in various forms — from coffee infused with date extract, priced at Dh30, to other beverages such as 'Basr Juice' (made from fresh dates), Spanish Latte with dates, and V60 with dates. The menu also includes dishes like date pizza, date tiramisu, and rutab (semi-ripe dates) cheesecake, with prices ranging from Dh15 to Dh45. Al Badwawi explained: 'We wanted everything to be inspired by Hatta, from the name to the ingredients.' Saaf Cafe is not just a business project; it is a contribution to the community. We want people to see the palm tree not just as a symbol but also as a source of nourishment, wellness, and inspiration" Mohammed Al Badwawi In addition to beverages and desserts flavoured with dates, the cafe also offers personal care products such as date oil for hair, facial serum, eyelash oil, body oil, and date patches for eyes, feet, and joints. 'Saaf Cafe is not just a business project; it is a contribution to the community. We want people to see the palm tree not just as a symbol but also as a source of nourishment, wellness, and inspiration,' he said. The cafe was founded by Ali Al Badwawi, a retired government employee, former FIFA referee, and former member of the UAE Football Association. Al Badwawi views the project as a tribute to Emirati heritage. With more than 150 palm trees on the family farm, the Al Badwawi estate supplies the dates used to produce the beverages and food items served at the cafe. More than a cafe It's usually location that draws a crowd, but in the case of this cafe, it was the site of operation that proved to be the challenge. (It is located inside Dubai Municipality's Al Wadi Park at Hatta.) However, a collaboration with the local municipality helped turn the cafe into a visitor attraction. 'It was difficult to design a marketing plan that would draw people into the park to visit the cafe, but the municipality cooperated by placing a sign for the cafe inside the park,' he said. The venue functions as both a cafe and a restaurant, featuring two floors and an outdoor space. It was established to serve local products. The cafe blends traditional and modern atmospheres, and offers a unique dining experience suitable for all ages, including traditional breakfasts and other meals. Services include dine-in, online ordering, and soon, a new branch in Mirdif, Dubai. The cafe also organises events and initiatives aligned with local culture, such as dedicating special hours for only women, where people can connect over snacks and a cup of safcha.

How Nissan's latest Patrol Path campaign turned a drive into a story of legacy
In a market saturated with automotive campaigns built around horsepower and glossy finishes, Nissan Dubai took a different route in their latest campaign. The Patrol Path, a curated weekend getaway, wasn't about sleek finishes or specs – it was about movement, memory, and meaning. Research shows that the region's rising generation of adventure-seekers and culture-shapers want campaigns that don't just sell but stand for something real. At its core, the Patrol Path campaign explored how legacy isn't built in isolation but shaped through shared experience and connection. The campaign honoured the enduring role of the Patrol in the UAE. The creative vision was designed not just to highlight the car, but to echo the stories of those who've lived, led, and grown alongside it by drawing inspiration from local culture, the rhythm of the land, and the untold stories off the path. Hussam Baghdadi Senior Director, Arabian Automobiles shared, 'The Patrol Path wasn't just a drive, it became a powerful tribute to the spirit of leadership, the roots of legacy, and the roads that connect us all.' The result? A campaign that wasn't just told, but experienced. It generated over 330+ social media stories, with 2.2+ million organic and earned reach, and an estimated $320,000 in PR value. But more than numbers, it tapped into something emotional: the spirit of the Patrol and the pulse of the UAE. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ai Lee Syarief | Coach (@chopsueylee) The patrol path: more than a campaign The campaign was conceived and brought to life by ComCo Middle East and Africa, who served as the creative and activation partner. ComCo orchestrated the collaboration between Nissan Dubai, Gravity Calisthenics Gym, JA Hatta Fort Hotel, and Fujifilm Instax Middle East – bringing together diverse partners to deliver a seamless campaign that celebrated adventure. It unfolded in two acts, each designed to turn brand storytelling into lived experience. Leadership and legacy was a heritage road trip shaped by Emirati voices, while power and performance delivered movement, aligned with the Dubai Fitness Challenge and brought memory first stories. It began with a convoy of 22 media and and adrenaline-seeking participants setting off from Nissan's Sharjah showroom. Supported by the Sharjah Media Council, the route featured cultural pit stops that offered moments of pause and perspective. Highlights included an abandoned gas station frozen in time, the Khalid Al Huriya public kitchen, and the historic Shees Market, each moment offering a glimpse into the rich stories present across Sharjah's landscape. Then came the real test, off-roading through the dramatic terrain of Hatta, led by seasoned off-road expert Mahmoud Al Jaffrawi, better known as Dr. Motor. With his guidance setting the pace, the Nissan Patrol rose to the challenge, navigating steep climbs, rugged paths, and sharp descents with effortless confidence, a living reminder of why it remains a trusted companion for the bold and the curious. As dusk approached, the crew pulled into the serene JA Hatta Fort Hotel for an evening of reconnection and reflection. The next morning began with a grounding inversion and stretch session led by Gravity Calisthenics Gym, followed by energising outdoor activities curated by JA Hatta Fort Hotel. A story told through many lenses Each participant received a Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 in their Patrol Pack, encouraging them to document the experience through their own lens. 'By integrating INSTAX cameras into each guest's 'Patrol Pack', the event encouraged participants to document their journey in a uniquely personal way, reinforcing the brand's belief in the power of self-expression and memory-making. From nostalgic pit-stops to cultural touchpoints and moments of self-reflection, every aspect of the experience offered an authentic canvas for storytelling – not through scripted narratives, but through the eyes and emotions of each participant,' says Gopal Sudhakaran, Marketing Operations Manager, Grand Stores. From printed memories at nostalgic pit-stops to spontaneous reflections in motion, the campaign became a patchwork of personal stories. The cameras weren't just tools for content – they were portals for connection. After a day of culture, heritage, and off-roading, the convoy of Patrols pulled into JA Hatta Fort Hotel – a true embodiment of nostalgia and nature. JA Hatta Fort Hotel, first opened in 1981 and is a piece of UAE's history. 'Being part of this journey felt like a natural fit for us. The Nissan Patrol is such an iconic brand in the UAE and across the GCC. As much as it is a symbol of adventure, reliability, and heritage, in many ways, Hatta holds a similar place in people's hearts. It's where generations have come to disconnect from the bustle of city life and reconnect with nature, culture, and community. Both are timeless in their own way, bringing a sense of character, nostalgia, and authenticity that have become central to how outdoor enthusiasts and many others experience the UAE,' shares Deborah, the Cluster GM of JA Hatta Fort Hotel and Terra Cabins. Gravity Calisthenics CalisGym, Dubai's first calisthenics and movement gym challenged participants to connect strength and story. They brought sessions focused on inversion, mobility, and mindful movement to day two of the Patrol Path. Guests were guided through routines that challenged their physical boundaries while also mirroring the emotional and cultural depth of the campaign. 'Our participation was inspired by the synergy between Nissan Patrol's legacy of resilience and our mission to redefine fitness through natural movement. Hosting physical sessions during the campaign added a tangible layer to the message; it showed that leadership starts with showing up, moving intentionally, and building strength from the inside out,' said Yousef Al Gurg, Founder of Gravity Calisthenics Gym. 'Bringing that to The Patrol Path allowed us to align with Nissan's heritage message in a very real, very physical way. Leadership begins with how you carry yourself.' Reflections that resonate Influencer marketing was integral to the campaign but it wasn't just transactional, it was transformational. Every guest selected, and every brand partnered in the campaign brought a unique voice, not for reach alone, but for relevance, sincerity, and storytelling power. 'The response from our community was overwhelmingly positive. Many saw it as a bold and authentic collaboration that bridged adventure, lifestyle, and fitness. It sparked conversations around legacy not just in terms of cars or branding, but in how we carry and challenge ourselves daily. Members appreciated having their fitness journeys cross paths with the Nissan Patrol, while this may not be the most obvious of cross-overs, the synergies identified by participants were numerous,' says Gurg. Across Instagram, LinkedIn, and press coverage participants shared, reflected, and celebrated what the campaign stood for. Some of the strongest engagement came from quieter moments such as reconnecting with one's roots at a local kitchen stop.

It invited people to move, to listen, to reflect – and, ultimately, to lead.
