Vivenea Lounge
2024 Dec 04
Before visiting Vivenea, I made the classic rookie mistake of copying the address from Google Maps directly into my Uber app - a definite "thing not to do in Riyadh." This resulted in a 5 km detour in the opposite direction on Al Olaya Street, followed by a 10 km ride back to the correct location. Lesson learned: always double-check your destination!

Once I finally arrived, Vivenea proved to be worth the extra miles. The lounge is loud, dynamic, and well-managed, offering a lively atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere in the city. Their late-night European fusion cuisine is a delight, with a menu that caters to a variety of tastes.

What really adds to the ambiance is the availability of hookah and shisha, which serves as a fragrant reminder of where you are. The swirling aromatic smoke and the social ritual around it make the experience uniquely Middle Eastern, blending seamlessly with the modern lounge setting.

Riyadh's nightlife scene is evolving rapidly, blending traditional Arab hospitality with international trends. Places like Vivenea are at the forefront of this transformation, providing unique experiences that appeal to both locals and visitors.

If you're looking for a spot to unwind, enjoy good food, music, and perhaps a shisha session, Vivenea is definitely worth a visit - just make sure you provide the destination correctly, even if it's in a language or characters you don't understand.
Five Guys
2024 Oct 19
I’ve been to countless burger joints around the world, but the Five Guys in Marlborough, just west of Boston, stands out every time. Now, I’m not sure if it’s my personal enthusiasm for the Five Guys chain - arguably one of the best out there for burgers, fries, and shakes - or if it’s just this specific location. Either way, this place consistently delivers top-notch service and food.

Five Guys is known for its perfectly crispy fries and juicy burgers, and this store takes it to another level. The service here is always on point, and the food is made fresh, just like you’d expect. Sure, I’ve seen a few negative reviews from frustrated keyboard warriors, angry because their pickles were soft or their fries weren’t as piping hot as they'd like. But seriously, are we really seeking revenge for things like that? Get a life and let these hardworking people keep doing what they do best!

Every time I visit, I leave happy, full, and impressed with both the quality of the food and the friendly service. Thanks, Five Guys in Marlborough, for always being the best. If you’re in the area, skip the delivery and experience it in person - you won’t regret it.
Fairs, expositions, global meeting events and a lot of hotels and events around. Dubai has become the mecca of business, and not only of turism. Being a global spot for a lot of nations, and accessible to almost any passport, Dubai, and world trade center in it has become the core.
Underated airport, getting better each year. Not much to do in it, but it's fast and organized.
