This week on the DUBAI WORKS business podcast, Dubai based social media influencer (and much more), Sherif Fayed revealed that his goals for 2019 include launching a travel agency.

It’s refreshing to see how social media influencers build business on top of their audiences. We see a lot of talented individuals doing that here in Dubai.

Rather than thinking of a ‘travel agency’ as a thing of the past, Sherif sees it as something that can be done in a digital/social media way.

Dubai is wonderful place to be, to live, but also to be a tourist in

It would come as a surprise, if there was a single person in the city who didn’t love to travel, and we are spoiled with our location, in what feels like the centre of the world, with so many places to go.
