The imposing backdrop of monumental Arabian architecture provides a formidable distraction for any car, and the brightly-colored Ferraris and Porsches sitting on the other side of the front courtyard seemed like interlopers from another world.
In contrast, the white Maybach limousine looked totally at ease in these majestic surroundings, calmly waiting for its VIP passengers to embark and be driven away in style.
Where blue skies prevail, such in the Middle East, white cars come to life.

The test routes for the day suggested by our host involved either a tour through Dubai and on to the Bab Al Shams, the desert-based sister hotel of the Al Qasr, or a longer drive to the seven- star Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, the neighboring United Arab Emirate.
As I had been to Dubai twice before, staying at the Bab Al Shams last time round, this option held little interest. But the chance to visit the Emirates Palace Hotel, touted as the largest and most luxurious hotel in the world, piqued my curiosity. Being conveyed from the Al Qasr to the Emirates Palace by Maybach 62S was icing on the cake in terms of both style and substance.
Human beings are very sensitive to their environment. Feeling at
home in a particular place is very important to one’s state of mind;
conferring calm and a sense of well-being. From this comes the ability
to think rationally and productively. And to be inspired.
