Mo Salah in Dubai: where the Egyptian football star has been dining in the UAE

The sportsman has been spotted at several Instagram-friendly Dubai locations

Egyptian footballer Mo Salah is a regular Dubai visitor.

Now, after months away from the emirate while travel was restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Liverpool forward is back in the UAE.

Since arriving last week, the footballer has been spotted out and about at several Dubai restaurants.

On August 5, a fan spotted him dining with a group at Flamingo Room by Tashas, a chic restaurant at the Jumeirah Al Naseem hotel. The scalloped walls, extravagant light fittings and zebra-print chairs were the decorative telltale giveaways that he was at the extremely Instagram-friendly venue.

The fan also pointed out his new haircut, which Salah got after Liverpool's Premier League title victory in June.

It seems that a restaurant's Instagram appeal is a factor when it comes to picking meals out, as Salah has also been spotted at Brunch & Cake, a Jumeirah 1 cafe that has been popular on the social media platform since its October 2019 opening.

At the Barcelona-export cafe, Salah was seen chatting with friends and also posted a picture of his cappuccino, which was decorated with an image of his face.

Mo Salah at Dubai malls 

It is not only restaurants in the emirate that Salah has been visiting.

He was seen wearing a face mask as he wandered near what appeared to be the entrance to The Dubai Mall. He was wearing a hoodie and black T-shirt as he smiled and posed for a fan's photo.

Proving that he is truly exploring the breadth of the city, one week ago, Salah posted a photo from Wafi, an Egyptian-themed Dubai mall in the Dubai Creek-adjacent suburb, Oud Metha.

He captioned the picture, "We really are everywhere".

Tips on buying property during a pandemic

Islay Robinson, group chief executive of mortgage broker Enness Global, offers his advice on buying property in today's market.

While many have been quick to call a market collapse, this simply isn’t what we’re seeing on the ground. Many pockets of the global property market, including London and the UAE, continue to be compelling locations to invest in real estate.

While an air of uncertainty remains, the outlook is far better than anyone could have predicted. However, it is still important to consider the wider threat posed by Covid-19 when buying bricks and mortar. 

Anything with outside space, gardens and private entrances is a must and these property features will see your investment keep its value should the pandemic drag on. In contrast, flats and particularly high-rise developments are falling in popularity and investors should avoid them at all costs.

Attractive investment property can be hard to find amid strong demand and heightened buyer activity. When you do find one, be prepared to move hard and fast to secure it. If you have your finances in order, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Lenders continue to lend and rates remain at an all-time low, so utilise this. There is no point in tying up cash when you can keep this liquidity to maximise other opportunities. 

Keep your head and, as always when investing, take the long-term view. External factors such as coronavirus or Brexit will present challenges in the short-term, but the long-term outlook remains strong. 

Finally, keep an eye on your currency. Whenever currency fluctuations favour foreign buyers, you can bet that demand will increase, as they act to secure what is essentially a discounted property.

What can you do?

Document everything immediately; including dates, times, locations and witnesses

Seek professional advice from a legal expert

You can report an incident to HR or an immediate supervisor

You can use the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation’s dedicated hotline

In criminal cases, you can contact the police for additional support
