So, here’s a little insight into where I spend most of my week. The Edelman office is a 25-person operation near Khalifa Park – not downtown but not far out in the suburbs. So, it’s a nice mix and only 15-minute cab ride from our apartment. Many people commute much farther from Dubai, as the housing is cheaper there…but it comes with an hour and a half commute in the morning and an hour back at night.

The open-office plan isn’t something I’m used to, but it facilitates a lot of conversation and collaboration!
