Why this site exists
Five steps, start to finish
-
01
A short conversation
Ten or fifteen minutes on the telephone about what you drive now, what you want from the visit, how far you are comfortable walking and whether anyone is coming with you. Most questions are answered in that call, and a good number of people need nothing further.
-
02
A written plan
If a session or a walk makes sense, you receive a plain written outline: what is covered, which event, what it costs in dirhams, what is not included and how long it will take. Nothing is booked from that outline until you confirm it in your own words.
-
03
The day itself
Planning sessions happen in the DIFC office or by telephone. Walks and lawn mornings happen at the venue, starting at a named meeting point away from the entrance crush, with the pace set by the slowest walker in the group.
-
04
Notes you can use
Everybody leaves with written notes rather than impressions: a sheet for each car seen, the answers given by technical staff, and the questions that remain open for a test drive. These are the notes that make the decision possible weeks later.
-
05
A quiet follow-up
One short call within the week to go through anything that has settled or shifted since the visit. If the next step is a test drive or a shortlist, that is arranged then. If the next step is doing nothing for a while, that is a perfectly good outcome too.
Group sizes are small by choice: never more than twelve on a hall walk and usually fewer on a lawn morning. If a session is cancelled by us, anything paid is returned in full.
What can be arranged
Practical help around a show visit
These are small, personal services built around the exhibition calendar in Dubai. Group sizes are deliberately small, sessions are unhurried, and nothing here involves selling a car or passing your details to anyone who does. All prices are indicative and confirmed before anything is booked.
The main subject of this site
Show guides
Six long guides to the exhibition and luxury show side of motoring in Dubai, from the first visit to a crowded hall through to the shortlist you write afterwards. Each one is written to be read once, slowly, and then used.
Take the next show slowly
If there is an exhibition, a lawn morning or a preview evening you are thinking about, a short conversation beforehand usually makes the difference between a tiring day and a memorable one. Nothing is sold and nothing is arranged until you say so.
