The Readers’ Choice Awards are the banner event on the Condé Nast Traveller Middle East calendar, and I was thrilled to host a beautiful ceremony on the lawns of the new Raffles The Palm Dubai.

Inside the issue, I also wrote about a South African road trip, wildlife tours in Iran, Susan Sarandon’s travel style, Tanzanian fashion designer Doreen Mashika, and much more.
