… I think it would be the ability to time travel. Miles, our brainbox on all things Abu Dhabi, and I have debated this several times. At each debate we hotly contest the important questions, such as whether the greatest advantage would come from superhuman speed, invisibility or the ability to fly. And every time we draw the same conclusion: that time travel is the elite superpower. I'd relish at the opportunity to see into my own future, and delight at being able to witness some of history's most defining moments. And I'd finally know if - as Brit boyband Busted once suggested – humans will be living underwater in the year 3000.
The reason I'm talking about this, is because it might just be the inspiration for my Comic Con costume this year, which returns to the capital in full force this month. The region's biggest pop culture festival is the perfect excuse to, as they say it, geek your heart out. We don't need telling twice. Join us there on p14.
But as always, Abu Dhabi's got more than just one mega event to entertain us this month. Whether you're a house fan or an urban music lover, two of the world's biggest festivals bring the volume to Etihad Park this March. First up, DJ legends like Calvin Harris and Skrillex headline Ultra Abu Dhabi. Then it's the turn of some of urban music's biggest stars to make some noise at Wireless Abu Dhabi. Your complete festival guide is on p23.
Enjoy the issue,
