Below, four other #AbuDhabi residents share why they left the city, but then quickly felt compelled to return.

Loved writing this for @khaleejtimes ♥️
"The pandemic turned so many people’s lives upside down, including my own," writes Harriet Shephard for #KhaleejTimes. "I missed having friends from every corner of the world, the safety, the opportunities, and Abu Dhabi’s welcoming and inclusive community." khaleejtimes.com/uae/it-felt…

A tweet about a golf course for a change. Groundbreaking 😜 @CJ_Bertram
In February I was privileged to play the first-ever round on Terras da Comporta's Dunas course with @DavidMcLayKidd & @conorWalsh11. My take on it is in the new issue of Today's Golfer & the opening spread is below. The full article, though, is here... shorturl.at/kuvzG

Who could ever get bored of golf course rankings? 🫠
There’s a Top 200 English courses list out today from @TheTodaysGolfer. It really shows the depth of good golf in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Any surprises here for you? I spoke to editor @CJ_Bertram about how he compiles these lists. You can read what he had to say here - ukgolfguy.com/golf-blog/chri…

Freak weather frustratingly washed out the pro tournament but still a brilliant trip to @constancehotels Belle Mare Plage for the @euLegendsTour season climax - including the celebrity final. Even made some new friends.

Known as a ‘#seacow’ due to its love for foraging on #seagrass beds, there are about 3,000 of these harmless #seamammals living in the #emirate’s waters writes @HSShephard bit.ly/3IEMITS #Culture #TheWeeklyMemo #WhatsontheMemo

Very well done 👏 I’ll even look over the lack of a byline for my transcribing help 🤷‍♀️💻
The GB&I T100 is out & highest-ever places for Dornoch, N Berwick, Swinley, Cruden Bay, Woking & Brora indicate its themes. In my biased opinion the features are the strength of the 84 pages & make the mag worth buying - I learnt lots working on them & think most others would too

It’s no secret that the #UAE capital is home to a vast array of unique #wildlife, but still, the fact that #AbuDhabi has the second largest dugong population in the world is nothing short of amazing writes @HSShephard bit.ly/3IEMITS #Culture #TheWeeklyMemo
