A DATE WITH PORSCHES IN THE DESERT

When in Dubai, always expect to be mindblown! And that's exactly what happened to me at the Icons of Porsche 2025.

I have seen and driven Porsches before, but it's always just one Porsche at a time. So when I entered the Design District in Dubai on Saturday November 22, I was just speechless, in awe, and excited like a small child trying to capture pictures and videos of every car in my phone! Wherever I looked, all I could see was Porsche after Porsche - a Porsche Heaven quite literally!

It was a carnival for Porschephiles! There was something for everyone. I truly felt like I was there living my best life. With great music, iconic cars, colourful atmosphere, very tempting food and drink stalls, art shops, interactive activities to take memories back home and a lot more. Over 30,000 people showed up in two days and I had the privilege to have time to ogle at some of the most iconic Porsches ever made – all thanks to the Porsche India and Middle East team.

I knew I was in for clocking some really good numbers of walking time during these two days. Even in the scorching heat, I was out there trying to check out every car from various model lines. Yet two days were not enough! It left me wanting more time there. So let me take on a drive and show you my favourites from the 5th edition of the Icons of Porsche.
