Dubai, Straight-Up for i-D
January 31, 2026
i-D Magazine’s Dubai Straight-Up photographed and written by Tamara Tesfai
Dubai is home to a culture and people shaped by migration and displacement, living between cultures, accents, languages, and passports. Each person a mosaic of the cultures that surrounded them. It’s more than what can be seen on the surface or afar on social media. For an insider perspective from a city of relocated locals, we sent photographer @shotbytamara to capture Dubai, Straight-Up style.
