It's Dubai, and all across the Miracle City its multitudinous inhabitants are preparing for Eid.
Hakim, a Pakistani taxi driver is whizzing through the streets. Patrick, a Ugandan security guard has aspirations of becoming a writer. Farida, a Moroccan beautician is hoping for a fresh start. And finally, Saeed, a respected Emirati journalist has just arrived home from London.
As the last few days of Ramadan pass, each is busy with their own story, yet unknown to them, the city is weaving them together.
Told through a series of interlinked and moving short stories, Minutes from the Miracle City is a poetic tour-de-force, and offers a unique perspective of the virtuoso project that is Dubai.
