Middle East Podcast

Next up in our Leading Ladies series is Saina Babaee, the Middle East Vice President of Controls & Digitalisation at Siemens & founder of ILÁI SARÁI, a Persianate luxury lifestyle brand. We join her for a day in her life, starting with a breathwork session with her coach, followed by a tour of her home & art collection. She takes us through her bio-hacking routine, from her gut health secrets to the hangover cures she swears by, before she takes us on a tour of her incredible wardrobe, with standout pieces from brands like Mrs Keepa, Rotate, Fendi, McQueen, Magda Butrym & more. We then get an insight into her career, with an office tour at Siemens HQ, followed by a lunch at Maison Revka where we meet her muse & celebrity photographer, Kaye Khousheh Alagband. We then head to Alserkal Avenue to check out her pieces that are being sold in Montroi, and pop into shop at The Edit & Oriental 499. They finish the day with a cold plunge & sauna session at Peaq Wellness Club, followed by dinner & a cocktail at Mimi Kakushki.
