DRVN Bluewaters

DRVN by Porsche opened its doors for the first time on Bluewaters Island and welcomed its first guests into its highly unique space. The stylish two-storey café is a specialty coffee shop, pizzeria, restaurant and most notably, a car museum. Currently, DRVN is home to three classic Porsche cars, including an original 1948 Porsche 356 “No. 1” Roadster, a 1978 Porsche 935/78 ‘Moby Dick’, and a 1970 Porsche 911 S 2.2 Targa. These vehicles have never been seen outside of Porsche events and are on display in the UAE for the first time.

Cars and the Gram!

Emirati ex-pilot Rashed Al Fahim founded the coffee-meets-cars concept, while RMAL Hospitality handles the consulting and development. Al Fahim wanted to combine his love for coffee, Napoletana pizza and rare cars.“We made sure every angle of this venue was Instagrammable. Whether it’s the colours, the interiors, the food and of course, the cars. The first thing people do when they walk in is to pull out their phones to take pictures of the cars,” Elias Madbak the Managing Director of RMAL Hospitality

“What I love most about the DRVN brand, is that it really is an evolutionary brand, this is our third location for the brand and by far my favourite iteration. Each location gets better and better as we develop them”
