The finest Arabica creations are served at an extraordinary coffeehouse in Dubai, surrounded by a variety of exclusive Porsche models. An appointment with delectable samples in the Middle East.
Let’s begin with a brief onomatopoetic exercise: pronouncing the word DRVN out loud. Start with a soft, sonorous D, then roll the R gently, allow the V to vibrate across your lips, and pronounce the N with a lingering hum. And don’t forget to put a little extra oomph into it. What does it sound like? Exactly. It’s reminiscent of the incomparably powerful sound of a Porsche – wonderfully dynamic and energetic, driven by passion.
“No other name would do,” says Rashed Al Fahim, the founder of DRVN, which is a unique mix of a coffee shop, an automotive gallery, and a concept store in Dubai. In fall 2021, the 31-year-old businessman from Abu Dhabi opened the coffeehouse on Bluewaters Island off the coast of Dubai Marina. Located just a stone’s throw from the Dubai Eye, the world’s largest Ferris wheel, the unique attraction soon caught the attention of the sports car manufacturer based in Zuffenhausen, which entered into a partnership with Al Fahim. Now the cafe name features the “by Porsche” add-on.

And you can see exactly why on the inside, where classic Porsche models are exhibited in glass boxes, surrounded by lounge areas and espresso machines. In a matter of weeks, DRVN by Porsche developed into a popular destination for tourists and expats alike, attracting up to 800 guests on good days.
