Say privet to Egor Sharay, a Dubai-based media maven, cultural analyst, and all-around storytelling powerhouse with a knack for decoding the UAE’s ever-evolving creative scene.
With over 16 years of editorial wizardry under his belt, Egor isn’t just another journalist – he’s been shaping narratives long before it was trending. From his early days at Rush (2008–2012), to his standout roles at Aviamost (2012–2018) and Concierge Magazine (2018–2022), he carved out a space as one of the first professional Russian-speaking editors in Dubai’s media universe. Talk about trailblazing.
In 2021, his cultural contributions were officially knighted with the UAE Cultural Golden Visa (yes, the fancy one), courtesy of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority – a golden stamp reserved for creatives who leave a mark.
Egor’s journalistic lens is sharp, stylish, and always on point – whether he’s sitting down with VIPs like HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum or unpacking the layered identities of the region’s rising creatives. His interviews read like masterclasses in diplomacy, design, and deep thinking.
Oh, and did we mention he’s also an author? His debut book, Dubai – The Art of Wealth (2025), dives headfirst into the rich intersections of art, tech, education, and cultural identity.
Bottom line? Egor doesn’t just report culture – he is culture. Welcome to the BURO fam!
