Tesla is expected to officially launch its operations in Dubai next week, and who better to make the announcement than the co-founder and CEO of the Premium Electric Sedans and SUV manufacturer, Elon Musk himself.

The announcement is expected to happen at the Armani Hotel on the 13th of February. 

In the run-up to the occasion, the Tesla website has already started offering job opportunities in Dubai, calling for talents of all sorts.

Musk is in the emirate to attend the World Government Summit, a global platform for innovative and creative minds.

But, seeing all the news on the Dubai Hyperloop, we can't help but wonder... Could Musk have another exciting announcement up his sleeve?

Musk first thought up the Hyperloop in 2013, a high-speed train that  could potentially reach speeds of 1,280 kph. It made headlines back then only to reemerge in August of 2016, with the possibility of the very first Hyperloop happening in Dubai.

CEO of Hyperloop One, the company in charge of developing Musk's open-source technology, Rob Lloyd, said, "[Dubai's] got the infrastructure, regulatory movement and kind of capital in place needed to build it already."

It wasn't long after that the extremely fast train started to become a more widely accepted notion the world over especially after a global challenge was launched.  

Participants were encouraged to propose various comprehensive commercial, transport, economic and policy case for their cities, regions or countries to potentially host the first hyperloop networks.  

Imagine how much easier traveling would be if the world adopted the system. In the Gulf alone it could mean getting to your destination in a matter of minutes rather than hours. 

A Dubai to Riyadh trip would take 48 minutes, Dubai to Abu Dhabi would take 12 minutes, Dubai to Doha would take 23 minutes and Dubai to Muscat would take 27 minutes. 

Around the world in 80 days? Try 80 minutes.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi has been creating buzz on social media every since The Times of London added it to the top 10 most anticipated establishments to look forward to this year. 

Since then, speculation has arisen over when the museum would be open to the public, since its original date of completion was set in 2012.  

Their twitter account has been answering people's questions, saying the opening date should be public soon. 

The Louvre Abu Dhabi was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel. It was structured in a way that the building itself would be a sight to behold, not just what's inside. 

The most impressive part of the building is its dome. The dome allows sun to filter through using it's web-patterned structure, which was designed to represent sunlight filtering through the palm trees of an oasis; very fitting for the UAE.

The light feature is called the Rain of Light, and it will be unique to the Abu Dhabi Louvre. 

As for what's inside the museum, the Louvre will be displaying around 600 exhibits, according to the National, including Piet Mondrian’s painting Composition with Blue, Red, Yellow and Black, Picasso’s Portrait of a Lady, and Paul Gaugin’s Children Wrestling, which will be permanently held at the museum. 

Manuel Rabate, the museum's first director, said these painting are "the identity of the Louvre Abu Dhabi." 

The new Louvre branch will also including 13 French loans from museums such as the Musee du Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, the Musee d’Orsay and the Musee National des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet. 

About the loans, Rabate said, "This is the richness of the collection and the richness of the Louvre Abu Dhabi."
