WE Irish are known for our hospitality - and this Cork man brought that famous spirit all the way to the Middle East.
Liam Murphy was soaking up the sights of Abu Dhabi while on a work trip to the United Arab Emirates and decided to make the most of his trip and drop by the Ferrari World theme park at the weekend.
On the way there, Murphy got chatting to his taxi driver Shakiha.
As they travelled along the sandy roads of Abu Dhabi, Shakiha told Murphy about his life - how he had been living in Dubai for 14 years, sending money back to his family in India.
Despite living in the country for this long, Shakiha had never set foot in the Ferrari World theme park.
After finding out that Shakiha would have to sit outside the theme park until his customers were finished, Murphy told Shakiha to come inside the park with him.
Coughing up 250AED - about £44 - of his own money, Murphy treated Shakiha to a full day out in the park.
After their day of fun in the theme park, Murphy bought Shakiha some pizza on the way back to top it all off.
