In a move that's resonating across the UAE, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has introduced a more empowering title for women on official documents, and that's “Generation Shaper.” And it all started with a powerful Mother's Day message.

The skies over the region may have faced serious turbulence recently, but Gulf airlines are proving they're built for resilience. Following a period marked by airspace closures, direct attacks on airport infrastructure, and a sharp drop in travel demand, airlines across the region have continued to operate wherever possible, and now, they're steadily finding their way back.

Dubai has never been shy about doing things bigger, better, and let's be honest… a little more fabulous. But over the past few years, the city's definition of “luxury” has been quietly evolving. It's no longer just marble floors and gold accents; it's about how something feels. Like slower mornings, softer lighting, and spaces that actually let you breathe.

Dubai is no stranger to big ideas, bold creativity and… let's be honest, a pretty fast-paced career scene.

There's something about museums that just hits differently, the stories, the heritage, that feeling of being connected to something bigger than yourself.

Dubai foodies, this one's about to transport your tastebuds straight to Sri Lanka. Silk Lantern is bringing “Ceylon On A Plate” to the city… a limited-time food festival celebrating the rich flavours, culture, and stories behind Sri Lankan cuisine.

If your Eid plans are currently sitting somewhere between “staycation again?” and “someone book me a beach immediately”… this might be your sign. Because it's just a short flight from Dubai, there's a destination quietly levelling up the whole Eid getaway experience, and it's giving desert drama, island energy, and luxury on another level.

Buying a pre-owned car can often feel like a gamble. However, with the launch of the new certified pre-owned Jetour program in Dubai, that perception is set to change. Designed to deliver complete transparency and elevated customer experience.
