A city reveals its ambitions not only through the height of its buildings. It also reveals them through what happens inside. The chair in a hotel lobby. The lighting above a restaurant table. The materials inside a luxury apartment. The way an office manages sound. The objects people choose to place inside their homes. Interior […]

For more than a century, automotive maintenance revolved around mechanical components. Engines. Oil. Belts. Brakes. Filters. Gearboxes. Tyres. Those things still matter. But the modern vehicle is becoming something else as well. A computer. A battery platform. A networked device. A collection of sensors. A software system capable of receiving updates long after leaving the […]

For generations, education operated around an information problem. Teachers knew things. Books contained things. Students needed to learn those things. Artificial intelligence has disrupted that arrangement. A student can now ask a machine to explain calculus. Translate a paragraph. Summarise a chapter. Generate practice questions. Analyse a document. Write code. Brainstorm an essay. Create an […]

Cities usually encourage healthier lifestyles through advice. Exercise more. Walk instead of drive. Spend less time sitting. Take care of your health. Dubai Fitness Challenge takes a different approach. It turns the advice into a citywide event. From 31 October to 29 November 2026, residents and visitors are invited to commit to 30 minutes of […]

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has announced that heavyweight world champion Vadim Nemkov will defend his title against third-ranked Sergei Bilostenniy at PFL Dubai on Saturday, 14th November, at Coca-Cola Arena.

Dubai Municipality is organising Athar, an exhibition celebrating the achievements and contributions of Emirati women and highlighting the impact of their participation across society, the economy and quality of life, as part of activities marking Emirati Women’s Day. The exhibition is being held at Hewi Nad Al Sheba from 7th to 21st September 2026. The […]

Walk through any modern city and the built environment increasingly communicates. Airport screens direct passengers. Shopping centres change promotions instantly. Hotels use digital displays. Retail stores build immersive walls of video. Road networks depend on electronic information systems. Events use enormous LED stages. Restaurants replace static menus with digital ones. From 7 to 9 December […]

Consumers increasingly want to know what is inside the products they buy. Where did the ingredients come from? How was the food produced? What chemicals are inside the cosmetic? Is the packaging sustainable? Is the product genuinely organic? Does natural actually mean anything? From 16 to 18 November 2026, many of those questions move from […]

The modern economy likes to think of itself as digital. Cloud computing. Artificial intelligence. Electric vehicles. Renewable energy. Smartphones. Data centres. The physical reality underneath those technologies is much less abstract. They all require materials. Copper. Lithium. Nickel. Rare earth elements. Graphite. Iron. Aluminium. Construction minerals. Industrial metals. From 16 to 17 November 2026, that […]

Most people experience the food industry at the supermarket shelf. A bottle. A frozen meal. A packet of biscuits. A carton of milk. A bag of coffee. What consumers rarely see is the enormous industrial system required to place those products there safely, consistently and at the right price. From 3 to 5 November 2026, […]

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers’ Club, the ninth day of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX 2026) continued to deliver a rich programme of heritage, cultural and interactive activities, attracting strong interest from […]

Together, its two venues will host 297 events, underscoring the Group’s role in delivering world-class event experiences across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, catering to both international audiences and local communities alike. ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi is […]

Cities reveal their identity through what they celebrate. Dubai celebrates a lot. National occasions. Religious festivals. International holidays. Shopping seasons. Cultural events. Sport. Food. Music. From 2 to 12 November 2026, one of the most visually distinctive celebrations returns as Dubai marks the Festival of Lights around Diwali. Fireworks. Decorations. Rangoli. Family gatherings. Shopping. Food. […]

Some of the technologies that change everyday life begin in places most people never visit. Laboratories. A new medicine begins there. Food safety testing happens there. Water quality is analysed there. Industrial materials are examined there. DNA is sequenced there. Environmental samples are measured there. Scientific claims are tested there. From 26 to 28 October […]

Dubai’s most visible infrastructure achievements are easy to recognise. Skyscrapers. Metro lines. Airports. Artificial islands. Road networks. Entire districts built within a generation. The infrastructure challenge facing the city now is becoming less visible. How will all of that development be powered? Where will water come from? How can electricity networks manage rapidly changing demand? […]

Construction is often described through what eventually becomes visible. A tower. A bridge. A hotel. A metro station. A new neighbourhood. But the real transformation of the industry happens long before the public sees the finished structure. Materials are selected. Software is used to model projects. Engineers calculate performance. Contractors coordinate thousands of tasks. New […]

One successful concert can be memorable. Returning to the same major venue ten times suggests something deeper. On 11 December 2026, pianist and composer Guy Manoukian returns to Dubai Opera for his landmark 10th performance at the venue, celebrating a musical relationship that has developed alongside Dubai Opera’s own first decade. The coincidence is appropriate. […]

Music becomes especially interesting when cultures meet without either one disappearing. On 27 November 2026, Hiba Tawaji and Ibrahim Maalouf bring À La Française to Dubai Opera, creating a musical dialogue between Arab identity, French heritage, contemporary arrangement and two very different instruments. Tawaji brings one of the Arab world’s most recognisable contemporary voices. Maalouf […]

Modern music platforms are built around categories. Pop. Jazz. Classical. Alternative. Soul. Electronic. Listeners choose a playlist and expect the music to behave accordingly. Benjamin Clementine has spent much of his career refusing that kind of simplicity. On 1 November 2026, the British singer, pianist and composer performs at Dubai Opera, bringing a body of […]

Cultural development is often easiest to see through buildings. A museum opens. A theatre appears. A cultural district expands. But the deeper transformation happens when artists begin using those institutions to create something rooted in the place itself. On 7 December 2026, Emirati soprano Fatima Al Hashimi performs at Zayed National Museum with pianist Ina […]

Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Emirates Falconers’ Club, the 23rd edition of the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX 2026), held under the theme “A Legacy of Pride”, continued to draw visitors on its seventh day at […]

The event takes place as […]

Venice has been photographed so often that it can be difficult to imagine the city differently. Canals. Gondolas. Masks. Bridges. Old palaces. Reflections in water. These images have become almost inseparable from the city’s global identity. Titizé – A Venetian Dream takes those familiar elements and moves them into a much stranger world. From 29 […]

Some music survives because it is tied to a particular place. Other music escapes geography almost completely. The GIPSY KINGS belong to the second category. Their combination of rumba flamenca, pop melody, acoustic guitars and instantly recognisable vocals has travelled across languages and generations for decades. On 22 October 2026, that sound returns to Dubai […]

Stand-up comedy becomes especially powerful when the audience is not sure where the joke ends and the real story begins. That tension has become one of Munawar Faruqui’s defining strengths. On 11 October 2026, the Indian comedian returns to Dubai Opera with an all-new Hindi-language set as part of Dubai Comedy Festival, bringing fresh stories, […]

Comedy is one of the hardest forms of entertainment to export. A song can work even when listeners do not understand every lyric. A spectacular film can cross language barriers through visuals. Sport needs almost no translation. Comedy depends on something much more fragile. Timing. Language. Cultural references. Shared assumptions. A joke that destroys a […]

Day 3 of Middle East Energy centered on the human story behind the transition, bringing together industry leaders, young innovators and policymakers for candid conversations on what’s next for global energy.

Lerato Mataboge, Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy, African Union spoke about how Africa’s energy challenge is not a lack of resources but a lack of interconnected power systems […]

Artificial intelligence is often discussed as though language were simply an interface. Ask a question. Receive an answer. Translate a sentence. Generate some text. But language is much more than a way of communicating with software. Language carries knowledge. History. Identity. Business. Education. Media. Culture. And increasingly, economic value. That broader idea sits at the […]

Cybersecurity used to be treated as a problem for the IT department. That idea is becoming dangerously outdated. A cyberattack can stop a factory. Disrupt a hospital. Expose customer information. Lock employees out of corporate systems. Interrupt government services. Compromise financial transactions. Or damage a company’s reputation within hours. That expanding risk environment forms the […]

Dubai is often described through architecture, tourism, business and technology. On 12 September 2026, the city will celebrate another part of its identity. Culture. Dubai Opera is marking its 10th anniversary with a special gala evening in its Main Auditorium, celebrating a decade of opera, orchestral music, ballet, theatre, concerts and international performance in the […]

Cryptocurrency has never struggled to produce headlines. Bitcoin rises. Bitcoin falls. A token explodes in value. An exchange launches. A regulator introduces new rules. A blockchain suffers a security incident. But beneath those daily price movements, a much larger industry has been developing. Crypto Expo Dubai 2026, taking place at Dubai World Trade Centre on […]

Dubai’s property market has become much more than a local real-estate story. International buyers are increasingly looking at the city as a place to live, invest, establish businesses and diversify property portfolios. That international interest is on display at International Property Show 2026, which concludes its three-day run at Dubai World Trade Centre on 9 […]

Dermatology has become one of the most dynamic areas of modern healthcare. The field now sits at the intersection of medicine, biotechnology, lasers, aesthetics, skincare, digital imaging and artificial intelligence. That combination comes together in Dubai from 8 to 10 September 2026 as Dubai Derma returns to Dubai World Trade Centre. The event brings dermatologists, […]

AIM Congress 2026: Why Dubai Is Becoming a Meeting Point for Global Investment Global investment is becoming more complicated. Artificial intelligence is creating new industries.

At the same time, geopolitical uncertainty […]

The insights point to a market where manufacturers are […]
