Watch: Kids arriving at DXB get souvenir 'passports' to help them explore city
As the summer heat intensifies in Dubai, crafting an engaging itinerary can be challenging for visitors, with most outdoor attractions becoming virtually inaccessible. To help those coming to the emirate make the best of their stay, Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, has announced that children arriving at Dubai International Airport (DXB) will receive souvenir 'passports' to help them navigate the vibrant city that thrives all year round. In a video shared by Dubai Media Office on X, kids arriving at Children's Passport Control are shown as they receive their passport from officers, shake hands with airport officials before getting their real travel documents stamped. Take a look here: Dialling up the excitement surrounding the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign, Brand Dubai and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs partner to highlight the very best of Dubaiâ��s summertime experiences for visitors. @BrandDubai | @GDRFADUBAI — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) July 25, 2025 The colourful passports serve as a guide for young visitors to explore the city, providing them with curated itineraries and interactive guides. By using a QR code in the passport, kids will be directed to Dubai Destinations website for guidance on where to go and what to do in Dubai this summer. The initiative is the fruit of collaboration between Brand Dubai and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). Special immigration counters dedicated for children were set up at DXB Terminals 1, 2 and 3 in 2023 to make the arrival process 'more enjoyable and interactive' for children aged between 4 and 12. More than 550,000 children have passed through these counters since they were first opened, GDRFA announced last year.

Nature's most underrated ally in the climate change fight is thriving in the UAE
Just beyond Dubai's skyscrapers and busy streets lies a five-square-mile wetland reserve that is a vital seasonal habitat for migratory birds. Earlier this month, the Dubai Executive Council approved a Dh650 million ($177 million) development plan for the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, as the reserve is known. And at the heart of this vision are trees – specifically, mangrove trees. The sanctuary is already home to thousands of mangrove trees, but it is in need of revival – which the new development plan does in addition to sustainably increasing its coverage area by 60 per cent. That's not just good news for birds and marine life; it's a bold bet on nature's most underrated ally in the fight against climate change. Countries are beginning to realise the massive untapped value of mangroves. They are nature's coastal bodyguards, buffering shorelines from storms and cyclones, reducing soil erosion and protecting against rising sea levels. Their tangled roots capture carbon dioxide – up to five times more than tropical rainforests – making them one of the planet's most powerful carbon sinks. Mangroves are also fish nurseries, bird sanctuaries and water filters. In the UAE, they provide critical breeding grounds for commercially important fish species such as mullet and sea bream. Ras Al Khor itself hosts over 450 species of wildlife, including large flocks of beautiful flamingos that rely on the mangroves and surrounding wetlands. Drones powered by AI are already being used in the UAE to plant and monitor mangroves at scale For coastal communities in the Global South, mangroves offer food security, income and natural protection all at once. Villages protected by mangroves have suffered significantly fewer casualties and damages during tsunamis and cyclones compared to those without them. These trees provide us with more benefits per square metre than any other ecosystem. The UAE sits at the crossroads of Asia and Africa which together host over 60 per cent of the world's remaining mangroves. This geographic position makes the Emirates a natural hub for mangrove conservation, knowledge exchange and restoration expertise. The government has already committed to planting 100 million mangroves by 2030, and this Ras Al Khor initiative is a major down payment on that promise. The country has become a hub for the wider industry associated with promoting the cultivation and spread of mangroves around the world. Large-scale, carbon-financed projects are being developed in the UAE and rolled out across Africa and Asia. The company is currently developing restoration and conservation projects on a coastal area similar in size to Luxembourg. NGOs like Emirates Nature-WWF and international players such as the IUCN are also active or headquartered in the UAE. The end result is a cluster that promotes knowledge-sharing and, ultimately, contributes to the fight against climate change in a niche, but nonetheless really impactful way. A single hectare of healthy mangroves can deliver the equivalent of nearly $33,000 per year in ecosystem services. This includes coastal protection, fisheries support, carbon sequestration and tourism benefits. Scale that up to the tens of thousands of hectares possible in the UAE and regionally, and you could be looking at a multi-billion-dollar nature economy. Mangroves also open the door to high-integrity carbon credits. As demand for nature-based carbon removal projects continue to rise, countries that can supply verified, high-quality blue carbon credits will stand to benefit. The UAE, with its ecosystem restoration commitments and home-grown blue carbon project developers, is perfectly placed to play a leading role in this marketplace. Historically, restoring mangroves has been slow, messy, and expensive. But that's changing fast. AI is now being used to map mangrove health, monitor growth and predict where restoration will succeed. Satellite imagery paired with machine learning can track seedling survival and carbon storage in real time. Drones powered by AI are already being deployed in the UAE to plant and monitor mangroves at scale. AI-powered tools are being used to map mangrove health, monitor growth and design community-led restoration projects that have the highest probability of success – saving time, money and effort. This innovation recently enabled the planting of 10 million mangroves at multiple sites in Mozambique in just three years. The UAE, with its tech-forward mindset and AI ambitions, could become a global hub for cutting edge nature-based solutions. With the right data infrastructure and policy support, mangrove forest restoration could become faster, cheaper and more transparent than ever. The Ras Al Khor announcement is a powerful moment for the UAE's mangrove ecosystem, and also a reminder to keep pushing to scale up. Indeed, the UAE has an opportunity to not only conserve existing mangrove forests but to lead a global mangrove renaissance. That means doubling down on science-based restoration using AI and satellite tech and continuing to draw investment in knowledge, training and project development. If done right, mangroves can become one of the UAE's most powerful climate assets. And that is the case not only for their value in biodiversity, but for coastal resilience, climate jobs and long-term economic stability. What's happening in the wetlands on the outskirts of Dubai provides a glimpse into an exciting future for the UAE and mangroves globally.

UAE Property: ‘How can I increase summer occupancy in my RAK rental unit?'
Question: I am buying an apartment in Ras Al Khaimah and want to rent it out for short-term rentals soon. How can I optimise summer occupancy and which local regulations must I adhere to? MP, Dubai Answer: Ras Al Khaimah is fast becoming a destination of choice, not just as a go-to staycation destination for the UAE holiday market, but also for longer-term visitors and tourists. With the arrival of the Wynn Al Marjan Island resort in 2026/2027, the emirate is likely to become more popular as a short-term destination. Here are a few things to remember and adhere to. By law, all tenancy contracts in RAK must be registered through the RAK Municipality e-portal. The fee is Dh25 ($6.8) plus 5 per cent of the annual rent. Unregistered contracts are unenforceable, stripping landlords of eviction rights and security deposit recourse. Standard residential leases are allowed up to four-year terms, but short-term leases of say two to four months must still comply with the Rent Act's eviction notice requirement, which is a minimum 90 days, and the security deposit rule, which is 5 per cent of the annual rent. Offer two- to four-month summer lets bundled with free utilities, complimentary AC servicing and optional maid services. UAE residents that enjoy staycations value turnkey, worry-free stays. List on leading short-let platforms such as Airbnb, local short-term rental agents and collaborate with GCC-focused travel agencies to tap into regional leisure traffic. Ensure your unit is presented in the best possible fashion by furnishing with high-quality appliances, blackout curtains, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a dedicated workspace to attract both families and remote working professionals seeking respite from the summer heat. Employ revenue management software to adjust nightly or weekly rates based on occupancy forecasts or get comparable data from portals and local holiday home agents. Look out for any local events that will potentially capture higher premiums. Conduct professional cleaning and safety inspections between tenancies to maintain high review scores. Offer flexible check-in/out times and transparent cancellation policies to build guest trust. Monitor competitor rates regularly to ensure your pricing remains competitive without eating into your yield. By combining regulatory compliance with targeted marketing and professional service levels, part-time RAK landlords can boost summer occupancy from roughly 45 per cent (unmanaged) to over 75 per cent, capturing premium short-let rates and maximising annual income. Watch: Businesswoman moves from Dubai to RAK to find some quiet Q: I would be interested to understand what are the emerging areas in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah in terms of capital appreciation, rental yields and which developers I should work with? CP, Sharjah A: While Dubai commands the headlines, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are quietly delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns in well-priced, master-planned communities. I will list below some top picks that I think combine credible developer track records, infrastructure momentum and balanced capital appreciation. Starting with Abu Dhabi, the main master developer is Aldar. Some of its main projects are: Al Reem Island: Boasting a 7.2 per cent year-on-year price rise in the first quarter of 2025 and gross rental yields of 7.6 per cent for apartments, Al Reem Island blends waterfront views with high-street retail. The Central Market and Gate Towers precincts have strong presales, minimising completion risk and ensuring pipeline transparency. Yas Island: Driven by entertainment megaprojects such as Warner Bros, Ferrari World, Sea World, Yas Waterworld and the Yas Mall expansion, luxury apartments command 6.5 per cent to 7 per cent yields, with prices up 6.6 per cent in early 2025. The upcoming first Disney World in the Middle East will further elevate property prices and demand for both long- and short-term rentals. Al Ghadeer: A reclaimed land community by Aldar located on the Dubai-Abu Dhabi border, it offers entry-level pricing (sub-Dh1 million studios) and yields near 9.9 per cent, underpinned by affordable payment plans and infrastructural upgrades connecting to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Main projects in Sharjah include: Aljada by Arada: This is a fully integrated town centre featuring three schools, 25,000 residential units, a 4.4-kilometre retail boulevard, hotels and public plazas, along with large green spaces and family entertainment areas. Aljada's off-plan apartments yield 5 per cent to 7 per cent, with an expected 7.5 per cent return on investment on handover. Arada's track record of delivering three large-scale projects on time adds to investor and end-user confidence. Tilal City (Sharjah Asset Management): Modelled on Mediterranean lagoons, Tilal City's early studio and one-bedroom launches delivered 6 per cent to 8 per cent yields, with mid-teen capital growth forecast as schools, clinics and malls open next year. Maryam Island: Launched in 2024, this waterfront mixed-use island has seen soft-launch price uplifts of around 8 per cent within six months and yields of around 6 per cent. This is driven by Sharjah's tourism push and the project's proximity to the Corniche.
