'Scheherazade' Revives Her Legends in a Majestic Orchestral Performance at IXSIR
At sunset on July 10 and 11, the hills of Ixsir will transform into an open-air stage for two magical evenings. More than a concert, this orchestral performance offers a fully immersive artistic experience—where every detail becomes part of a sweeping narrative of beauty and myth.
Inspired by the enchantment of One Thousand and One Nights, the performance is conceived, designed, and conducted by Lebanese-Armenian Maestro Harout Fazlian. It brings East and West into harmony, blending oriental instruments with Rimsky-Korsakov's iconic Scheherazade (1888)—a masterpiece of the Russian school known for its vivid orchestral storytelling.
Under the summer sky, the all-female Firdaus Orchestra – a pioneering initiative by ExpoCity-Dubai dedicated to empowering women through music – will take the stage with 26 professional musicians. With delicate artistry, they will weave melodies and tales into a singular moment suspended between mountains and vineyards.

UAE: 3 expats from Kerala win Dh150,000 each in Big Ticket's weekly e-draw
Three lucky winners take home Dh150,000 each in this week's Big Ticket e-draw. Suseel Kumar Chittari Thodikayil, an HR assistant from Kerala, who has been living in Saudi Arabia with his family for the past 32 years, first learned about Big Ticket five years ago through friends. Since then, the 58-year-old has been purchasing tickets along with 24 colleagues and friends. His winning ticket came through the Buy 2 Get 2 promotion. 'I came across the Buy 2 Get 2 offer during the Eid holidays and decided to take the chance and purchase the tickets. When I received the winning call, it felt completely unreal; it was such an exciting moment. I plan to split the prize with my group, and we will continue participating in upcoming draws," Suseel said. A 35-year-old sales employee from Kerala, Vishnu Unnithan, has been living in Dubai for 10 years. He has been regularly purchasing Big Ticket entries with a group of seven friends over the same period. Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. 'When I received the winning call, I was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. I plan to share the prize money with my friends and use my portion to support my family," shared Vishnu. Another expat from Kerala, Sreeja Nandakumar Yezhuvath, has been purchasing Big Tickets with her husband for the past 10 years. An Abu Dhabi resident since 2002, the couple bought tickets each month, sometimes on their own and other times with a group of friends. This time, the winning ticket was purchased by her husband just a day before the draw, without informing her. "To be honest, I was never the one really into Big Ticket, it was always my husband who made sure we bought our tickets every month. When I received the winning call, I was in complete shock and disbelief. I genuinely thought it was a scam at first. That's when my husband told me he had bought a ticket for this draw, and I was overwhelmed with happiness. It still feels like a dream. "We haven't yet decided how we'll use the prize money, but I do have a few ideas in mind, so hopefully everything works out. I've started believing in Big Ticket more now and will continue entering future draws. My husband always says, 'One day, your time will come.' So my advice to others is: never give up.' Big win in June This month's promotions include a grand prize of Dh25 million, 3x Dh150,000 weekly e-draws, The Big Win Contest, and more. Even more exciting, Big Ticket is offering a special ticket bundle all month long. The spotlight is on the Dh25 million grand prize, which will be awarded during the live draw on July 3. On the same day, 3x winners will also walk away with Dh75,000 each in consolation prizes. Leading up to the big reveal, Big Ticket is keeping the momentum going with weekly e-draws all through June, every week, three lucky participants will each win Dh150,000. And for all the car enthusiasts, Big Ticket's Dream Car series continues with the Nissan Patrol draw on July 3, followed by the Range Rover Velar draw coming up on August 3. June brings one of the most exciting offers yet. From the 1st to the 30th, online buyers can take advantage of a Buy 2, Get 2 Free deal on both Big Ticket and Dream Car tickets.
