Liverpool's Uruguay striker Nunez joins Saudi club Al-Hilal
Liverpool's Uruguay forward Darwin Nunez has joined Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal from the Premier League champions on a three-year deal, both clubs said on Saturday. Financial details of the transfer were not revealed but British media reported that the Saudis paid 53 million euros ($61.69 million) to the Anfield outfit for the 26-year-old. "Al-Hilal Club Company is pleased to announce the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool FC on a three-year contract," the Saudi club said on their website. "Nunez has just joined the squad during the current pre-season training camp in Germany," Al Hilal added. Nunez joined Liverpool in June 2022 from Benfica for an initial fee of 75 million euros but struggled for consistency, with 40 goals and 26 assists in 143 games in all competitions. The striker found himself on the fringes of the first team during Liverpool's title-winning campaign last season, starting only eight league matches and netting five times. His departure will help finance Liverpool's close-season outlay of almost 300 million pounds so far. They have already signed Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz for a club-record fee of up to 116 million pounds and French forward Hugo Ekitike for 69 million plus add-ons. Al-Hilal, under former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, became the first Asian club to defeat a Premier League side in an official match when they beat Manchester City at the Club World Cup last month. Inzaghi's new side are aiming to secure a record-extending 20th league title this season, having finished second in the Saudi Pro League last term. Their other high-profile signing of the transfer window was Theo Hernandez from AC Milan.

Mira Developments Expands into Oman with Major Investment
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Mira Developments, a UAE-based luxury real estate developer, has made a significant move into Oman with the acquisition of a one million square foot plot of land in the Dhofar Governorate. This strategic expansion positions the company to tap into the growing demand for luxury properties in Salalah, particularly as the region gains attention for its potential in high-end tourism and residential developments. The announcement came shortly after Mira Developments hosted a high-profile three-day mastermind retreat that brought together over 100 top-tier real estate professionals. The retreat, which included brokers, architects, and representatives from luxury brands, marked a pivotal moment in the company's ambitious expansion strategy. The event served as both a networking platform and a launchpad for the company's upcoming developments in Oman, including the highly anticipated Mira Coral Bay project. ADVERTISEMENT Mira Developments' decision to enter the Omani market underscores its broader vision to become a leader in luxury branded living across the Gulf Cooperation Council region. With a focus on integrating premium design, sustainability, and lifestyle excellence, the company aims to set new standards for luxury communities in the region. The project will not only contribute to the local economy but also elevate the standards of residential living in Salalah, which is emerging as a prime destination for affluent residents and tourists. The retreat, which was set against the picturesque backdrop of Salalah's unique natural landscape and the refreshing Khareef season, proved to be the perfect setting for brainstorming and collaboration. The event featured a series of workshops and strategic roundtable discussions that aimed to push the boundaries of innovation in real estate. Participants explored opportunities for cross-sector collaboration and exchanged insights on future trends in luxury living, from sustainable architecture to cutting-edge smart home technology. The Dhofar region, known for its lush green landscapes and pristine coastline, offers a distinctive appeal for luxury developments. Salalah, in particular, is poised to benefit from its increasing popularity as a year-round destination. The Khareef season, which attracts tourists with its cool climate and stunning natural beauty, provides an ideal environment for high-end real estate projects designed to offer both comfort and exclusivity. Mira Coral Bay, the flagship development, is expected to feature world-class amenities, including bespoke residences, upscale retail spaces, and recreational facilities, all designed to cater to the discerning tastes of luxury buyers. The development will incorporate sustainable practices, aligning with Mira Developments' commitment to environmental responsibility. The company has also indicated that its approach will prioritise creating harmonious, eco-friendly communities that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings of Salalah. Real estate experts have noted that the luxury property market in Oman is ripe for development, particularly in regions like Dhofar. With its stunning landscapes and growing infrastructure, Salalah offers an attractive proposition for high-end investors looking for new opportunities outside of the more saturated markets in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The entry of Mira Developments into the Omani market is seen as a significant endorsement of the potential of Salalah as a luxury destination, and the project is expected to attract both regional and international investors. While Mira Developments' focus is on luxury properties, its broader vision extends beyond just creating high-end residences. The company aims to shape the future of luxury living by fostering innovation and collaborating with leading experts across industries. Through its strategic expansions, Mira Developments is positioning itself as a key player in the future of real estate development in the GCC region.

Gulf Emerging as Key Hub for Indian Jewellery Exports
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai The Gulf region is fast becoming a significant alternative hub for Indian jewellery manufacturing and exports, spurred by rising trade tensions between the US and India. Experts point to the growing challenges faced by Indian jewellers, particularly as American tariffs on Indian imports climb in response to geopolitical factors, including India's continued oil purchases from Russia. The latest move by the US, led by an executive order from President Donald Trump, has intensified trade uncertainties. The executive order, signed on Wednesday, introduces a hefty 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, with specific implications for the jewellery sector. This tariff hike, effective in three weeks, increases the overall tariff burden on Indian imports to 50 per cent—one of the highest rates the US has imposed on its trading partners. For years, India has been the global leader in jewellery manufacturing, with a robust presence in the international market, particularly in the US. However, the imposition of punitive tariffs has forced many Indian jewellers to rethink their export strategies. The Gulf region, traditionally a key market for Indian gold and precious stones, is now gaining prominence as a strategic manufacturing base, offering a more favourable trade environment. ADVERTISEMENT The decision to shift operations to the Gulf is driven by a combination of factors, including the region's strategic geographic position and its trade agreements with major markets. Countries like the UAE and Bahrain have long been involved in the jewellery trade, but as tariffs increase on Indian exports to the US, their roles are now being redefined. Experts suggest that the Gulf's advanced infrastructure, coupled with an array of free trade agreements, makes it an attractive destination for manufacturing and re-exporting high-end jewellery to global markets, including the US. The Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group, one of the region's leading jewellery trade bodies, has welcomed the shift, noting the opportunities it presents for growth. The UAE, in particular, has developed an attractive ecosystem for jewellery manufacturers, offering tax incentives, access to advanced technology, and a well-established logistics network. These benefits make it an appealing alternative for Indian jewellers seeking to bypass the punitive tariffs imposed by the US. India's reliance on the US market for jewellery exports, particularly in the high-end sector, has been significant. However, as the tariff burden becomes heavier, companies are exploring alternatives that provide both cost-effectiveness and access to lucrative international markets. Several large manufacturers have already established bases in the UAE, with plans to expand their operations further into the region. A noteworthy trend is the increasing collaboration between Indian and Gulf-based jewellery firms. These partnerships are focused on expanding manufacturing capabilities while reducing reliance on traditional export routes. The UAE, with its business-friendly policies, is proving to be an ideal locale for jewellery production, particularly for smaller-scale businesses that are unable to absorb the full impact of the US tariffs. One of the key drivers of this shift is the growing US demand for luxury goods, including jewellery. The tariff hike, while discouraging direct exports from India, has not dampened the appetite for high-quality jewellery. Instead, it has prompted companies to explore alternative routes to meet this demand. Experts point out that the Gulf provides a strategic advantage for such businesses, offering them the flexibility to maintain their competitive edge without the added burden of trade barriers. ADVERTISEMENT The Gulf's importance in the global jewellery trade has long been overlooked in favour of established centres like India. However, as geopolitical tensions continue to shape trade flows, the region's position as a central player in the jewellery manufacturing process is becoming more evident. Industry insiders predict that over the next few years, the Gulf's jewellery manufacturing and export capabilities will only grow stronger, reshaping the global jewellery supply chain. For Indian jewellery manufacturers, the shift to the Gulf represents a broader strategy to diversify their risk exposure. By establishing a presence in markets that are less susceptible to abrupt policy changes, Indian companies are better positioned to mitigate the impact of volatile geopolitical situations. The expansion of Gulf-based jewellery production also ensures that India maintains a foothold in the lucrative US market, even as tariffs continue to escalate.
