You can now buy a 24k gold kunafa chocolate bar in Abu Dhabi
Us Abu Dhabians like the finer things in life so it's only right we're getting… a 24k gold kunafa chocolate bar.
Yes, you read that right. Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers has unveiled its new Conrad Chocolate Bar, which offers four new (and very exciting) flavours of the popular kunafa chocolate that's been going viral all over the world.
Created by the hotel's executive pastry chef Sumeda, they're all priced at Dhs125. There's the opulent 24-karat gold pistachio kunafa, but also three others:
Arabic coffee toffee with caramelised pistachio kunafa
Lotus kunafa with crushed pistachio
Black cookies in yuzu chocolate with pistachio Kunafa
And as if that wasn't luxurious enough, five chocolate bars have a golden ticket hidden inside that will get you some pretty exciting perks.
One lucky winner will get a one-night stay for two with breakfast at the hotel, which just happens to be one of the best hotels in Abu Dhabi. Famous for its 74th-floor observation deck (which you can visit even if you're not staying in the hotel), it's a five-star hotel that's perfect for staycationing like royalty.
Another golden ticket winner will get to experience a tailor-made chocolate-tasting journey paired with fine teas at Lobby Lounge.
For the chocoholics, there are also signature chocolate-inspired drinks at Ray's Bar; an authentic Zeppole al Cioccolato experience at SOLE and a private chocolate masterclass with executive pastry chef Sumeda, the genius behind the new chocolate bars.
So how can you get your hands on one of these bars and potentially win one of the golden tickets? Head to Conrad Etihad Towers, where you can purchase the exclusive treats from the hotel's Lobby Lounge.
Race you there?

The best sunrise and sunset activities in Dubai
Inject a little adrenaline-fuelled fun into your morning with wakeboarding (or wakesurfing), enjoying the early morning light from the frothy surf of the Arabian Gulf. Wake Dubai has long offered instructor-led and independent-led sessions, making it suitable for beginners and seasoned surfers. A professional team of captains and instructors are at your service to ensure a safe and thrilling ride that will have you up on the waves in no time. There's space for up to six people per boat, with water, towels and all equipment provided. Boats are based at both Dubai Creek and Dubai Marina, with sessions from 6am. Wake Dubai, Dubai Marina and Dubai Creek, 6am to 5.30pm daily, from Dhs350. Sunset: Tee off under the lights at Meydan While Dubai's golf courses remain open all summer, midday rounds are somewhat unappealing in 40-plus degree heat. But golf fans can still get their fix after hours, with night golf available at several of the city's world-class courses. At Meydan's 9-hole championship golf course, night golf starts at 6pm with tee times until 11pm, and the floodlight course is open to all, so you can pay-and-play with no membership required.

For foodies If you don't mind sacrificing a few more hours of shut-eye, you can still enjoy alfresco breakfasts in the summer. Start the day with a relaxing beach walk – Kite Beach is a popular spot for watching the golden orb lift from behind the Arabian Gulf and into the sky to welcome the day, then reward yourself with breakfast at perennially popular Common Grounds. Their Kite Beach location opens at 6am, so before the temperatures rise to unacceptable levels, you can tuck into colourful acai bowls, sliced avo and hummus toast, or the five-grain banana porridge. Common Grounds, Kite Beach, 59 Al Hadd Street, Jumeirah 3, 6am to 10pm. @_common.grounds Sunset: Enjoy sunset sips at ZETA Seventy Seven Set 77 floors above ground, this rooftop restaurant is one of Dubai's best vantage points for drinks with a view. The contemporary venue is adjacent to the infinity pool, and tables are arranged around a central bar, well positioned to enjoy the stretching views of JBR and The Palm. And, being at such a height (and sea facing), means you can still enjoy alfresco drinks in early summer. On Mondays, a three-hour package from 6pm to 9pm is a brilliant way to start the week on a high, with a snack platter and unlimited drinks included. It's adults only. ZETA Seventy Seven, Address Beach Resort, JBR, 6pm to 9pm, Mondays, Dhs377 ladies, Dhs477 gents. Tel: (0)4 879 8866.

It's followed by a nourishing healthy breakfast in the lounge. Aura Skypool, Palm Tower, 6.30am, Mon, Thurs and Sat, Dhs280. @auraskypool Sunset: Take a dip in the dark at Twiggy Bringing a slice of Riviera opulence to the shores of the Park Hyatt is Twiggy.

Create Production brings Vox Cinemas' sonic identity to life with Hans Zimmer
Create Production has joined forces with Majid Al Futtaim Entertainment to unveil Fall in Love with Film, Vox Cinemas' latest brand film that signals a new chapter for the region's premier cinema operator. The cinematic tribute, released in celebration of Vox Cinemas' 25th anniversary, is underscored by an original score and sonic identity created by legendary composer Hans Zimmer. The emotionally rich film is a love letter to the power of cinema, weaving together themes of love, community, and escapism. At its heart is the story of a young boy growing up with the cinema as his lifelong companion. The narrative is brought to life by Zimmer's evocative score, blending Hollywood-style orchestration with 90s nostalgia and Arabic musical elements. As part of Vox's broader 'experience-first' strategy to reconnect with audiences, Create Production oversaw the entire creative process, from script development to full-scale production across eight regional markets. The campaign produced more than 85 assets in a variety of languages, formats, and platforms, ranging from IMAX screens to social media reels. Create also led localisation efforts across four languages and dialects, ensuring cultural resonance throughout the region. Muhammad Ashraf, Senior Producer at Create Production, said: 'Working alongside the Vox Cinemas team to develop a film worthy of Hans Zimmer's signature sound was a true privilege. We set out to craft a narrative that celebrates Vox's magic and elevates the region's sonic identity.' The brand film is currently screening in Vox Cinemas across the Middle East, with additional distribution on digital platforms, social media, and out-of-home advertising. The custom sonic branding developed for the campaign will continue to roll out throughout 2025, becoming an integral part of the Vox experience—from cinema lobbies to customer service interactions. This project adds to Create Production's portfolio of landmark regional campaigns, continuing its track record of high-profile collaborations, including previous work with Zimmer and large-scale productions across the Middle East.
