Unique Honeycomb design defines Nissan's All-New Magnite in the Middle East
Aligned with Nissan's global vision of "One Car, One World," the all-new Magnite prominently features a cohesive honeycomb design across key touchpoints, from the front grille and LED tail lamps to the air-conditioning vents and the uniquely crafted leather seats. Complemented by distinctive Magnite badges on the fenders, this design approach reinforces the crossover's unique identity, that resonates and appeals to younger drivers navigating dynamic urban environments.
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, commented: 'Recognizing the growing popularity of compact SUVs, we were keen to expand our SUV lineup in the Middle East and introduce something distinctive and exciting to the segment. The all-new Magnite is carefully crafted to deliver best-in-class features, including its standout design complemented by advanced safety and technology. Designed specifically with young drivers in mind, the Magnite is packed with segment-leading practicality and is all about challenging the status quo, further enhancing our leading position in the SUV segment.'
In the front, the Magnite makes a powerful first impression with its bold, dual-tone grille featuring a pronounced honeycomb design. LED Bi-Projector Auto Headlamps and LED lightsaber-style turn indicators enhance the vehicle's assertive appearance, complemented by a dual-tone floating skid plate that adds to its robust stance.
The honeycomb motif continues prominently at the rear through LED tail lamps with 3D honeycomb gradient effect, creating visual depth and an instantly recognizable design. Complementing this theme, the Magnite's profile features distinctive 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal and responsive handling.
Inside, the Magnite's cabin thoughtfully carries through the honeycomb design, particularly noticeable in the front air-conditioning vents, front and rear seat upholstery, and door trims, ensuring cohesive styling throughout. Premium MODURE leather quilted seats with Heat Guard technology maintain comfort by effectively reflecting heat, making journeys pleasant even in warmer climates.
Under its stylish exterior, the Magnite is equipped with an efficient 1.0-liter Turbo engine, incorporating Nissan's advanced "mirror bore cylinder coating" technology. This technology ensures optimal heat management, improved combustion efficiency, smooth acceleration, and delivers an impressive 99 horsepower and 152 Nm torque, paired with exceptional fuel efficiency at 17.3 km/l.
The cabin offers advanced connectivity with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Comprehensive safety features, including six airbags and a 360° Around View Monitor, ensure peace of mind for drivers and passengers.
Adding to its practicality, the Magnite features a spacious boot, increasing from 336L to 690L when the rear seats are folded flat. Functional and stylish roof rails further enhance its practicality, offering an additional load-carrying capacity of up to 50 kg, perfect for weekend getaways.
The all-new Nissan Magnite, one of five SUVs launched by Nissan within the past twelve months in the Middle East, is now available at the brand's partner network across the regoin, setting a new benchmark with its bold design, advanced features, and practical versatility.

Low-cost flights to resume in Jordan by late 2025
AMMAN — Low-cost airlines are expected to resume flights to Jordan in the final quarter of 2025, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Lina Annab has announced. Speaking to Al Mamlaka TV, Annab said the ministry is in ongoing contact with several low-cost carriers to accelerate the return of their operations to the Kingdom. The minister attributed the suspension of services to recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which prompted airlines to temporarily redirect their routes to other destinations in the region, including away from Jordan. She noted that the tourism sector has begun to stabilise following a two-week period of unrest in June, triggered by the Israeli-Iranian air war. According to the minister, Jordan has witnessed improvements in visitor numbers, tourism growth, and revenues in recent months. Official figures show outbound tourism spending rose by 3.3 per cent in the first half of 2025, reaching US$999.7 million. However, spending in June dropped sharply by 22.7 per cent to US$195.6 million. Inbound tourism revenue climbed 11.9% during the same period, totalling US$3.667 billion, despite a 3.7% dip in June to US$619.2 million, largely due to the impact of regional tensions. Data from the Central Bank of Jordan indicated significant increases in tourism income from various regions: 42.9 per cent from Asian nationalities, 35.6 per cent from European travellers, 25.8 per cent from American visitors, and 11.5 per cent from Arab tourists. Revenue from other nationalities rose by 43.0 per cent.

IBM Report: Data Breach Costs Drop 18% in the Middle East, Reaching SAR 27 Million in 2025
IBM (NYSE:IBM) released its 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, revealing that the average cost of a data breach for businesses in the Middle East reached SAR 27.00 million. This represents a decrease of approximately 18% from SAR 32.80 million the year prior. According to the report, the top three factors that reduced breach costs for local businesses were AI/ML-driven insights, encryption and a DevSecOps the Middle East, lost business remained the largest cost category in 2025, averaging SAR 11.63 million per breach. This was followed by post-breach response costs at SAR 7.50 million, detection and escalation at SAR 6.55 million, and notification costs at SAR 1.32 million. While overall breach costs have declined this year, these figures underscore the continued financial strain organizations face across the entire breach lifecycle — from discovery to sectors continued to face significantly high breach costs in 2025. This year, the financial sector recorded the highest total breach cost reaching SAR 34.00 million, followed closely by energy and industrial at SAR 32.00 million.'It is encouraging to see a meaningful decline in the cost of data breaches in the Middle East this year. It is no coincidence that a region with some of the world's boldest AI ambitions is also seeing less costly breaches. As organizations accelerate the adoption of AI-driven tools for security, they are improving their ability to detect and contain threats before they escalate. But as attackers grow more sophisticated, continued investment in AI-driven security tools, security talent, and AI governance tools will be essential to sustaining this momentum,' said Saad Toma, General Manager of IBM Middle East and key findings in the 2025 IBM report for the Middle East include:• Mitigating risks of AI model attacks – To reduce the risk of attacks on AI models, organizations in the Middle East are most commonly implementing access controls on AI systems (41%). By contrast, just 3% of breached organizations globally had such controls in place, highlighting the region's more proactive approach to securing and governing AI.• AI governance adoption – 38% of surveyed organizations reported having formal AI governance policies in place, with an additional 24% starting to develop them. For those with policies in place, the most common elements include strict approval processes for AI deployments (45%), adversarial testing (44%) and the use of AI governance technology (43%).• Factors that increase costs – Organizations with security system complexity incurred an average additional cost of SAR 867,378. Breaches affecting IoT or OT environments added SAR 839,750, while security staff shortages raised costs by SAR 818,997 on average.• Top initial attack vectors – The most common initial causes of data breaches in 2025 were third-party vendor and supply chain compromise, which account for 17% of incidents and carried an average cost of 29.60 million. Denial of service attacks and phishing each made up 14% of breaches, with average costs of SAR 27.20 million and SAR 28.00 million respectively. Malicious insider threats, while slightly less frequent at 11%, resulted in the highest average cost at SAR 33.00 million. The 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report analyzed real-world data breaches from over 600 organizations worldwide from March 2024 through February 2025, including organizations from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored and analyzed by IBM, the Cost of a Data Breach Report has investigated nearly 6,500 data breaches over the past 20 years.
