Jannah Hotels & Resorts showcases strategic growth and vision at Arabian Travel Market 2025
A highlight of this year's participation is the successful debut of Jannah Executive Hotel Apartments (JEHA) in Abu Dhabi. Launched earlier this year, JEHA has quickly established itself as a standout property in the capital, achieving occupancy rates of over 80% in its first month and exceeding 89% in March and April. This strong performance underscores the market's demand for high-quality serviced apartments and Jannah's proven ability to deliver successful launches.
As part of its future-forward strategy, Jannah Hotels & Resorts is actively diversifying its audience by targeting key emerging markets such as Poland, Italy, Spain, South Korea, the Czech Republic, and China. These efforts aim to attract a broader spectrum of international travelers throughout the summer and winter 2025–2026 seasons.
'Our expansion into new markets reflects a broader shift in how global travelers are choosing destinations today,' said Julio Rafael, Director of Marketing and Communications at Jannah Hotels & Resorts. 'We're excited to tap into these emerging regions and are aligning our brand to meet evolving expectations, not just through geographic growth, but also by enhancing the overall guest experience through thoughtful design upgrades and modern hospitality solutions.'
Building on this momentum, Jannah is exploring the addition of a new property in Abu Dhabi later this year and plans to enter the Saudi market in 2026 with two new hotel openings, further solidifying its regional footprint. Complementing these expansion plans is the development of a holiday home and short-term vacation rental division in the UAE, catering to the rising demand for flexible, experience-led accommodations.
To ensure its current offerings continue to resonate with today's travelers, the brand is investing in the revamp and modernization of its Dubai Marina properties and Jannah RAK, introducing refreshed interiors and elevated aesthetics. These updates are designed to bring a contemporary global touch while preserving the brand's Bedouin-inspired roots and identity.
'Our presence at ATM 2025 reflects not only the momentum we've built over the past year but also our forward-thinking vision for the future,' said Ossama Charrouf – Head of Commercial and Development at Jannah Hotels & Resorts. 'We look forward to forming new partnerships, deepening existing collaborations, and continuing to deliver authentic, memorable experiences that celebrate the heritage and spirit of the region.'
With an eye on innovation and a deep commitment to meaningful hospitality, Jannah Hotels & Resorts is poised to lead the next chapter of growth within the UAE and beyond.

Platinumlist rebranding to meet needs 9+ million users across MENA
With the MENA region's entertainment and events industry projected to reach $76.67B by 2028, Platinumlist is enhancing the ticketing experience for more than 9 million users and a wide range of organisers. Dubai, the UAE: Platinumlist, the Middle East entertainment discovery platform, launches a comprehensive rebranding of its platform. This step is a response to the booming events sector in the MENA region, which has resulted in evolving user and partner demands for flexibility, consistency and personalisation. Since its founding in 2009, Platinumlist has expanded from a single event type to successfully ticketing over 100,000 events with 20 diverse categories in nine markets in the GCC and MENA and around the world. The redesigned platform addresses this by making the discovery and booking of tickets a quicker and more convenient experience. 'The decision to rebrand the platform was driven by several factors, including the company's expansion across the globe,' said Cosmin Ivan, CEO at Platinumlist. 'This growth presented challenges, as the previous brand identity no longer fully reflected the global and diverse nature of the company's offerings. The prior design was fragmented across different products, which sometimes made brand recognition more challenging for users and B2B partners.' The new design addresses these issues with a fresh visual identity centred around the concept of a ' portal'. This metaphor and identity concept, created in partnership with design studio Kidults, represents the platform as an entry point to new experiences and emotions. The redesigned interface features a cleaner, bolder visual system, improved UX patterns, and dark mode is currently in development to further enhance user experience in in various lighting conditions, such as at concerts or cinemas. 'Platinumlist came to us with a bold ambition - to go beyond selling tickets and become a true cultural portal,' said Mike Shishkin, Creative Director at Kidultas. 'It wasn't just about a new look, but about rethinking the brand's role, story, and the entire product experience. We worked closely with the Platinumlist on brand strategy, visual identity, UI and content tools. And we're proud to be a part of transforming ticket sales into inspiration.' A significant aspect of the redesign is its focus on regional and cultural inclusivity. Platinumlist collaborated with UAE and Saudi-based type designers to develop a new Arabic typographic system and an adapted logo that aligns with the Latin version, creating a flexible and regionally inclusive design system. The redesign is part of a shift that includes the rollout of a unified design system across all brand materials. This will ensure faster delivery, better consistency, and a more human and expressive tone in all communications. The company has also integrated user feedback tools into its process to drive more research-informed product development. Looking ahead, Platinumlist plans to continue its improvements, leveraging the new flexible design system to scale across different languages and markets, from Dubai to London. The company is also developing localised UI modules for its partners to help industry professionals improve their results. Future evolution includes a full app redesign, the launch of a membership program and digital wallet, as well as openings in the new markets. About the company Platinumlist is a leading entertainment discovery platform in the Middle East. Users can follow their favourite artists, get notifications for local performances, and enjoy secure and convenient event access. Furthermore, Platinumlist supports event organisers with advanced tools like reporting, seat mapping, and dynamic QR codes, covering everything from setup and management to digital marketing, on-site ticket scanning, and sales. Since 2009, the platform has boasted over 100,000 events, ranging from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup to smaller gatherings, working with clients in 18+ countries, including the GCC, MENA, Europe, and the US.

24 hours in Souk Madinat Jumeirah: where to stay, eat, and shop
We all know staycations in Dubai are a thing, especially when the city quiets down in summer. So, what's a better way to switch off properly without going far? Souk Madinat Jumeirah has the mix: relaxing hotel rooms with beach and pool access, plus cafés, restaurants, entertainment, and shops all within easy reach. Here's how to spend 24 hours at Souk Madinat Jumeirah and make the most of it. Book a room with a view Images: Supplied Jumeirah Al Naseem is what laid-back luxury looks like. The rooms feel like calm in a bottle, with soft coastal tones, breezy balconies, and views that make you forget about your phone. It's tucked along the beach, so mornings can start with sand underfoot or coffee by the lagoon-style pool. Everything feels serene, but you're still just a buggy ride from the buzz of the souk. To make the most of your stay, check into the ocean view suite, the Burj Al Arab and sea views bring an added sense of calm and escape. Mornings at The Palmery Image: Supplied Start your day the right way at The Palmery, Jumeirah Al Naseem's all-day dining spot with one of the best breakfast buffets in the city. Even if you're the 'I don't really do breakfast' type, this spread might change your mind. There are buttery croissants, eggs any way you like, fresh fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, warm breads, jams, cereals, and juices that actually taste fresh. Whether you're loading up a plate or taking it slow with a coffee and a second croissant, it's the kind of breakfast that makes you glad you got up for it. Unplug by the pool and beach Images: Supplied Slip down to the private beach and catch that soft, glistening light on the water. There's plenty of space to stretch out, dip in, or just lie flat and fully unwind. The pool scene is equally mellow, palm-lined, breeze-cooled, and just the right amount of silence. Grab a lounger, lose track of time and switch off. Hit pause at Talise Spa Images: Supplied Hidden behind palms and quiet pathways, Talise Spa is easily one of Dubai's best-kept spa secrets. Book a massage or a Hammam (or both), sit in the garden after, and try not to fall asleep, it's that relaxing. Even if you're here for just a day, this is where you press the reset button. Dine by the water Images: Supplied Trattoria is a relaxed, rustic Italian spot that has a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Set along the waterfront with a popular terrace, it's great for everything from casual lunches to intimate dinners. The vibe is laid-back and warm, with a Tuscan-inspired menu focused on simple, well-executed dishes. Think wood-fired pizzas, hand-made pastas, and simple, hearty mains rooted in classic Italian recipes. Take a stroll through the Souk Images: Supplied Winding canals, golden lights, and wooden archways, Souk Madinat is part market, part maze, and absolutely stunning. Duck in and out of little shops with handmade candles, embroidered kaftans, home accessories, or delicate gold jewellery. Both local and international designers have made their mark here, and the cafes lining the water make for an easy coffee break (or two). Go Greek for a laid-back dinner Images: Supplied Another solid pick? Taverna Greek is a homegrown gem that's all about laid-back Aegean energy. It's cosy yet bright, right on the water, and dishes out comforting Greek favourites like saganaki, baby calamari souvlaki, Gulf tiger prawns, and seriously good seafood pasta. Step into TODA Images: Supplied Right in the heart of Souk Madinat, TODA (Theatre of Digital Art) is where things get interesting. It's not your usual gallery or stage, it's a full-on, 360-degree experience. Think digital art shows that move across every wall, live music with immersive visuals, and wellness sessions that feel more like being inside a dream than a class. Whether you're in the mood for something creative, calming, or just a bit unexpected, TODA is worth stepping into. The final say If you're looking for a peaceful mini escape with top-tier dining, boutique shopping, a spa you'll want to move into, and stunning sea views, Souk Madinat Jumeirah has everything in one perfect little pocket of the city. Location: Souk Madinat Jumeirah, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud St – Al Sufouh 1 – Dubai Times: Daily from 10am to 11pm Contact: (0)4 366 8888 | @soukmadinatjumeirah

Saudi-listed Flynas turns to losses of $229mln in Q2 2025
Saudi Arabia's budget airline Flynas reported a net loss of 862.5 million riyals ($229.82 million) in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a net profit of SAR 238.86 million a year ago. The losses were entirely due to non-recurring initial public offering (IPO)-related expenses totalling SAR 1.08 billion. Revenue for the second quarter reached SAR 2.1 billion, down 1.5% year-on-year, due to temporary headwinds from the early suspension of Saudi Umrah and regional instability. The airline reported a net loss of SAR 714.6 million for the first half of 2025 compared to a profit of SAR 388 million a year earlier. Revenue rose 1.3% YoY to SAR 3.9 billion despite temporary headwinds faced in the second quarter. Total shareholders' equity doubled to SAR 3.37 billion by the end of June 2025, compared to SAR 1.64 billion in the same period last year.
