Emirati Artists Take the Stage at London's Kensington Palace
Emirati performers captivated audiences at Kensington Palace with a night of operatic music, presenting a vibrant showcase of UAE culture on a prestigious international stage. The event featured talented artists Fatima Al-Hashimi, Ahmed Al-Housani, and Ihab Darwish, who performed pieces in Arabic, Italian, and English. This concert was part of the Abu Dhabi Festival's Abroad program, held in partnership with the Peace and Prosperity Trust. The initiative aims to highlight Emirati cultural heritage through classical music while encouraging cross-cultural exchange. A Platform for Cultural Diplomacy Huda Alkhamis-Kanoo, founder of the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation, stressed the significance of such events in promoting cultural understanding. 'If we do not tell our story, someone else will. And they will get it wrong,' she said. Alkhamis-Kanoo described the showcase as more than a one-time event, but as an ongoing commitment to bringing Emirati talent to the world stage. She added, 'It's about creating understanding, building dialogue, and showing the world the strength of our cultural identity through music. We invest in the young, we partner with the world, and we build cultural legacies that last.' Blending Tradition with Innovation The evening featured the debut of Ihab Darwish's new composition, Ruins of Time, which fused orchestral sounds with traditional Arabic influences. Darwish remarked, 'Music is the fastest way to reach people. It creates peace, it creates understanding. Music removes boundaries. It creates a shared language, a dialogue of coexistence, peace, and tolerance.' Meanwhile, Fatima Al-Hashimi explained her approach to preserving Arab identity within classical music: 'Even while singing in Italian, I included Arabic lyrics to keep our signature present.' Ahmed Al-Housani reflected on the significance of the event, calling it a 'professional milestone' and emphasising, 'Performing here is more than a concert, it's a message. We're here to show the world the strength and beauty of our culture.'

10 of the best restaurants in Dubai that will make you feel like you're on holiday
When 'away' is just a table away… Summer is here. You want out but can't go far. You didn't book a flight. You stayed. But that doesn't mean you want to feel stuck. Maybe you're just a little homesick – for a pace, a place, a feeling. So you start choosing spots that feel slightly off the map – not literally, but figuratively. A little quieter, a little slower. That kind of energy where lunch turns into golden hour and 'one glass' becomes five. It's not Greece, or Italy, or Thailand, or Brazil – but it almost could be. You get the point. Here are 10 of the best restaurants in Dubai to go to when you want out, but you're staying in. Click through the gallery 3 of 12 If you love Greece, or never made it but think about going every summer, Sirene by GAIA is where you want to go for lunch, dinner, or even a long, beach day. It's all white stone, sun-faded neutrals, and just enough bougainvillea to feel like a postcard. The dips are the kind you keep digging bread into. The seafood looks like art and tastes even better. The pasta feels like it's been made at home, with love. And every table looks out to sea. Hands down, a ten out of ten kind of spot. Sirene by Gaia, J1 Beach, daily 10am to 1am. Tel: (0)4 834 0303. @sirene_dxb At Mirabelle, it's all blue waters, anchored boats, and that quiet kind of luxury you find along the Mediterranean. Set by the water at the new Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, it's the kind of place where a leisurely lunch easily flows into sunset drinks. Laid-back yet polished just right, Mirabelle almost makes you forget you're still in the city. Inspired by the Cote d'Azur, the vibe is quietly chic and relaxed, what's not to love? Mirabelle, ground floor, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, Jumeirah 3. Tel: 800 323232. If you've ever spent a summer on the Italian coast, or wished you had, Gigi Rigolatto brings the mood to Dubai's J1 Beach. The setting is lush and inviting, with Mediterranean gardens, a serene pool, a private beach, and even a boutique. Inside, the restaurant is summery, lounge-y, with high red brick archways and stunning olive trees. If that sounds like your kind of vibe, Gigi captures the essence of Italian coastal living. Gigi Rigolatto, J1 Beach. Tel: (0)4 558 2067 @gigi_beach_dubai Hidden in a pocket of jungle-like calm, The Farm feels like it shouldn't exist in Dubai, but that's the charm. It's all glass walls, tropical plants, and soft quiet in the middle of Al Barari. Water streams run through endless greenery, and the menu drifts from Thai to Mediterranean for those who like options. It's pretty, it's peaceful, and it feels like a full reset. The Farm, Al Barari, daily 7.30am to 10.30pm. Tel: (0)4 886 6223. Flamingo Room is luxury in the form of art, where rich, African-inspired design meets fine dining. Hand-blown baobab glass installations hang alongside vintage gold mirrors, casting a warm, textured glow throughout the space. The menu matches the vibe with rich seafood highlights like prawns au gratin and calamari Mozambique, plus a cornflake chicken schnitzel from their business lunch selection. A solid choice for anyone craving this kind of scene. Flamingo Room by tashas, Jumeirah al Naseem, Madinat Jumeirah. 12pm to 4pm and 7pm to 1am daily. Tel:(0)4 244 7278. Sufret Maryam is for anyone homesick for the Levant, a place rooted deeply in warmth and tradition. Walking in feels like stepping into an authentic Levantine home, full of love and heart. Palestinian, Michelin-awarded Chef Salam Dakkak, who was also awarded Chef of the Year at the What's On Dubai Awards 2025 , brings passion, creativity, and skill to every dish. The food here is next level. If Levantine cuisine and the feeling of home are your vibe, Sufret Maryam should be at the top of your list. Sufret Maryam, Wasl 51, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. @sufretmaryam Tucked along the waterways of Madinat Jumeirah, Pai Thai is well worth the boat ride. Quiet yet atmospheric, it's a proper Thai spot that stays true to its roots, rich green curry, delicate dumplings, deep-fried prawns in red curry sauce, and mango sticky rice that's almost too pretty to eat. The setting hits the sweet spot: warm lighting, dark wood, and just enough buzz to feel alive. If you're craving Thai (and spicy) food in a holiday-like setting, Pai Thai is your scene. Pai Thai, Jumeirah Al Qasr. @paithaidubai Nobu needs no introduction. After 14 years at The Avenues in Atlantis The Palm, the world-famous Japanese hotspot has moved to an even more iconic location, right at the top of the resort on the 22nd floor. Taking over what was once The Royal Bridge Suite, the new space is bigger, sleeker, and comes with the ocean in full view. Think stunning sights of Palm Jumeirah and the Arabian Gulf, best enjoyed from the terrace with a plate of crispy rice and a perfectly mixed cocktail in hand.

Chef Izu's behind it, so the food speaks for itself. It's relaxed, stylish, and hard to leave once you've settled in.

DXB Slashes Long‑Term Parking Fees Ahead of Busy Summer Season
Dubai International Airport has introduced sharply reduced long‑stay parking rates across all terminals, aiming to ease travel costs and reduce traffic congestion as passenger volumes surge. From 10 to 30 June, motorists can park for three days at AED 100, a week at AED 200, or up to 14 days at AED 300—a significant reduction from regular tariffs. The move addresses growing demand at DXB, where the airport expects to handle over 250,000 passengers daily throughout June. By promoting cleared official parking over short‑stay drop‑offs, operators anticipate smoother terminal entry and departure flows, improving the overall passenger experience. Under standard parking schemes, a single extra day could cost upwards of AED 75 beyond the first 24 hours. With the new rates, three days now cost AED 100, a seven‑day stay AED 200, and a 14‑day period AED 300, offering substantial savings. ADVERTISEMENT Terminals 1 Car Park B, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3 are included in the offer, enabling travellers using any departure point to benefit. Equally, those collecting arriving passengers may park for the same rates, promoting better use of official car parks instead of prolonged waiting on curbside lanes. Airport officials underline that the discount is part of a wider strategy to prepare for one of DXB's busiest periods. The summer schedule often triggers bottlenecks at terminal entrances, especially during peak departure windows. Freeing up curbside lanes by encouraging long‑stay parking is expected to alleviate those issues. DXB is deploying additional digital navigation tools to support this effort. Its DXB Express Maps service offers real‑time wayfinding via QR codes on flight information displays, enabling passengers to locate car parks, check‑in zones, gates, amenities and lounges with minimal confusion. Earlier implementation of Smart Gates for passengers over 12 aims to expedite passport control, further speeding up terminal throughput. Emirates has also reinforced passenger convenience ahead of high travel volumes. The airline continues to promote home collection, early check‑in, and city check‑in services, allowing smoother movement before arriving at DXB. Non‑Emirates travellers are encouraged to arrive no more than three hours before departure and to leverage online check‑in to cut queuing times. Logistics surrounding baggage are also being tightened. Airport guidance strongly urges passengers to weigh bags in advance, assemble travel documents early, and pack spare batteries and power banks in carry‑on luggage only, to avoid delays and security hold‑ups. The multi‑pronged initiative dovetails with broader transport planning efforts in Dubai. The Roads and Transport Authority has extended Metro services to Terminals 1 and 3, providing an effective alternative to private vehicle access and reducing terminal traffic. DXB's passenger figures are at an all‑time high: 23.4 million travellers passed through the airport in the first quarter of 2025, a 1.5 per cent increase year‑on‑year. January alone recorded 8.5 million passengers—an airport record. India remains the leading source market with around 3 million passengers in Q1, followed by Saudi Arabia, the UK, Pakistan, the USA and Germany. At city level, London handled 935,000 travellers, then Riyadh, Jeddah, Mumbai and New Delhi. This rate adjustment forms part of the airport authority's commitment to delivering a friction‑free journey and balancing infrastructure usage. By incentivising pre‑arrival parking, DXB aims to better manage curbside access, enhance passenger comfort, and ensure optimal usage of its parking facilities during peak travel times. In tandem with parking cuts, elaborate service continuity plans are in place. Assistance for passengers with special needs is bolstered through clearly signposted routes, dedicated assistance lounges—such as in Terminal 2—and staff trained with Sunflower pin‑scannable identification. Passengers are also reminded to allow extra time for journeys to the airport, as local roads may experience congestion peaks during busy hours. Officials emphasise that this temporary parking arrangement is a strategic move that aligns with their overarching mission of enhancing passenger flow and travel ease during Dubai's high‑traffic summer season.
