Abu Dhabi Court Orders Man to Repay Dh646,000 in Loan and Credit Card Debt
The Abu Dhabi Commercial Court of First Instance has ordered a man to repay Dh646,000 to a bank after he defaulted on a loan and credit card facilities obtained under a Murabaha agreement. Court records show that the bank initially sought Dh641,000 in unpaid debt, plus Dh20,000 in compensation and legal expenses. The borrower had received financing worth Dh613,979, along with a credit card, but stopped making payments shortly after taking out the facilities. An expert report confirmed his total outstanding debt stood at Dh641,495. The court noted that the bank had complied with all procedures and held valid guarantees, including salary certificates and cheques. The judgment ruled that the borrower violated his repayment obligations, causing financial harm to the bank. He was ordered to settle Dh641,495, pay an additional Dh5,000 compensation, and cover legal fees. Other claims made by the bank were dismissed.

Big-ticket events set the stage for tourism growth in the Middle East
According to the ATM Travel Trends report, 50% of industry experts consider leisure events as a key opportunity for the region's tourism growth Experts speaking at ATM 2025 discussed how global sports tournaments, cultural festivals and music events across the region are boosting tourism and economic growth Dubai, United Arab Emirates: 'Big-ticket' events are playing a pivotal role in driving international tourism and accelerating economic growth, according to experts speaking recently at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025. In the GCC alone, the event and exhibition market is expected to reach US$827 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.94%. Following the global success of mega-events such as the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and Expo 2020 Dubai, momentum is building across the region as Saudi Arabia prepares to host the 2034 World Cup. Discussing the evolution and impact of these events, panellists including H.E. Khalid Jassim Al Midfa, Chairman, Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority; Sebastien Doussin, Senior Vice President - Global Travel Services & Destination Management. Dnata and Noor Ahmad Hamid, CEO, Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), shared fascinating insights at ATM 2025, where the events industry was under the spotlight. The panel addressed how big-ticket events – so-called for their high value, cost and impact – have demonstrated their ability to attract millions of international visitors, boost hotel occupancy, stimulate infrastructure growth and generate long-term brand positioning for host destinations. Highlighting the importance of understanding the long-term strategic value of big-ticket events beyond immediate sales, H.E. Khalid Jassim Al Midfa commented: ' Big-ticket events provide a destination with an opportunity to establish brand positioning and exposure in a competitive global environment. These events play a vital role in supporting broader government objectives, but it is essential to invest in the right product for your destination.' Doussin reaffirmed the importance of large-scale events in destination positioning, referencing the growth of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the surge of international golfing tournaments throughout the UAE and the launch of NBA events in the capital. Commenting on the impact of technology on events, Doussin said: 'Technology has already changed big-ticket events, especially in terms of distribution and customer experience. All of the ticketing for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar was completely digital through the official event app, offering flexibility and ease of use. Ultimately, technology enables an event to become more seamless, easier and enjoyable.' Meanwhile, Hamid urged the industry to broaden the definition of big-ticket events to include exhibitions, conferences and cultural performances. He referenced Bangkok's weekly concerts, which are mainly K-pop driven, as examples of how live entertainment extends tourist stays. Supporting the panel's observations, the ATM Travel Trends report highlights the rising appeal of live entertainment and sports in influencing travel decisions. Leisure events were outlined as the top opportunity for tourism growth among 50% of industry experts, as consumer demand for in-person and cultural experiences has increased significantly in recent years. The trend of combining traditional leisure and business travel, or 'bleisure', has also accelerated as increased remote working and flexible working visas have enabled more people to live and work overseas. Building on this, business travellers are often extending their stays in destinations, creating a new opportunity in this rapidly expanding sector. The report also highlighted that business events (MICE) are emerging as a significant driver of tourism growth across the Middle East, complementing the region's thriving leisure sector. Global business travel reached a record US$1.4 trillion in 2024 and is projected to rise to US$2 trillion by 2030. The Middle East is well-positioned to capture a growing share of this lucrative market, increasing from approximately 2.5% in 2024 to over 3% by the end of the decade, supported by world-class infrastructure, a strategic location, and an expanding schedule of high-profile events. Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, concluded: 'As big-ticket events continue to gain global prominence, their role in shaping the future of tourism, driving economic diversification and enhancing international reputation has never been more evident. The Middle East, with its strategic vision, world-class infrastructure and focus on innovation, is well-positioned to lead the next era of global event tourism.' Building on the success of its inaugural edition, IBTM@ATM will return to ATM 2026, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 4-7 May 2026, with a dedicated zone within Hall 3, highlighting the show's strategic focus on the global business events sector.

Renting in Dubai: Everything you need to know
In Dubai, you can choose from long term and short term rentals for apartments. If you're choosing to go for a short term rental, usually electricity, water and other bills will be included in the rent. Short term usually refers to under 6 months and long term will be over 6 months. Finding a property to rent There are various platforms where you can find apartments, villas or houses to rent in Dubai. Try Bayut, Property Finder, or dubizzle where many agents will advertise properties. Payments One of the main things that expats find different in Dubai is the rent payment methods. In many countries, tenants pay an equal amount every month as rent. However in Dubai, most landlords will ask that the tenant pays larger amounts via cheque, this could range from one payment to four or five payments for the entire year. Dubai Land Department, has since digitalised the process and you can now often pay via direct debit. The Rental Index for fair rent pricing The Rental Index was introduced by DLD this year to encourage fair rent for both landlords and tenants. It uses AI and big date to provide accurate predictions of rent prices for properties. The index assesses the area, building, facilities, demand and more and provides an accurate price guide. Ejari Once you have signed an agreement, you must register your tenancy contract with Ejari. Ejari means 'my rent' in Arabic and is mandatory for all registrations of tenancy contracts. Ejari ensure that all rental contracts are officially recorded and you'll need it to set up utilities. DEWA DEWA stands for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and the department is responsible for just that. You'll need to register and activate your electricity and water as you move in. Chiller free vs district cooling Dubai can get hot, especially in the summer so that's why most properties in Dubai will have air-conditioning in some form. There are two main types in Dubai, district cooling and chiller-free. District cooling means that there are large air-conditioning plants around the city that supply to apartments. For district cooling, there are consumption charges and demand charges. In chiller-free areas, the landlord bears the complete cost of air-conditioning and tenants only pay for electricity consumption. Hidden costs to be aware of when renting in Dubai If this is your first time renting in Dubai, being aware of hidden costs will save you freaking out when it comes to payment time when you are renting in Dubai. Agency fees. For those using an agency, these are usually 5% of the annual rent. Ejari fee. This varies due to method however the standard is Dhs100 plus VAT. Housing fee. This amounts to 5% of your annual rent and is paid through DEWA billing system. Security deposit. The security deposit is usually 5% for unfurnished properties and 10% for furnished properties. DEWA deposit. The DEWA set up is Dhs2,000 for apartments and Dhs4,000 for villas. There are also activations charges as much as Dhs300. Cooling. Some apartment towers are chiller-free which means air-conditioning is not charged for, other towers are not and you'll need to pay, plus a deposit on set up.
