LOCKER ROOM TO BOARDROOM

The weather is perfect in Dubai, so if you’re dreaming of your next long lunch or golden-hour dinner, there’s a new spot by the sea that’s already turning heads.

Canary Club, the JLT favourite known for its West Coast energy, has just opened a beachfront sister on Palm Jumeirah. 

We speak with husband and wife and co-founders of Rosy Hospitality Ziad and Rowan Kamel about the new chapter of their entrepreneurial life as they exited one brand they helped create.

With over 10 million guests expected to pass through DXB between now and the end of the month, many of us - whether flying out or staying put - may feel the ripple effect. We ask Emily Jenkins what these numbers really mean for travellers and Dubai residents alike.

Staying with travel, but closer to home - in Ras Al Khaimah. Jebel Jais has unveiled its programme for this winter season, running from now through until April 2026.

Your next dining spot from city to the sea

From smash spaces, filled with old TVs, washing machines and crockery, to primal scream sessions and rage therapy, facilities that offer an outlet for anger are seeing huge demand from women who want a safe, structured way to let off steam. But why do we need it? And where is all that rage coming from? We get the take and advices of The Family Hub's Hanan Ezzeldin, who has very recently ran workshops for parents precisely around emotion regulation and anger management.

The team at MoneyFarm has uncovered a steep jump in the cost of raising a child, to an average of AED 1.2 million BEFORE you include school fees. That

bill has risen by more than 10% in just two years, with researchers citing rising costs for childcare, teenage grooming, tech and the everyday

essentials. Finance coach Carol Glynn joins us to unpack what it means for parents trying to plan, budget and stay afloat.

30% rise in divorce enquiries every January. So, how do we avoid becoming a part of those statistics?

Is there a real difference between vet-approved diets and supermarket pet food? Dr Joana Porto from Modern Vet guides us.

And the first-ever World Triathlon Women’s Cup is taking place in Dubai this weekend and is set to bring some of the world's top female athletes here to

compete, including Samantha Ivy Keet, South African multi-sport athlete and a cancer survivor who ran a half-marathon during chemotherapy.
