Dubai Police are cracking down on dangerous e-motorbikes, after teenagers were caught riding modified bikes at over 100 kilometres an hour on roads, pavements, and even jogging tracks. We hear from one mum whose son was seriously injured after being hit by one and a community that has banned them altogether. Plus, we get expert analysis from Dr. Mostafa Aldah, Founder of RoadHeroAcademy.com and former Head of the Traffic Research Section at Dubai Police.

With the festival season kicking in, shoppers are about to be hit with every kind of promotion imaginable. From “Buy One Get One” to flash sales and mega markdowns, it can be hard to know what’s genuinely worth your money. To help us navigate it all, we’re joined by Ahmad Ahli, Acting Director of the Consumer Protection Department at the Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade.

The Dubai Airshow opens today and alongside the aircraft, the big story this year is the future of travel. New data from SITA shows baggage mishandling is now at its lowest level on record, even as global travel surges. 

And after premiering in Lebanon, the Arabic opera Antar & Abla is coming to Abu Dhabi in a giant open-air production at Zayed Sports City.
