The passenger train from Dubai to Abu Dhabi starts running next week, and we now know how much a ticket will cost. The Agenda's Katie Chambers has everything you need to know about the UAE's new commuter service.

We're also putting the spotlight on Al Ain, as the city looks to establish itself as a business centre in its own right - attracting major international companies and investing in new industries. But what can Al Ain offer that Abu Dhabi and Dubai don't? What role will its universities play in that growth? And what's it actually like to build a technology company there?

Remember the AI trend a couple of weeks ago, when we all turned ourselves into 1980s versions of ourselves - big hair, shoulder pads and questionable fashion choices included? If you tried it, did you think about the environmental footprint of your request? Should we be considering the climate every time we use ChatGPT?

Meanwhile, forget crisps or a fizzy drink - a new machine popping up around Dubai is dispensing something rather different: your next book. We'll find out how you can get involved.

And could watching the sunset actually be good for you? Research suggests those few minutes of changing light can trigger a powerful sense of awe, with some surprising benefits for our wellbeing.
