The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation is warning that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a global food price crisis within a year.

With Eid and half term creating a full week off for many families across the UAE, we’re looking at how to make the most of the break - from staycation ideas and hidden gems, to family activities closer to home.

Meanwhile, new research from Al Ain suggests we may need a proper holiday every two months to recover from stress and avoid burnout.

And as school’s out, we’ll explore how holiday camps are moving beyond childcare - with programmes now designed to build creativity, confidence and real-world skills.

plus, we’ll also hear from a US bioscience company working to bring extinct animals back to life - after it developed an artificial eggshell that can support bird embryos outside a natural egg.
