We recently talked about the GCC piloting a single tourist visa and its effect for UAE travel. Today, we look at Oman where tourism has been on the rise, revenues and occupancy rates have been climbing this year and there are plans to increase hotel room capacity to keep up. We catch up with Cavendish Maxwell on their latest report, and with the man behind Six Senses Ziggy Bay to get his thoughts on this surge in demand. 

The UAE's Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant is the leading energy source in the country, and managing risk at the plant is a crucial priority for the government. After a recent simulation exercise, we speak with the The Emergency, Crises and Disaster Management Centre Abu Dhabi to find out how these trainings are run. 

New figures are in for the Nafis programme, which aims to get more Emiratis working in the private sector. Emiratalent joins us to unpack it all.

Could brain-powered computers be the biggest game-changer in tech? We ask a Swiss lab working on this prospect.

And is stevia a better alternative to sugar? Doctors have been weighing in.
