DUBAI’S BURJ AL ARAB TO HOST WORLD TRAVEL AWARDS GRAND FINAL 2023

Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah will play host to the World Travel Awards Grand Final 2023, with the who’s who of travel in attendance

As an icon of Arabian luxury, the hotel will prove a fitting backdrop to the 30th anniversary celebrations of World Travel Awards. It is an icon of Arabian luxury, one of the most famous landmarks in Dubai, and an emblem of the emirate’s ascent to becoming the epicentre of über-luxury.

During its launch, one journalist was famously so overwhelmed by the hotel that they felt it must be rated seven stars out of the maximum five-star rating, and so stuck the title of the world’s only seven-star hotel.

ICONIC DESIGN

Architecturally designed to resemble a billowing Arabian dhow sail, the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah is the tallest all-suite hotel in the world. Standing at 321m tall, 12m taller than The Shard in London and 60m shorter than the Empire State Building in New York, the Burj Al Arab is built on a man-made island 280m off Dubai’s coastline and has the world’s tallest atrium at 180m.

The interior blends a vibrant colour palette with exquisite materials. Some 1,790sqm of 24-carat gold leaf was used to embellish the interior and an estimated 86,500 individual hand-fixed pieces of Swarovski crystals have been etched into the frame of the mirror in the Junsui bar and the entrance.

ICONIC DESIGN

ANOTHER LEVEL OF SERVICE

The hotel’s dedicated teams go above and beyond guest expectations, no matter how small or big the request may be, including Michelin-starred chefs and mixologists to expert florists and private butlers.

The hotel has its own camel named Musafir, which means traveller in Arabic, who offers guests the chance to enjoy a symbolic walk around the grounds of the iconic building. To explore the city and its attractions, Burj Al Arab Jumeirah offers its own fleet of Rolls-Royces, available for airport transfers or around the emirate, as well as a fleet of BMWs.

CULINARY HAVEN

Burj Al Arab has become a symbol of culinary excellence in Dubai. Choose from a wealth of restaurants, from leisurely lunch at The Terrace, a beachfront experience at Sal, stylish cocktails with staggering views at Gilt or ascend to 27th floor at six meters per second to enjoy a fusion of French and Italian fine dining at Al Muntaha overlooking the Arabian Gulf.

Sky View also offers spectacular views of the seascape, while Al Iwan’s regal dining hall on the first floor serves up traditional Arabian dishes. Bab Al Yam provides Mediterranean cuisines with Middle Eastern accents with floor-to-ceiling views of the Arabian Gulf. For the ultimate luxury experience, guests can indulge in a Gold Cappuccino, a luscious coffee topped with 24-carat gold leaf.

DUBAI TEAMS UP WITH REAL MADRID

Dubai and Real Madrid have teamed up for landmark collaboration to deliver a range of activities, experiences and special fan moments.

The global partnership agreement aims to generate new growth opportunities for both institutions and makes Dubai the first official destination for the football club. It will also support Dubai’s ambitious plans as part of its recently announced Dubai Economic Agenda – D33.

Being at the forefront of global sports entertainment with Real Madrid aligns with Dubai’s ambitious plans to consolidate its position among the top three global cities. The partnership encompasses both Real Madrid’s First Men and Women Football Teams, and brings a taste of Dubai to Santiago Bernabéu,

offering fans unforgettable experiences and services of the highest standards.

H.E. Issam Kazim, CEO, Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM), and Florentino Perez, President of Real Madrid Club de Fútbol formalised the partnership during an official ceremony

at the legendary Sala de Juntas in Ciudad Real Madrid, in the presence of Jose Angel Sanchez, Chief Executive Officer of the club, and Emilio Butragueño, Real Madrid legend and Director of Institutional Relations.

H.E. Issam Kazim, CEO, DCTCM, commented: “We are excited to begin our journey with Real Madrid as a global partner. This gamechanging collaboration between Dubai and the greatest club in the world is built upon a shared vision and values, where every achievement serves as motivation to pursue new heights. With our aim to consolidate Dubai’s position among the top three global cities, this strategic alliance will harness the strengths of a leading destination and

the world’s most celebrated team, to reaffirm Dubai globally as the best city to visit, live, and work in.”

Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations of Real Madrid, commented: “We are very proud of this new partnership with Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism as the Club’s first Official Destination Partner. Dubai is a destination that strives for excellence in all its entertainment offerings, which is a value shared by the Club. We are delighted to bring this exciting tourist destination to our millions of Madridistas around the world.”

Dubai’s strong public and private sector relations are at the heart of its success, and this new collaboration with

Real Madrid further builds on a longstanding partnership that Emirates has cemented since 2011. It is also perfectly timed for the upcoming Real Madrid themed-park, at Dubai Parks and Resorts, the largest theme park destination in the Middle East, which will further expand the city’s diverse destination proposition. The park, which will be the world’s first Real Madrid themed-park, will feature a number of Real Madridrelated attractions, such as a museum, amusement rides and football skill games, as well as food and beverage outlets, and retail spaces selling official Real Madrid products.

Better journeys, by AVIS

Redefining Mobility Solutions and Garnering Acclaim across the Region

AVIS UAE has been honoured once more as the United Arab Emirates' Leading Car Rental Company for 2023 at this year’s World Travel Awards ceremony. This distinguished award showcases AVIS's steadfast dedication to delivering remarkable car rental, leasing, and mobility solutions across the region. The highly prestigious industry accolades are voted for by travel and tourism professionals and serve as a testament to AVIS’ commitment to excellence in the form of hospitality, sustainability, and digital transformation.

The company has been awarded several prestigious awards over the previous 12 months, notably the title of “Best Car Rental Company of the Year” by the Middle East Hozpitality Excellence Awards, and the “Leading Car Rental Company 2022” by World Travel Awards.

Dominic Hagerty, General Manager, AVIS UAE said “It is with immense pride and gratitude that we at AVIS UAE accept the honor of being recognized as the United Arab Emirates' Leading Car Rental Company for 2023. This accolade is not merely a testament to our continual pursuit of excellence, but it remarkably mirrors the dedication and hard work of every individual in our team. Our commitment to delivering unparalleled car rental and leasing experiences through innovative, sustainable, and digitally transformed solutions have always been at the forefront of our operations. The acknowledgment from our peers and industry professionals further fuels our determination to revolutionize mobility solutions across the region, ensuring that AVIS doesn’t just provide a service but delivers an exceptional experience, every single time. We continue our journey, dedicated to innovative advancements and customer-centric solutions, steering towards a future where mobility is not just accessible but seamlessly integrated into our customers’ lives.”

The company is on a mission to provide customers with total control over their rental experience. AVIS UAE was one of the first companies in Dubai Airport to go completely paperless with PDAs, bookings, servicing, invoicing, and electronic signatures, with further innovations under development that will achieve a 100% contactless rental experience. The www.avis.ae website emerges as a pivotal element in this transformation, providing an intuitive platform for easy rental bookings, while also serving as a hub for customers to explore various services, leasing options, and exclusive offers, streamlining their entire rental experience.

AVIS UAE ensures an end-to-end booking and servicing experience for rental and leasing, providing access to a diverse fleet assortment on demand. Over the past year, AVIS has tabulated over 65% of end-customers are opting for leasing versus outright purchasing a vehicle, up from 50% last year. This is partly due to customers preferring a hassle and commitment-free experience with flexibility in vehicle choice, versus the hefty financial and maintenance requirements to outright purchase.

For commercial partners, AVIS takes a bespoke approach to creating practical business solutions. Partners rely on AVIS to manage their tailored mobility requirements, while they focus on investing in their businesses and core competencies. 70% of businesses opt to lease their vehicles, rather than procure a depreciating asset. Many companies have trusted AVIS to create a customized mobility solution that serves their business requirements through a leasing model that is assetlight.

AVIS launched in the United States in 1946 and was the first to rent cars from airport locations. In 1975, Mr. Hareb Mohammed Al Otaiba successfully secured the AVIS franchise in the UAE. Today, AVIS UAE is well-established and is the fastest-growing transport provider in the UAE market.

LIGHT ART EXHIBITION ILLUMINATES ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi’s archipelagos and mangroves have been given a new lease of life by night through a series of mesmerising light art exhibitions.

Manar Abu Dhabi, a Public Art Abu Dhabi initiative, is an exhibition of light sculptures, projections and immersive artworks by local and international artists. Residents and visitors have until next January to engage with stunning artworks and experience the transformative power of light.

Offering an immersive, multisensory experience which celebrates the emirate’s natural beauty, the exhibition will invite audiences to see Abu Dhabi’s coastal areas in a new light.

The artworks are on display throughout Abu Dhabi, including Lulu, Saadiyat, Jubail, Al Samaliyah

and Fahid islands, and other coastal areas such as Corniche Road, and the Eastern mangroves. Visitors will embark on a 2.3km art journey through Al Samaliyah, witness a Saadiyat Cultural District museum-inspired drone show on Saadiyat, and explore mesmerising displays on Lulu.

Curator of Manar Abu Dhabi, Alia Zaal Lootah, said, “The exhibition programme reflects the rich cultural legacy and contemporary aspirations of our city. This immersive public art platform will further shape the creative expression of the city and inspire community engagement by offering

residents and visitors the opportunity to engage and connect with art in some of Abu Dhabi’s most beautiful natural locations.”

A robust public programme of talks, workshops, and art performances is taking place throughout Manar Abu Dhabi’s duration.

Manar Abu Dhabi is part of Public Art Abu Dhabi’s ongoing commitment to commissioning public art for the emirate; two other major long-term elements include the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial, launching in November 2024, and artist commissions.

INSIDE QATAR

Qatar’s neighbourhoods boast waterfront views, sandy beaches, retail, exhibition spaces and eateries, reflecting the rich diversity of this compact state. Best in Travel looks at the treasures of Qatar.

KATARA CULTURAL VILLAGE

Combining art galleries and workshops, theatres and performances venues, and exceptional restaurants choices, Katara Cultural Village is Doha’s destination for culture and entertainment. A central amphitheatre stands

against a backdrop of traditional architecture and cobbled streets, and is the site of many cultural performances. Adjoining the main development, a spacious public beach offers water sports and equipment rentals.

MSHEIREB DOWNTOWN DOHA

The world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project, Msheireb Downtown revives Doha's old commercial district with a new architectural language. While modern, the architecture of Msheireb is inspired by Qatar’s heritage – its proportion, simplicity, space, light, layering, and response to the country’s climate.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF QATAR

Interconnected galleries take visitors on a visual journey through Qatar, telling the story of the country, from the pre-historic to the modern era. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, the National Museum

of Qatar draws inspiration from and recreates the naturally occurring crystal formations known as the desert rose. Built around Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al-Thani’s original palace, and the seat of government for 25 years, the National Museum of Qatar gives voice to Qatar’s heritage whilst celebrating its future. It spans a whopping 430,500 square feet.

QANAT QUARTIER

A feast for the eyes, this Venice-inspired neighbourhood brings a piece of the Mediterranean to Doha. Boasting turquoise canals flanked by candycoloured buildings and gracefully arched bridges, Qanat Quartier abounds with Instagram-worthy vistas.

Play a tune on the musical staircase, or take a leisurely stroll down broad avenues as you wander in and out of the neighbourhood’s many boutiques and cafés. Grab a coffee, stick your toes in the sand, and take in stunning views of the Arabian Gulf from Qanat Quartier’s beachfront promenade.

DOHA QUEST

Qatar’s first-ever theme park, Quest, located in Msheireb is a 32,000 sqm. novel indoor entertainment destination which caters to an audience of all ages. Facilitating over 30 rides and attractions this entertainment hub features adrenaline-heavy thrill rides, media-controlled simulators, virtual reality experiences and more.

THE PEARL-QATAR

The Pearl, Qatar is a manmade island offshore Doha's prestigious West Bay District, featuring Mediterraneanstyle yacht-lined marinas, residential towers, villas, and hotels, as well as introducing a luxurious shopping experience with premium designer boutiques and showrooms. The Island is also home to modern dining spots- from refreshing ice creams to five-star culinary experiences, while it stands out for its pedestrian-friendly squares and plazas and the wide range of landscaped gardens. The Pearl is a popular visitor attraction by virtue of its chic elegance, inviting descriptions such as the ‘Arabian Riviera’.

SOUQ WAQIF

Built on the site of Doha’s century old trading market, on the banks of the Wadi Musheireb, Souq Waqif feels like an anachronism, particularly against the backdrop of Doha’s dramatic modernist skyline. With its mud-daubed buildings, the market harkens to a bygone era while remaining a hub of activity, where commerce

and gossip collide. Souq Waqif’s winding alleys offer a tableau of traditional street life. Located within the confines of Souq Waqif, the Falcon Souq is one of the most exciting places to visit in Doha. Visitors can admire the majestic birds from up close; take photographs and, under the shopkeeper’s watchful eye, pose with a falcon perched on an arm.

EAST-WEST/WEST-EAST

Nestled between limestone rock formations outside Zekreet, just north of Doha, lies Richard Serra’s EastWest/West-East installation. Comprising of four steel plates, each of which is over 14m in height, the installation spans over 1km. It stands in stark contrast to the soft brown hues of the desert

surrounding it, and offers a comment on isolation and the passage of time.

DAHL AL MISFIR

Located west of Doha, in the centre of the peninsula, Dahl Al Misfir is one of Qatar’s most exciting natural sites. At 40 meters deep, it is considered the largest and deepest, yet accessible cave in Qatar. Formed largely of

fibrous gypsum, it sometimes gives off a faint, otherworldly glow.

IMAM ABDUL WAHHAB MOSQUE

As the largest mosque in Qatar, Imam Abdul Wahhab, also known as the Qatar State Grand Mosque, was inaugurated in 2011. Its simple lines and graceful arches are nonetheless eye-catching,

and characteristic of Islamic architectural tradition. The mosque houses three libraries, separate prayer and ablution halls for men and women, and special halls for Quran memorisation, and can hold over 30,000 worshippers.

ASPIRE ZONE FOUNDATION

Located minutes from central Doha, Aspire Zone is marked by The Torch Doha,

the 300m tall hotel which boasts panoramic views of the city. With world-class sports venues, a training academy, sports medicine hospital, turf research centre, as well as five-star accommodation, restaurants and entertainment, it is a compact destination for sport lovers. The vast green spaces of Aspire Park, spread over 880,00 m2, offer respite from the cityscape, with walking/running tracks, children’s play areas, a large lake, and Perceval, a public artwork by Sarah Lucas.

Cafés and dining venues dot the area, while Villaggio Mall

and Hyatt Plaza Mall provide more entertainment, dining and retail options.

FANAR

One of the most widely known landmarks in Doha, the spiral-shaped Fanar building is centrally located near Souq Waqif and the Museum of Islamic Art. It can be seen from a distance, especially in the evenings when its lighting accentuates the unique design of this beautifully unique piece of architecture. Fanar was once the largest mosque in the country.

THE CORNICHE

One of Doha’s most iconic attractions, the Doha Corniche is a seven km stretch of gorgeous promenade overlooking the serene waterfront. With a crescent shaped walkway around the Doha Bay, the Corniche offers the best views of the city’s modern skyline, making the epicentre of various occasions such as the National Day celebrations and the National Sports Day.

BALADNA FARM AND PARK

Baladna Park is 2.4 million square metres of lush, manicured lawns and gardens and a popular family edutainment destination. It offers a plethora of exciting

and interesting activities. The park has a zoo that houses dozens of species such as mini kangaroos, giant turtles, royal peacocks, alpacas, wallaby, emus, pigmy goats and sheep.

QATAR AIRWAYS PARTNERS WITH INTER MILAN

Qatar Airways has added Italian football giants FC Inter Milano to its sport sponsorship portfolio.

The multi-year agreement will incorporate branding, hospitality and marketing rights, including tailored travel for Inter fans. The cooperation supports Qatar Airways in strengthening its footprint across Italy and Europe – a region of utmost importance to the airline.

To celebrate this partnership, Qatar Airways, CEO, Engr. Badr Al Meer hosted members of the Inter executive team with a tour of the Qatar Airways aircraft at Dubai Air Show. Inter Legend, FIFA World CupTM champion, and UEFA

Champions League winner, Marco Materazzi, also made a surprise appearance to commemorate the new partnership.

Badr Al Meer, said: “Italy is one of Qatar Airways’ most valued markets and this partnership will help deepen our relationship with not only Milan, but all markets across Europe and Asia where Inter has a huge following. We look forward to working with the club to chart a new era of success, both on and off the pitch.”

Symbolising excellence in the world of aviation and football, the partnership enables Qatar Airways to connect the team to exciting overseas tours and competitions as its key travel partner. The airline will also increase its visibility in Milan with Qatar Airways’ branded LED signage around Inter’s San Siro Stadium.

Inter is a club steeped in a rich history of success and has consistently achieved greatness on both the domestic and international stage. With 19 Serie A, three UEFA Champions League, and eight Italian Cup wins, Inter has truly etched its name in football history.

The airline currently operates from two airports in Italy, with three daily flights from Milan Malpensa and 18 weekly flights from Rome Fiumicino. From January 2024, flights to Rome will also increase from one to three daily flights.

To celebrate the partnership, Qatar Airways Privilege Club will be offering Inter fans discounts of up to 12 per cent on flight fares to witness the legendary Italian team compete at the San Siro Stadium.

ATLANTIS THE ROYAL: THE CONCEPT

The design of Atlantis The Royal rethinks the conventional concept of the ‘iconic tower’ and its role in the skyline of the rapidly growing city.

Atlantis The Royal was conceptualised as the ‘deconstruction’ of the traditional sculptural towers associated with Dubai, taking the form of a stack of individual blocks, each offering a bespoke private experience off of a single core. The individual series of blocks enhances the

FORMULA 1: MAGIC IN THE DESERT

The rise of the Middle East has been the 21st century success story of Formula One. The first race in the region was Bahrain in 2004, followed by Abu Dhabi in 2009, with Qatar and Saudi Arabia joining the stable in 2021.

The four races give the Arabian Peninsula, the second largest geographical ‘block’ of races on the F1 schedule after Europe. Best in Travel takes a look at each of the races.

LOSAIL, QATAR

The inaugural Qatar Grand Prix in 2021 took place Losail International Circuit, and the formed the 20th round of the 2021 Formula One World Championship. Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes secured the win, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen coming in second. Two races later, though, Verstappen would edge out Hamilton to take the Championship title. Remarkably, Fernando Alonso from Alpine clinched his first podium finish since the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix and his first with Team Enstone since the 2009 Singapore Grand Prix.

Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the GP skipped the 2022 season but returned in 2023 under a 10-year contract.

When was the track built?

The Lusail International Circuit, located on the outskirts of the capital city of Doha, was built in preparation for hosting Qatar’s first ever MotoGP event in 2004, with the circuit completed in just over a year.

When was its first Grand Prix?

2021 represented the first time Qatar had ever hosted the FIA Formula One World Championship – with the country signing an additional 10-year deal to host the sport from 2023.

What’s the circuit like?

Designed primarily with motorcycle racing in mind, the 5.4km Lusail International Circuit is a fast and flowing track, where medium- and high-speed corners predominate. Over one km of the track’s total length is made up of the main straight, which provides plenty of overtaking opportunities into Turn 1.

Why go?

If you live in the northern hemisphere and the thought of escaping colder climes in October appeals, you’ll be well catered for in Qatar, with average temperatures around 28 degrees Celsius at that time of year. Unsurprisingly with that kind of weather, Qatar is a great country for outdoor pursuits, be that karting at Lusail itself, or trips into the desert to go sandboarding, camel riding and 4x4ing.

Best place to watch?

The Main Grandstand puts you at the heart of the action, with panoramic views of the start-finish straight, the pit lane and the team garages. Meanwhile, the new-for-2023 T2 Grandstand offers outstanding vantage points to enjoy the action through the circuit’s opening corners.

SAKHIR, BAHRAIN

When was the track built?

Ground was broken for the Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir in December 2002. Like the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, the developers had a blank, sandy canvas to work with, and with that fashioned the technical, 5.4km track designed by Hermann Tilke.

When was its first Grand Prix?

It was 2004 when the drivers first lined up under an unusually cloudy sky for the inaugural Bahrain Grand Prix. The race was dominated (like many in 2004) by the two Ferraris, with Michael Schumacher winning out from Rubens Barrichello, while the crowds were also treated to a fantastic dog-fight between the Jaguar of Mark Webber and the Renault of Fernando Alonso.

What’s the circuit like?

You can usually expect great racing and decent amounts of overtaking in Bahrain, while the drivers have to contend with wind, racing under floodlights and the difficulty of finding a decent set-up with the wide temperature fluctuations between sessions. The track’s most challenging point is the tight, downhill, off-camber Turn 10 left-

hander, while the fast run through Turn 12 is another highlight, allowing the racers to really feel their cars coming alive.

Why go?

Given the nature of the track, racegoers in Bahrain have always got a decent chance of being treated to a 'duel in the desert' or three. Away from the race track, Bahrain, as you might expect, is a great place to catch some rays, with the 33-island archipelago kingdom featuring some jawdropping resorts. And if you want to do some racing yourself, the Bahrain International Karting Circuit, located right next to the track, is one of the world’s top karting facilities.

Where is the best place to watch?

Your options are slightly limited in Bahrain, given that the organisers understandably don’t want loads of fans having to traipse out into the middle of a hot desert to watch the action! The best bet is to get a place in the Batelco grandstand, giving you a great view of cars charging into Turn 8, hammering through 9 and 10 and then passing you on the run down to the short-apex Turn 11. Otherwise, the grandstand on the outside of Turns 1 and 2 will allow you to watch overtaking aplenty on either track layout.

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA

When was the track built?

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is, you won’t be surprised to hear, a temporary street circuit (albeit adorned with some permanent sections), located on the Corniche – a 30km coastal resort area of the ancient Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah.

Designed by the Tilke company, in conjunction with Formula 1’s own Motorsports team. F1’s Ross Brawn said of the track: “What we want to see is a race circuit. We don’t want Mickey Mouse circuits. We don’t want those old classic street circuits with 90 degree turns. We want fast sweeping circuits, circuits which are going to challenge the drivers – and they are going to love it.”

When was its first Grand Prix?

The inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix took place in 2021, the race joining its Middle Eastern counterparts in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi – while like those races, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix also takes place under floodlights.

What’s the circuit like?

Fast. Very fast. Average speeds around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit are around 250km/h – quicker than those at Silverstone, and second on the 2021 calendar only to Monza – aka ‘The Temple of Speed’. It is, quite simply, the fastest street circuit ever seen in Formula 1 – while the track also features the most corners on the calendar with 27, many of them quick, sinuous bends as the drivers wend their way along the Jeddah waterfront.

Why go?

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix promises a sun-soaked festival of Formula 1, located on an idyllic stretch of the Kingdom’s coastline. The on-track action is stunning, as the drivers get to grips with this rapid street track, while Jeddah itself comes alive as the city revels in hosting the F1 circus.

Where is the best place to watch?

The average speeds around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit are such that any grandstand provides a spectacular viewing location. Nonetheless, the gladiatorial splendour of the grandstand surrounding the banked Turn 13 corner makes for a very special spot for F1 fans.

YAS ISLAND, ABU DHABI

When was the track built?

In 2006, plans were announced to develop Yas Island, located just to the east of Abu Dhabi, into a new tourist destination, with a major part of the plans centring around a 5.5km race track. The diggers rolled into what would become the Yas Marina Circuit in May 2007, with the project completed by October 2009.

When was its first Grand Prix?

In 2009. The track debuted as that year’s Formula 1 season finale, with Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel winning from team mate Mark Webber and the alreadycrowned 2009 champion Jenson Button. Vettel would go on to secure his first title in Abu Dhabi a year later, amid much crying.

What’s the circuit like?

The Hermann Tilke-designed

track is dominated by its 1.2km straight between Turns 5 and 6 – which, with slowspeed corners marking its beginning and end, makes it a honeypot for overtaking moves. Other highlights include the tricky run through Turns 10 and 11 into 12, which forces the drivers to brake hard with bags of lateral load still on the car. Track modifications ahead of the 2021 race, shortening the lap slightly to 5.28km, have only added to its excitement.

Why go?

Yas Island was a blank canvas for developers to turn into a tourist attraction, and 11 years and $40 billion later, they’ve nearly finished doing just that. Seven hotels, Ferrari’s indoor theme park, a mall, a water park, a golf course, a beach, a concert arena and a nightclub, all framed by perfect Emirati weather. What more could you want?

Where is the best place to watch?

Assuming you can’t get a room with a trackside view in the spectacular Yas Hotel – or a berth in a boat’s cabin in the marina – opt for a spot in the West Grandstand, a great place to watch all the overtaking action into Turn 6. Or if you’re more there for the atmos, stick yourself in the Main Grandstand overlooking the start-finish straight and enjoy Abu Dhabi’s famed pyrotechnics. It might be worth trying to get a seat high up in whatever grandstand you choose, though, if you’re looking to keep out of the sun.

COP28 PRESIDENT HERALDS BREAKTHROUGH ON ROAD TO DUBAI SUMMIT

COP28 President Dr. Sultan Al Jaber heralded the successful conclusion of a vital United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meeting on the implementation of the Loss and Damage Fund, held in Abu Dhabi, as a vital step towards a successful outcome on the road to COP28.

Once up and running the fund would provide particularly vulnerable countries, many at extreme risk from climate change, with funding to support recovery from the impacts of climate change.

Dr. Al Jaber said: “As we have shown in Abu Dhabi, Multilateralism works. The Transitional Committee has broken deadlocks and found common ground to deliver clear recommendations.

Parties must seal the deal in Dubai and fulfil our obligations on the Loss and Damage Fund.”

The recommendation, if adopted by consensus at COP28 has the potential to impact “billions of people, lives and livelihoods who are vulnerable to the effects of climate change.” They, Dr. Al Jaber said, “depend upon the adoption of this recommended approach at COP28.”

The Fifth Meeting of the Transitional Committee on Loss and Damage, held on 3 and 4 November in Abu Dhabi, has produced recommendations including the provision of muchneeded, grant-based support to countries particularly impacted by climate and loss. At COP28 Parties will now be responsible for operationalizing the fund.

“I welcome the agreement reached in Abu Dhabi by the Transitional Committee,” Dr. Al Jaber said in a statement. “This clear and strong recommendation to operationalize the Loss and Damage Fund and funding arrangements, paves the way for agreement at COP28.”

The agreement to establish a Loss and Damage fund was heralded as a key breakthrough at COP27 held in Sharm El Sheikh.

The COP28 Presidency hosted the meeting after the previous session ended without conclusion. The Transitional Committee was established after COP27 to

make recommendations for consideration and adoption at COP28, which is starting in 25 days, in Dubai. The UNFCCC managed the Committee meeting.

The agreed recommendations will now be socialized with national governments ahead of COP28, so the fund can be activated and capitalized.

The COP28 Presidency has repeatedly advocated for the operationalization of the fund and funding arrangements, with Dr. Al Jaber stating at last month’s Pre-COP event that Parties “must deliver” on the fund. Progress in loss and damage represents “taking action for the world’s most climate vulnerable people,” he told delegates during the event.

Unveiling the Wonders of Perception: Exploring Museum of Illusions Doha

Prepare to have your mind twisted and your senses challenged as we embark on a journey through the captivating Museum of Illusions in Doha. Nestled in the heart of Qatar's vibrant capital, this unique museum offers an immersive experience that blurs the line between reality and illusion. Step into a world where what you see may not always be what it seems, as we delve into the mind-bending exhibits and optical marvels that await visitors at Museum of Illusions Doha.

Upon entering Museum of Illusions Doha, visitors are immediately transported into a realm that will

make them question their own perception. The museum boasts an impressive collection of interactive exhibits that play with light, perspective, and the way our brains interpret visual information. From rooms that defy gravity to installations that challenge your balance and spatial awareness, each exhibit is carefully designed to provoke a sense of wonder and amazement.

The Ames Room, one of the museum's most popular attractions, creates a mind-boggling optical illusion that distorts the size and shape of objects. Visitors can step inside this peculiar room and

“Filled with mind-bending tricks where nothing is what it seems.”

witness firsthand how a person standing closer to the observer can appear giant, while another person standing farther away can appear miniature. It's an experience that defies logic and leaves visitors questioning their own eyes.

The Infinity Room is a masterful creation that manipulates mirrors, lights, and reflections to create an illusion of infinite depth and space. As you step into the room, you are immediately enveloped by a seemingly endless array of reflections that stretch in all directions, creating a breathtaking illusion of boundless expanse. Mirrors are positioned strategically on

the walls, forming a symphony of reflections that give the impression of multiple dimensions. The clever use of LED lights further enhances the illusion, creating a sense of depth and movement within the room. The result is a mind-bending experience that defies our understanding of spatial perception and leaves visitors questioning their own presence within the space.

Another highlight of Museum of Illusions Doha is the Vortex Tunnel. Brace yourself as you step onto a moving walkway that spins

and creates the illusion of a never-ending tunnel. This disorienting experience tricks your brain into perceiving motion where there is none, resulting in an exhilarating and unforgettable sensation.

With its thought-provoking exhibits and immersive experiences, Museum of Illusions offers a unique blend of entertainment and education. Whether you're a fan of optical illusions, a curious explorer, or simply seeking a day of mind-bending fun, this museum is a must-visit attraction that promises an unforgettable experience for all.

UAE LEADS WAY ON CLIMATE ACTION

As the first country in the region to ratify the Paris Agreement, the first to commit to an economy-wide reduction in emissions, and the first to announce a Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, the UAE is committed to raising ambition in this critical decade for climate action.

The 2015 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) made the UAE the first country in the region to commit to an economywide reduction in emissions by 2030, and it launched the National Net Zero by 2050 Pathway in November 2022, which sets the timeframe and identifies the mechanisms to implement the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative.

The UAE was one of only 29 countries to submit a revised second NDC ahead of COP27. The enhanced target is expected to translate into an absolute emissions reduction of about 93.2 million metric tons of CO2e.

COP28 PRESIDENCY ANNOUNCES THE NET-ZERO TRANSITION CHARTER

The COP28 Presidency has launched a charter to mobilize and encourage the private sector to take bolder action on climate and commit to greater credibility and accountability in their net-zero emissions pledges.

The ‘Net-Zero Transition Charter: Accountability mobilization for the private sector’ launch comes ahead of the COP28 conference, to be held in Dubai. The Charter follows a technical report from the Global Stocktake, which showed that the world is off track to keeping the goals of the Paris Agreement alive.

The Charter recognises the important role the private sector must play in combatting climate change. The private sector accounts for approximately

80% of global GDP, as well as the bulk of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

COP28 President, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber said, “The private sector's engagement in COP28 –their resources, expertise, and commitment – is vital in driving real-world action and achieving the ambitious climate goals set forth by the Presidency. For every pillar of our Action Agenda - fast-track the energy transition, fix climate finance, focus on nature, lives, and livelihoods, and

full inclusivity - companies can leverage their strengths and resources to advance our collective climate goals and provide us with required solutions.”

“The Net-Zero Transition Charter will further enable the private sector to take meaningful action on climate, track progress and be held accountable. We have strong collaboration with the private sector already in the consultation and development of many of the outcomes of the action agenda – and I encourage

all eligible private sector organizations to make this commitment and sign the Charter today.”

The COP28 Presidency has called for a collaborative approach to reduce emissions by 43% in the next seven years, with all sorts of capital- public, private and philanthropic sources necessary to help solve the emissions gap more effectively.

Dr. Al Jaber, continued, “Philanthropy equally has a crucial role; they raise

awareness on climate issues, they can convene as a neutral partner and bring risk-free capital to fund climate opportunities. More importantly, they can be nimble and help fast-track solutions especially when partnering with public and private funders. Less than 2% of total philanthropic giving ($810 billion in 2021) goes to climate and this is miniscule relative to the size of the problem we have. I hope to see many more philanthropists coming to COP28 and playing an active role in supporting climate

causes and solutions.”

By joining the Net-Zero Transition Charter, all organizations will commit to: Publicly set 1.5°C aligned, science-based, credible, and transparent Net-Zero 2050 and interim emissions’ reduction targets.

COP28 PRESIDENT CALLS FOR GLOBAL UNITY ON CLIMATE CHANGE

COP28 President Dr. Sultan Al Jaber addressed a record number of ministers and delegations from around the world at the opening session of Pre-COP, declaring that the international community needs to unite on climate action and that: “We have to come through. We must unite. We must act. And we must deliver in Dubai.”

Pre-COP, taking place today and tomorrow in Abu Dhabi, is a preparatory meeting of ministers and negotiators ahead of COP28. This year’s event has seen record attendance, with 70 ministers and over 100 delegations coming together in the UAE capital, more than double the normal number of participants for a Pre-COP.

Acknowledging that “there are too many things out there dividing our world at this moment,” the COP28 President declared that “Now more than ever we need to unite on climate and deliver a clear message of hope, solidary, stability and prosperity. We need to show that the international community can deliver and send a clear signal that keeps 1.5 within reach.”

Al Jaber pointed out that before the Paris Agreement, the world was heading for

more than four degrees of warming but is now on course for warming of two to three degrees, according to latest reports, “We are heading in the right direction, but nowhere near fast enough,” he warned.

Parties “must do better” on formulating agreements on issues than they had done at previous conferences, Dr. Al Jaber stated. “We have no time to waste on disunity,” he warned. “We must look beyond short-term thinking, we must end the excuses and delays, and redefine our selfinterest as common interest.”

“Let this process prove that multilateralism still works. I believe we can fulfil our responsibility. I know that we must.”

The COP28 President reiterated the need to deliver a robust response to the Global Stocktake,

and put the world back on track on delivering the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. He highlighted key areas of focus, including a strong mitigation outcome, a comprehensive adaptation agreement, and “groundbreaking solutions” on finance. “That includes delivering on the fund and funding arrangements for loss and damage,” he added. “What was promised in Sharm el Sheikh must be delivered in Dubai.”

“We need solid solutions for a 43 percent cut in emissions by 2030 because that is exactly what the science tells us,” Dr. Al Jaber said. On the issue of fossil fuels, he said, “I know there are strong views about the idea of including language on fossil fuels and renewables in the negotiated text. I need you to work together to come forward with solutions that can achieve alignment, common

The COP28 President reminded attendees that

“the world is watching. Our nations, our communities, our families, our kids, they are all watching. So, let us unite.”

ground and consensus between all parties. We must be responsible. We must be pragmatic. And we must leave no-one behind.”

Updating the meeting on policy, the COP28 President said: “More than 20 oil and gas companies have answered COP28’s call to end methane emissions by 2030. And I see positive momentum, as more are joining. And we are engaging with all high-emitting sectors, like heavy transportation, aluminium, steel and cement to lay out credible decarbonization plans.”

On finance, Dr. Al Jaber emphasized the importance of ensuring capital flows to where it is most needed, notably the Global South and of rebuilding trust in developing nations.

Speaking to promises made, he stressed that, “Old promises must be kept, like

the 100-billion-dollar pledge. I am grateful for the work of Germany and Canada on this, and their reassurances that things are now on track. But, as I stand here now, I still cannot say with certainty that has been delivered.”

He also outlined the importance of adaptation, calling for the Global Goal to be met, and stated that, “We must end deforestation and preserve natural carbon sinks… it is time for every nation to embed nature positive investments in national climate strategies.”

“We have the power, we must accept the responsibility,” he concluded. ““This process must not fail. We have to come through. We must deliver in Dubai.”

THE CHEDI HEGRA

Opening this winter, The Chedi Hegra is set in the UNESCOdesignated ancient site of Hegra, and will be a one-ofa-kind luxury boutique hotel integrating ancient structures with contemporary design, art-driven spaces and worldclass facilities.

The luxury 35-room hotel will occupy several existing structures, including an old railway station, Hegra Fort, and other surrounding buildings. Original structural and exterior walls, some built from mud brick, have been carefully preserved and integrated into the hotel’s modern architecture. The vast majority of the UNESCO World Heritage Site

will remain untouched by construction.

Each of the hotel’s three restaurants will offer a unique dining experience for guests and others visitors to Hegra. One inside the former railway station will feature an exhibition of preserved artefacts, including a fullyrestored Ottoman-era train. Another will sit within the

Hegra Fort and a third will feature unobstructed views from a sunken water basin seating area. Guests will also be able to enjoy full-service spa facilities and a swimming pool on site. An overhead art canopy inspired by wind and natural light will also elegantly connect much of the space throughout.

EMIRATES SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS

Emirates has unveiled plans for significant investments in its future fleet and capabilities, and inking new partnerships.

Already the world’s biggest operator of wide-body passenger aircraft, Emirates has unveiled orders for an additional 90 Boeing and 15 Airbus aircraft, bringing a total order book of 310 widebody aircraft for delivery through to 2035.

The announcements follow the UAE-carrier being voted ‘Middle East’s Leading Airline - First Class 2023’ and ‘Middle East's Leading Airline Brand 2023’ by voters of World Travel Awards.

The airline also announced a US$ 950 million investment to build a new ultra-modern engineering facility at Dubai World Central, purposebuilt to support Emirates’ aircraft fleet and operating requirements into the 2040s.

Spread over 1 million square metres, the engineering complex will be the largest and most advanced of its kind to be operated by any airline, adding a boost to Dubai’s world-class aviation infrastructure.

Underscoring the importance of the aviation value chain, Emirates inked significant agreements with longstanding and new partners. The airline awarded a series of contracts to Safran worth US$ 1.2 billion combined to furnish Emirates’ new fleet of Airbus A350, Boeing 777X-9 and its existing Boeing 777300ER aircraft with the latest generation Safran Seats.

To ensure its highly popular A380 fleet remains in tip-top condition, Emirates signed

over US$ 1.5 billion worth of agreements to optimize the double-decker jet’s lifespan. Emirates and Boeing will also leverage advanced digital technologies, including drone assisted aircraft inspections, the use of virtual and augmented reality to hone precision and effectiveness, and ushering in the next generation of prognostic and predictive maintenance.

Boosting connectivity options for customers, Emirates and Condor, activated a reciprocal interline agreement that will offer customers access to 70 routes operated by both airlines across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Middle East, with a single ticket fare and hassle-free baggage policy.

ETIHAD SHOWCASES NEWEST 787-9 DREAMLINER

Etihad Airways, currently celebrating 20 years of flying, is showcasing its newest Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to join its fleet.

The new aircraft, showcased at Dubai Airshow, will fuel Etihad’s ambitious growth plans, which include adding 12 new destinations this year, with further new routes in India, as well as Boston and Nairobi to begin operations in the coming months. The airline has also recently expanded its operations in multiple markets, with additional flight frequencies and improved connectivity across the network.

“Our 20th anniversary is a pivotal moment where we not only celebrate the achievements of the airline to date, but more importantly set a strong foundation and path for growth into the future,” commented Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Airways.

Etihad’s new 787 Dreamliner cabin interior showcases further enhancements to its award-winning cabins. The aircraft features Etihad’s newest cabin interior with 32 seats in Business class and 271 seats in Economy, with both offering bestin-class experiences for Etihad’s guests.

The Business cabin provides guests with a comfortable and spacious environment in Etihad’s signature style, and features a unique, customised version of the Elements seat manufactured by Collins. Etihad is the first airline in the world to introduce the Elements seat on the Boeing 787.

Etihad was voted ‘Middle East’s Leading AirlineBusiness Class 2023’ and ‘Middle East’s Leading Airline Inflight Entertainment 2023’ at World Travel Awards.

20 years of bringing the world to the UEA

The airline celebrated its 20th anniversary with a dazzling

illumination of the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai featuring a spectacular light and sound show to celebrate the airline’s history.

The special moment marked the 20th anniversary of Etihad's first commercial flight to Beirut in 2003, signifying two decades of aviation excellence and its commitment to guests.

Since its inception, Etihad has undergone substantial growth. The workforce has increased from 1,761 employees in 2004 to nearly 10,000 in 2023. Notable developments include significant growth in the Etihad Guest loyalty programme, an expansion of the aircraft fleet to 79 aircraft, and an increase in global markets served to over 70 destinations around the world.

The 20th anniversary coincides with Etihad’s move to its new home, Terminal A at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

OMAN AIR TAKES NEXT STEP TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Oman Air has replaced the plastic used to wrap blankets and mattresses in its premium cabins with an eco-friendlier paper-based alternative.

All duvets and mattresses across the airline’s fleet will now be presented to the guests with slim, branded paper bands, resulting in the reduction of up to 21.6 ton of plastic per year.

The initiative is the latest step for Oman Air as it continues to work towards phasing out the use of single-use plastics on board. Captain Nasser bin Ahmed Salmi, Acting Chief Executive Officer at Oman Air, said: “In a concerted effort guided by our in-house experts and bolstered by collaborations with partners and vendors, we have successfully achieved another milestone in our sustainability efforts.”

Oman Air has been making strides in reducing its on-board plastic consumption over the last few years, including removing the plastic sleeves used to load cutlery and reducing plastic water bottles and cuplets by up to 50% on certain routes. This year, it has also replaced 80% of its in-flight service carts with lightweight alternatives, providing a considerable boost to fuel efficiency.

Meanwhile, Oman Air’s continual efforts to minimise its environmental impact is demonstrated through a range of initiatives that underscore its dedication to promoting sustainable aviation practices.

FLYNAS LAUNCHES DAILY BAHRAIN SERVICE

flynas, the Saudi low-cost carrier, has launched its first direct flight between Riyadh and Bahrain. The Riyadh-based carrier was recently voted ‘Middle East's Leading Low-Cost Airline 2023’ at World Travel Awards Middle East Gala Ceremony in Dubai.
