Your next dining spot from city to the sea

Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Friday, 5 December 2025 - 1 hour 11 minutes

The weather is perfect in Dubai, so if you’re dreaming of your next long lunch or golden-hour dinner, there’s a new spot by the sea that’s already turning heads.

Canary Club, the JLT favourite known for its West Coast energy, has just opened a beachfront sister on Palm Jumeirah. 

We speak with husband and wife and co-founders of Rosy Hospitality Ziad and Rowan Kamel about the new chapter of their entrepreneurial life as they exited one brand they helped create.

With over 10 million guests expected to pass through DXB between now and the end of the month, many of us - whether flying out or staying put - may feel the ripple effect. We ask Emily Jenkins what these numbers really mean for travellers and Dubai residents alike.

Staying with travel, but closer to home - in Ras Al Khaimah. Jebel Jais has unveiled its programme for this winter season, running from now through until April 2026.

Talking F1 and sport tourism with ES Sport as we near this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 

And we get exclusive updates on all things Wicked before it goes to Dubai Opera from THE Helen Farmer.
