Looking for cheap thrills, adrenaline rush and social media attention are few of the immediate reasons why some young residents are into dangerous driving. Early this week, on Monday, five young men — aged between 18 and 20 years old — were seriously injured in a horrific crash after performing dangerous stunts in Al Ruwayyah desert area. According to Dubai Police, the 19-year-old Emirati driver, identified only as M.A.M., was performing stunts in the sandy area when he made a sudden swerve that caused the vehicle to overturn. In a separate incident the next day, a young couple died after…
For Gaza resident Zaki Abu Sleyma, the water now flowing into the devastated enclave from a desalination project in Egypt tastes “like sugar” after weeks of Israel’s bombardment and siege left him and many others drinking unclean, brackish water. The water comes from three plants built by the UAE on the Egyptian side of the border and pumped into Rafah that started working on Tuesday, part of an effort to relieve one of the biggest humanitarian challenges in Gaza. “We were really suffering… we used to bring water from the sea before. This water tastes like sugar, it is drinkable,”…
Trainer Doug Watson will be hoping that the highly-regarded Isolate can bring some early festive cheer to his eight-time championship-winning Red Stables by taking out the Group 2 Al Maktoum Mile, one of multiple highlights on a talent-stacked nine race card at Meydan racecourse on Friday.

For people who live in dry climates or have sinus problems, humidifiers are a godsend. They’re also helpful during the winter, ensuring you have enough moisture in your home when you don’t want to open a window and let in the cold outside air. But to get the best out of your appliance, you’re going to have to clean it often, even if it’s one of the best humidifiers. Keeping your humidifier clean is not only important for its performance, but it’s also important for your health. According to the Mayo Clinic, a dirty humidifier can actually be a breeding…
It is evening as I hop on to a camel cart that is taking me to a landscape that I have heard so much about but never seen. As the cart trudges along, I am flooded with memories of images, social media posts and news articles I have read about the place. My reverie is jolted as I finally step on the Rann of Kutch. And as I walk towards the desert, the sand makes way for a milky whiteness that stretches as far as eye can see. And the perfect sunset framed by the orange-hued sky makes my long-cherished…
A shooter at a Prague university killed several people and injured dozens of others on Thursday before being “eliminated” by police. Czech police said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, shortly after 3pm that it was responding to a school shooting at Prague’s Jan Palach Square, before reporting it had “eliminated” the shooter. “The entire building is currently being evacuated and there are several dead and tens of injured at the site,” police said.

I have a love-hate relationship with SiriusXM. I love that it exists at all — and that it exists outside the prudish shackles of terrestrial radio. I love the breadth and scope of the content, from music to news to weather to comedy to live sports. I loathe the audio quality that comes with beaming sound from a satellite to a moving vehicle. I love that it’s pretty affordable. I love that SiriusXM gives you the option to stream in a mobile app, and I loathe that the app itself isn’t as quick and easy to use as pressing a…
School heads in the UAE are advising pupils not to slip into “learning regression” as students continue to enjoy a long winter break. Principals explain that recharging one’s batteries is a well-earned rest from study and is imperative but spending the entire stretch relaxing could put students at a disadvantage when they return to school in January. Meanwhile, research by the American Educational Research Association reveals that children might experience a decline of up to 40 per cent in the progress they have achieved during school breaks.
