While the body of the new X100VI is pretty much identical to its predecessor (the new model is a tiny bit thicker) and therefore looking as stylish as ever, there are still a few changes for folks to get…
Yousef Hussein, a 22-year-old Palestinian-Canadian residing in Dubai, recently completed a 9-day-long journey on foot, covering over 450 kilometres from the last exit in Dubai to the UAE-Saudi, Ghuwaifat border.

They went to Jeddah and then to Makkah for Umrah, making the journey more special with a spiritual experience. Yousef, who recently graduated as a chemical…

I am making my return to tournament golf this week on the Asian Tour in Oman at the $2 million International Series – Oman. It is my first competitive tournament in four months and my first in 2024. The off-season break always gives us time to reflect on the previous year and learn. We are all learning about the game and ourselves all the same time, even me as a 42-year-old ‘veteran’ who turned professional in 2004. I realized that I made a few mistakes last year when I tried to come back too soon after my injuries. I had…
