1. Emirates Partners Up With Bahamasair

Emirates has inked a shiny new interline agreement with Bahamasair. What does this mean for you?

No more ticket-juggling, just seamless travel and a generous baggage allowance to boot.

2. Fujairah Accident: 20 Vehicles, 9 Injured

In light of recent news, a multi-vehicle crash involving 20 vehicles and four trucks rocked the road from Waib Al Hannah to Dibba Al Fujairah. 9 people sustained injuries, ranging from minor to moderate. Police, ambulances, and emergency crews rushed to the site to extend help and aid. An investigation is underway, and legal action will be taken on the matter.

Get ready to experience real lunar magic. The UAE skies just treated stargazers to a rare Strawberry Moon, the final full moon of spring 2025. This moonrise was the first of its kind in 18 years and won’t be seen again in such a low sky position until 2043. If you missed it, you’ll be waiting a while. Maybe mark your calendar now?

4. Free Sunset Yoga Under Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Dome

On Friday, June 21, Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Indian Embassy are hosting a free sunset yoga session beneath the museum’s iconic dome. It’s all part of the 11th International Day of Yoga. Just imagine striking a warrior pose surrounded by world-class art and Arabian skies. Spots are limited, though. Registration is open online, so get your mat ready.
