Dubai's New Chapter: Travel for Everyone, Everywhere

 

Dubai's New Chapter: Travel for Everyone, Everywhere

Dubai has always been a dream destination — filled with glittering skyscrapers, golden deserts, and luxury at every corner. But now, it’s adding a new kind of magic: true inclusivity.

In an inspiring move, Dubai has officially become the first Certified Autism Destination™ (CAD) in the Eastern Hemisphere. Awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), this achievement shows that Dubai isn’t just about luxury — it’s about opening its arms to everyone, regardless of ability.

Led by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, and powered by passionate partnerships, this project has seen over 70,000 people undergo specialized autism and sensory training. More than 300 hotels and 15 popular attractions have joined in, creating experiences where everyone feels welcome.

The heart of this change? It’s a powerful online program called "Dubai Way", created by the Dubai College of Tourism. It teaches hospitality teams how to support People of Determination with empathy, communication strategies, and sensory understanding — helping make every moment magical for visitors.

The effort doesn’t stop there. Dubai Airports and Emirates Airline have thrown their full support behind this movement. In fact, Emirates is now the first autism-certified airline in the world, training over 30,000 employees to better assist passengers with autism and sensory needs.

Dubai’s bold steps toward inclusivity show that luxury isn’t just about glitter — it’s about creating a world where everyone belongs. And now, in Dubai, everyone truly does.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...
