What happens when you trade an extra 90 minutes of sleep for a moment of stillness by the sea? I joined Ember Club for its Sunrise Experience in Dubai and discovered that sometimes the most meaningful way to start the day is by turning inward.
China Tang Dubai welcomes guests to its Marasi Bay terrace this cooler season, with a Saturday brunch and weekday business lunch, alfresco or indoors. Set at The Lana Promenade, Dorchester Collection, the Cantonese restaurant offers both menus on the waterfront, in its Art Deco dining room or in a private room.

Ayurveda and forest bathing are familiar around the world, yet the Arab world’s own ideas about health and wellbeing rarely enter the conversation. KHUN wants to change that. The preventive wellness company is based in Fujairah and built around a 48-hour Reset. It draws on older traditions from the region: Afiyah, a sense of wholeness; khalwah, intentional solitude; and the bimaristans, historic hospitals that used light, water and gardens as part of care. There are no classes, no set itineraries and nothing to book. The days are shaped by light, land and quiet.
Ahead of opening, we spoke to co-founders Ali El-Sakhawy, Aya Khourshid and Tarek Abou Dib. They explained why the region’s wellness heritage was mislaid, how to make solitude feel restorative rather than isolating, and what they hope guests take home once the 48 hours are over.

Imagine seeing a breast surgeon, having a mammogram and an ultrasound, and returning to the surgeon, all in one visit. That’s the kind of joined-up care Dr. Dania Alsammarae is building at Trellis Health, the new healthcare group backed by the Al Ghurair family.
Dr. Dania, who co-founded Anglo Arabian Healthcare, has spent years working in UAE healthcare. Now, as Chief Executive Officer at Trellis Health, they’re focused on what the group calls “Connected Caring”: doctors, nurses and specialists working as one team around each patient. We spoke to Dr. Dania about why integrated care is the future, what’s new in women’s health at Trellis, and why their smartwatch keeps them honest about rest.
