Silver trays, gilded lounges, and pastries that look more like art than dessert. Afternoon tea in Dubai isn’t just a ritual, it’s theatre.

From sky-high towers to royal decks at sea, each table tells a story of elegance and indulgence. Think clotted cream in Versace halls, whimsical cakes under glass domes, and whispers of tradition reimagined for a city that never settles for ordinary.

This isn’t just tea. It’s Dubai at its most decadent.

In a world of fleeting trends and over-edited content, one chef is doing things differently, authentically.

Meet Husen Fayad (), the Jnoubi soul behind those heartwarming Lebanese recipe videos you’ve probably saved, shared, or even tried to recreate. From hand-rolled kebbeh to towering wara2 3enab, his dishes aren’t just beautiful, they’re stories.

His journey took him from South Lebanon to Le Cordon Bleu Paris, but his roots called him back, not just to cook, but to preserve tradition and share it with the world.

“I don’t overproduce or complicate things. I show food the way I would make it at home. Food is emotional, and that’s what people connect to.”

Instead of chasing stars in foreign kitchens, Husen chose to elevate Lebanese cuisine at home, using modern techniques to make it shine while staying true to its soul.

His videos aren’t just recipes, they’re love letters to our culture, meant to be replayed, recreated, and remembered. From the kitchen of Arch Almoulouk to the screens of thousands around the world, Husen is doing what few chefs dare: making food personal again.

In this issue, we shine a spotlight on the storytellers shaping the future of hospitality with the release of our Top 30 PR Hotshots of 2025. From luxury launches to crisis control, these media powerhouses are the architects behind the region’s most impactful narratives, elevating brands, building reputations, and proving that influence is as much about relationships as it is about reach.

We also take you behind the scenes with OAK Hospitality (), the Saudi-born brand rewriting what it means to blend cultural depth with global ambition. From a 13-room concept in NEOM () to a multi-vertical empire, the founders’ vision is clear: hospitality that’s rooted in purpose, powered by people, and proudly regional.

Elsewhere in the issue, we explore the world’s first Hotel of Happiness, a Dubai-based concept inspired by the Danish philosophy of hygge, emotional wellness, and mood-based guest experiences. In the F&B world, matcha emerges as the region’s newest symbol of luxury, with brands and chefs embracing its ritualistic appeal and clean aesthetic. We also follow the journeys of women who rose from the floor to General Manager, capturing the candid moments, leadership lessons, and cultural shifts that shaped their path. And from bold ESG strategies to futuristic builds, the Sustainability Innovation Forum & Awards 2025 brought together visionaries from across the Middle East to reimagine what it means to lead with impact.

This issue captures a hospitality industry that’s not just evolving, it’s being rewritten by those who know how to craft a story, build a brand, and deliver an experience that resonates long after check-out.

As always, we hope you enjoy the read, whether you’re flipping through from your office, your travels, or your favourite café. September is here, and so is a fresh season of opportunity.
