By mentoring students, sponsoring projects, and helping to bring innovative ideas to life through technical and financial support, the initiative can become a benchmark for others to emulate moving forward, with key programs at the heart of its success.
One such program earmarked to make outstanding contributions is the ‘Research Incubation Program’, through which experienced researchers will guide entry and early-level Emirati researchers. Additionally, the program will present a host of career development opportunities alongside training in areas such as research collaboration, networking, publication support, data sharing, and open science.
“Learning from researchers with vast experience and expertise is a pre-requisite for young talent honing their craft and taking quantum leaps en route to realizing their full potential,” added Dr. Lamghari. “Providing platforms for students to learn from some of the nation’s most distinguished researchers is a prospect we’re very excited by, as is cross-sector collaboration.”
As per today’s announcement, Fujairah Research Centre aims to collaborate with industries via The Emirati Researchers to showcase the value of research and development in driving innovation and economic growth. Furthermore, the Centre aims to partner with universities and research institutions to promote the achievements of Emirati researchers and broaden interdisciplinary research.

LUMENA by OMNIYAT Sets a New Benchmark with Business Bay’s Highest Sales Value and Complete Sell-Out

OMNIYAT, the leading developer in Dubai’s luxury real estate landscape, has announced that LUMENA by OMNIYAT is now fully sold out. Unveiled on June 18, 2025, the ultra-luxury commercial development, located on Sheikh Zayed Road in the Burj Khalifa district, completed the sale of its last available space within just two months of launch.
With this impressive sales success, OMNIYAT has established its leadership in the ultra-luxury commercial real estate sector, as this latest milestone follows the recent success of ENARA by OMNIYAT, which is also fully sold out following its launch in Q2 2025. With ENARA establishing a benchmark, LUMENA has elevated expectations even further, setting a new standard for commercial luxury in Dubai.
At its initial launch, LUMENA by OMNIYAT, the ultra-luxury commercial office tower achieved Business Bay’s highest total sales value at AED 3.4 billion, underscoring the robust demand for premium workspaces in Dubai as UHNWIs from across the world continue to relocate to the city for its prosperous, business-friendly economy and elevated lifestyle offering.
Sitting at the intersection of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai, LUMENA by OMNIYAT is a work of architectural mastery, boasting signature features such as the never-before-seen Sky Theatre, and unparalleled amenities catering to the needs and desires of UHNWIs. The 48-storey tower will set a new benchmark for workplace environments in the region upon its completion in Q4 2029.
Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT, said: “As Dubai emerges as a global hub for the world’s elite, the success of LUMENA validates our vision to offer breathtaking spaces that raise the bar for what our clients can expect from their working and living environments. This exceptional project reflects OMNIYAT’s ongoing commitment to shaping the commercial landmarks of tomorrow, with more milestones to come.

ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS PRESENTS BESPOKE BLACK BADGE CULLINAN SERIES II ‘DESERT SUNSET’, COMMISSIONED THROUGH PRIVATE OFFICE DUBAI

Rolls-Royce presents its latest Bespoke commission from the Middle East – a captivating Black Badge Cullinan Series II inspired by the unique colours of the sunset over the client’s home city of Doha in Qatar.
The motor car’s Bespoke two-tone exterior paint finish features Bronze as the main body colour. This takes its cues from the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula, where the mix of iron-rich red and calcium carbonate-based white sands lends a warm, golden-brown hue to the landscape. The upper portion is finished in Sunrise Sparkle, which mimics the setting sun’s rays reflecting and scattering across the sheer glass and steel surfaces of Doha’s futuristic skyline. The interior is trimmed in Sunrise main leather with Casden Tan secondary and Havana tertiary leathers, complemented with seat inserts, piping, contrast stitching, and embroidered ‘RR’ headrest monograms in Sunrise. The seats are decorated with Bespoke perforations, which mimic the shapes of the clouds as they appear over the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood. The wood elements are crafted from Mimosa Negra open-pore veneer. Dark Spice carpets and Casden Tan lambswool floor mats complete the interior theme.

James Crichton, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented: “Our clients’ ever-growing demand for individualisation has made the Middle East our most valuable market for Bespoke motor cars in the world. Through our Private Office in Dubai, we bring the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood to our clients in the region, providing them with a unique opportunity to co-create their motor car alongside a dedicated Bespoke designer and specialised client experience manager. This expressive Black Badge Cullinan Series II highlights how our Bespoke team can capture the spirit of special places and cultures, and Cullinan’s potential as a canvas for self-expression, creativity, and artistry.”

Ayman Berjawi, General Manager, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Doha, added: “This remarkable Black Badge Cullinan Series II commission is a celebration of Qatar’s natural beauty and our client’s discerning taste. ‘Desert Sunset’ is not only a stunning expression of Bespoke craftsmanship, but also a reflection of the unique bond between Rolls-Royce and our clients in Doha. We are proud to see such a bold and emotive creation inspired by our home city, brought to life through our close collaboration with the Private Office in Dubai.”

The motor car was commissioned by a longstanding Qatari client through Private Office Dubai, located in the neighbouring United Arab Emirates. Available by invitation only, Rolls-Royce’s Private Office service gives clients the opportunity to develop the most detailed and complex Bespoke commissions in partnership with a Bespoke designer and dedicated experience manager permanently based in the region in private, relaxed surroundings.
Opened in 2022, Private Office Dubai was the first creative outpost outside the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood. It is now part of the global network that extends to other major luxury hubs including Shanghai, New York City and Seoul.

Private Office Dubai serves clients throughout the Middle East and Africa. The decision to begin building the international network here reflects the region’s status as Rolls-Royce’s leading market for Bespoke commissions by average value. Clients from the Middle East consistently request some of the marque’s most technically challenging, creatively ambitious, and highly individualised commissions.
