      Why you should experience this luxe Italian escape in the heart of Dubai

      With post-vacation blues having a serious effect on us, Dubai’s Bvlgari Yacht club is here to help with some late summer lounging.
      If you’re finally ready to venture back out into the sun as summer begins to cool to more optimal temperatures, this upscale haven is the ideal day-cation location to relax, unwind and feel like you’re still in Italy.
      For a truly crafted experience, we’ve curated a guide on how to make your next visit to this nautically inspired venue a memorable one.
      The ultimate relaxation
      Bulgari’s first-ever Yacht Club overlooks a 46-boat harbour and recreates the charm of a Mediterranean atmosphere in Dubai. The poolside cabanas are the perfect location for reading as the shoreline breeze keeps you cool. Occasionally you’ll be interrupted with a homemade ice lolly to cool down. It’s the little details.

      The fine-dining experience
      Whether you opt for indoor with chic leather seating in warm caramel leathers or outside overlooking the marina – dining for lunch or after hours under the stars feels just as special. The team here is the perfect combination of attentive yet not intrusive, a balance that brings ease to your dining experience in the peace that everything is taken care of.
      The hero dish
      As Primi Piatti you really can’t go wrong with Tagliatelle fatte in casa con ragu di vitello (homemade tagliatelle with veal ragu). If you’re gluten-free they will cook penne for you to al dente perfection so you can still indulge. Secondi wise–opt for one of their specialty fish dishes, we loved Orata alla Palermitana (Seabream Palermitana style).
      What to pack
      To ensure you’re styled to perfection for your next visit, we’ve compiled a sophisticated edit of what to pack from head to toe.

      Dubai carrier Emirates has unveiled an enhanced flight network after signing a “historical commercial agreement” with US-based airline United.
      In a statement released via the Dubai Media Office, the two airlines announced a codeshare and interline agreement to enhance each airline’s network.
      “Emirates and United announced a historic commercial agreement today that will enhance each airline’s network and give their customers easier access to hundreds of new destinations within the United States and around the world,” the statement read.
      From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston – three of the biggest business hubs in the U.S – will be able to easily connect to United flights to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket.
      From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston will be able to connect onto United flights to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket, a statement said. At other US airports served by Emirates, namely Boston, Dallas, LA, Miami, JFK, Orlando, Seattle and Washington DC – both airlines will have an interline arrangement in place.

      Meanwhile, United will launch a new direct flight between Newark and Dubai, starting March 2023. From Dubai, passengers will be able to travel on Emirates or flydubai to more than 100 cities.
      The airlines said that tickets for United’s new Dubai flight are now on sale. However, codeshare activities and United’s new flight to the emirate are subject to government approvals.
      Customers of both airlines will soon be able to book connecting flights on a single ticket, easing check-in and luggage transfer. The agreement will also grant loyalty programme members of both airlines additional reward opportunities.
      Emirates Skywards members can soon earn miles when they travel on United-operated flights, and United Mileage Plus members flying on United’s New York/Newark to Dubai flight will be able to earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai, the statement added. Eligible customers travelling on codeshare flights will also be able to enjoy access to Emirates and United lounges.
      Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, said: “Two of the biggest, and best-known airlines in the world are joining hands to fly people better to more places, at a time when travel demand is rebounding with a vengeance. It’s a significant partnership that will unlock tremendous consumer benefits and bring the United Arab Emirates and the United States even closer.
      “We welcome United’s return to Dubai next year, where our hub Dubai essentially becomes a gateway for United to reach Asia, Africa and the Middle East via the combined network of Emirates and flydubai.”
      “This agreement unites two iconic, flag carrier airlines who share a common commitment to creating the best customer experience in the skies,” added Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. “United’s new flight to Dubai and our complementary networks will make global travel easier for millions of our customers, helping boost local economies and strengthen cultural ties.”
      Both airlines have recently announced significant investments to enhance their fleet and bolster customer service. Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft as part of a $2bn overhaul.
      The Dubai-based carrier also announced recently that is investing over $350m to equip its 50-strong fleet of A350s with next-generation inflight entertainment solutions.
      Meanwhile, United will add 500 new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to its fleet with a focus on a new signature interior, the carrier added.

      4 major changes on you’ll see on your iPhone after the launch of iOS 16

      by

      Lifestyle

      by Team Emirates Woman
      3 hours ago

      Following the official launch of the iPhone 14, Apple has unveiled iOS 16 which is available for owners of the iPhone 8 and onwards.
      The tech giant has claimed the latest iOS version offers “all-new personalisation features, deeper intelligence, and more seamless ways to communicate and share”.
      However, with a whole host of changes available on the new software including notification changes to message edit options, Emirates Woman breaks down some of the most prominent updates in this new version of iOS.
      Changes to your notifications
      Perhaps the biggest change with the latest Apple update is the notifications tabs. With iOS 16, notifications now roll in from the bottom of your lock screen, aiming to make them easy to see at a glance as they roll in.  Apple users can also choose to view notifications in an expanded list view, stacked view or count view.
      Message edits
      We’re all guilty of it – sending a text message with a typo. However, in the latest iOS update, users can edit a message up to 15 minutes after sending. You canalso undo send on a message for up to two minutes, and a conversation can be marked as unread at any time so you remember to come back to it later.
      Go hands-free
      For those who prefer to dictate their messages rather than type, the new update has made this experience a whole lot easier. According to Apple, the “new Dictation experience which allows users to fluidly move between voice and touch, automatically inserts punctuation marks and even adds emoji from voice description”.
      Personalise your lock screen
      One of the biggest takeaways from the iOS 16 update is the ability to personalise your iPhone, particularly with the lock screen. Users are now able to “add a photo to your Lock Screen and it will be artfully displayed around the date and time, you can set photos to shuffle throughout the day on your Lock Screen, or you can even choose a unique combination of emoji and colours to use as  wallpaper”, Apple explains.
      iOS 16 is now available to download on all iPhone 8 models and onwards.

      With Dubai always known to aim for the stars, the emirate has its eyes on a Lunar resort addition aimed to welcome tourists and astronauts.
      Known as Moon Dubai, this destination resort project aims to give visitors a soaring experience of what it is to be in space without leaving the earth’s orbit.
      This sphere-shaped project, which is estimated to cost around $5 billion (Dhs18 billion), is said to total 735 metres in height and will need at least 48 months to complete once approval is given. Featuring approximately 300 private luxury residential units and training facilities for leading astronauts, the resort is another step for the UAE into space exploration.
      The Moon-shaped structure will allow visitors to experience zero gravity, walk on a lunar surface or even ride in a rover and will also feature a spa and wellness section, a nightclub event centre, a global meeting place, a lounge and an in-house moon shuttle.
      Further details will be revealed closer to the project completion.

      To display renderings of the resort in the heart of Downtown, Moon World Resorts Inc. (MWR) has shared a series of images for the UAE to know what this awe-inspiring resort will look like once finished.
      Spearheaded by entrepreneurs Michael Henderson and Sandra Matthews, the facility claims it’s able to accommodate around 10 million visitors annually.
      With plans for further expansion, the company is seeking a license for four more potential locations in America, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
      Operating under the tagline “because you’ve been everywhere else”, this enticing new resort ensures visitors embrace a zero-gravity experience from the moment they enter.
