Rome was built by men who woke up early and slept on dirt. It was destroyed by those who slept until noon on beds of silk.

@Aysha__Mohamed Terrible. What airline was this? To think that they do this in the name of “security” or whatever was in her cornflakes in the morning!
Exactly what I tell people. The UAE is on the table with Israel so it can legally openly diplomatically discuss all issues. As a result of Abraham Accords, UAE was able to send the most aid to Gaza ($3b) and also warn/leverage the same against settlers/West bank annexation.
علاقة الإمارات باسرائيل
تتم في العلن بعكس علاقة جبناء تحت الطاولة
علاقة دولة بدولة وليست حلفا مع او ضد احد
تخدم مصلحة إماراتية وطنية
تقوي دفاعاتها وتعزز امنها الوطني
تم توظيفها لمساعدة غزة عندما تركها العالم
انا ضد التطبيع مع اسرائيل واكره نتنياهو لكن مع كل مايخدم وطني الإمارات
Dr Siti Hasmah’s passing is a big blow to 101 year old Dr Mahathir . Both were married for 70 years in fact they just marked their platinum wedding anniversary in August. Dr Siti Hasmah leaves behind 7 children, 18 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren .
Visitors to Dubai with outstanding legal or Interpol issues in other countries risk being extradited without due process, whether the allegations against them are genuine, evidenced or not. https://t.co/u5b26RA9Au
@AhajriAbdulaziz He can reach an agreement with the plaintiff on the installments and they will ask the court to remove his arrest warrant as well as wanted status. After he enters Qatar he will have a travel ban but is free to live work etc provided he doesn’t defer any agreed installment.
@donononono@fay_alif Sorry to hear of your experience. Wizz, just like any other carrier should have followed IATA rules. https://t.co/8XZeq2DEBh is what all airlines refer to at the check-in counter.
@fay_alif it says ‘send to embassy’ or consulate review, right? You didnt need to. But yes either give your biometrics to get it approved (Tasheer centre in Pakistan) or just travel, all airlines and borders know this rule. I wouldn’t be guaranteeing it if I didn’t know my stuff/seen cases
@fay_alif The Pakistani passport is not a problem. You’re good to go via land/air/sea border to Saudi and you’ll be given a multiple entry tourist visa with Hijri date on your passport, pay 390 SAR by any debit/credit card. 200% guarantee.
Dubai’s new visitor numbers show steady progress from the peak of the Iran war - over 800,000 tourists and hotel occupancy at 66% in August, with more growth projected for Q4. It begs the all-important question: when will international travelers be back in full force? I asked @DubaiDET's @issamkazim at @atmdubai:
I have asked the Punjab CM to ensure that every health facility in the country is made available for Nawaz Sharif to get the treatment of his choice. The federal govt will assist wherever required. I wish him good health.

Two photographs taken by my father, Ghulam Mohammed Kathwari, who knew Jinnah personally.
