Episode description
A landmark ruling in Abu Dhabi’s family court sees an American woman awarded AED 100 million in a divorce settlement. Katie Chambers speaks to the lawyer who led the case to find out what this means for expatriates and family law in the UAE.
With the KHDA giving the green light for schools to raise fees, one of Dubai’s biggest school groups has announced a freeze—for the seventh year in a row. We find out what this means for parents, and whether other schools could follow their lead.
Plus, Katie meets the 18-year-old Emirati sprinter Maryam AlFarsi who broke the 13-second barrier in the 100m and sprinting her way onto the international stage.
