#93 - The Great Expectations Issue

Issue 93 is our Great Expectations Issue: a defiant reminder that ambition, imagination and beauty still matter — and that the Arab world continues to shape them.

We meet Karim Benzema in Jeddah to talk legacy, faith and reinvention beyond the headlines. We spotlight Dhari Al Mutawa’s quietly radical logistics empire and Sara Al Rashed’s fast-rising clean beauty vision. We explore Carl Gerges’ latest architectural “album”, draw out sculptor Najla El Zein, and follow Serena Sefyan on her ascent. From the Grand Egyptian Museum to Raja Ampat and a debut Ares superyacht, this issue refuses to lower the bar.
