The Six: Travel destinations Arab social media stars are visiting

La vita è bella

For Kuwaiti architect and style influencer Fatima Al-Momen, Capri was the perfect backdrop to sport her latest fashion styles. An A-listers hotspot, the Italian island is famed for its rugged landscape, upscale hotels and luxury shopping. While enjoying the Mediterranean sun onboard a boat, the reality TV star donned an off-the-shoulder yellow top – the trending color for this season - paired with white trousers.  

Turkish summer delight

Lebanese ‘It Girl’ Jessica Kahawaty opted to explore Turkey’s western coast for her first trip to the country this summer. During her trip, the beauty queen visited Bodrum, Cesme and Alacati and spent most of her days enjoying “turquoise” waters and her pink flamingo float.

Greece is the feeling

Dubai-based fashion designer Tamara Al-Gabbani spent summer exploring Greece. During her trip, the style icon visited the historic Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion - one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens. While in Athens, Al-Gabbani also spent time in Kifissia, an upscale district known for its designer boutiques.

Hola senorita!

A little further out than most, style blogger Nadya Hasan enjoyed the summer sun in Latin America’s Peru. The luscious green mountain drops and the ancient city of Machu Picchu made for the perfect Insta pic. Hasan – who fashioning colorful Peruvian ponchos during her trip - also “bombarded” her followers with pictures of adorable Lamas and Alpacas.


The Oriental Paris

Entrepreneur and fashion icon, Lana El-Sahely escaped to eastern Asia and enjoyed a short stay in Shanghai. The new mum travelled to China for an event with fashion label Massimo Dutti but wasted no time to explore the prosperous city. El-Sahely visited the Old City – the traditional urban core of Shanghai – and Yuyuan Garden (Garden of Happiness).


Cast away

Moroccan fashionista Saufeeya Goodson opted to trade Dubai’s scorching sun for an island getaway and hit the beaches of the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean nation, that shares the island with Haiti to the west, is a savannah with stretches of white sand and crystal blue waters. Besides enjoying the sandy beaches, a must see site for visitors is the El Limon Waterfall.

Amira Al-Zuhair joins Bulgari as ‘Friend of the House’

DUBAI: Saudi French model Amira Al-Zuhair has joined Italian luxury fashion house Bulgari as a “Friend of the House,” she announced on Instagram.

Founded in 1884, the brand is known for its jewellery, watches, fragrances, accessories, and leather goods. It is headquartered in Rome.

“I am delighted to announce that I have officially joined the Bulgari family as a Friend of the House. Looking forward to sharing more of our journey together — stay tuned!” Al-Zuhair said on social media, alongside a carousel of images.

In one of the images, taken at a Bulgari party, the model shows off a soft pink gown by Lebanese fashion house Georges Hobeika.

The event celebrated the Polychroma High Jewelry Collection, which was launched at May’s Met Gala in New York.

Al-Zuhair, born in Paris to a French mother and Saudi father, has made her mark on the fashion world and appeared on the runway for an array of renowned fashion houses.

She has walked for Missoni, Maison Alaia, Brunello Cucinelli, Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Giambattista Valli, Giorgio Armani, Elie Saab and many more.

In addition to her runway appearances, Al-Zuhair has featured in campaigns for high-profile brands including Prada, Chanel and Carolina Herrera.

Al-Zuhair also made a runway appearance in May when she walked in Louis Vuitton’s high jewelry collection show, held at Bellver Castle on the island of Majorca, Spain.

In late May, Al-Zuhair also reflected on her recent campaign with Balmain, sharing photos from the Resort 2025 collection shoot. “Had so much fun shooting inside the Eiffel Tower herself!” she wrote in the caption.

It was not Al-Zuhair’s first collaboration with Balmain. She previously walked for the brand during Paris Fashion Week in September.
