I would rather not receive gifts this year. Not that I do not enjoy them, but my husband and I have grown closer over the past few months. I would love to have an expensive meal.
Adwa Al-Omairy

A box of chocolates. I do not care if it’s a cliché because I still like receiving them. Perhaps a picture frame or a meaningful T-shirt. It is something small but sweet.
Hafsa Ayub

The perfect gift would be something handmade like an explosion box of letters for each occasion. Maybe even a ‘Reasons why I love you’ jar because it is thoughtful and minimal.
Miral Khurram

I am a huge fan of perfumes. Although they run out after a while, it still makes me feel warm inside. I get to smell amazing and whenever I apply, I think about the person who gave it to me.
Arwa Khalid

I would like to receive an accessory, something that I can carry with me. Something that I can wear every day that reminds me of the gift giver.
Adil Khalid Jawed


Him

A long-lasting piece of jewelry that you can wear every day as a reminder that you are appreciated in the lady’s world.
Fahd Naseem

It is always tricky this time of year and there is nothing I would love more than a cake and a card from my children so my wife and I can celebrate with them. A messy ‘I love you’ is always a thoughtful idea.
Mohammed Al-Qahtani

 

I would love a card with our silly pictures on this Valentine’s Day. I just find it romantic. It is childish but that is just the kind of thing I like.

UAE’s Sheikh Tahnoon ‘welcome anytime’: Saudi media minister

  • Sheikh Tahnoon “comes to the Kingdom whenever he wants without permission; it is his home and its leadership is his family,” the Kingdom’s media minister wrote on X

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Media Minister Salman Al-Dossary refuted on Wednesday allegations circulating on social media that the Kingdom has denied entry to the UAE’s National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed.
“What is being circulated about the Kingdom refusing to receive His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed is incorrect. His Highness comes to the Kingdom whenever he wants without permission; it is his home and its leadership is his family,” the minister wrote on X.
Sheikh Tahnoon is the Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and brother of the UAE’s President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Tuesday that while there had been a “difference of view” between the two countries over Yemen, their relationship was “critically important” for regional stability.
“The Kingdom is always keen on having a strong, positive relationship with the UAE as an important partner within the GCC,” he said.
He said the UAE’s withdrawal from Yemen served as a “building block” for the relationship with the Emirates to continue strong.
Last month, Yemen’s internationally recognized government asked the UAE to withdraw its forces from the country after the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC) that it supported seized large areas in the south and east.
The Saudi-led military Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen said on December 30 that it had conducted a “limited” airstrike against shipments of smuggled weapons destined to the STC.
The UAE defense ministry said it completed a full withdrawal from Yemen on January 2.
