We did our research. We asked our community.
As Lebanon is under attack with many getting affected across the south of the country and the capital Beirut, this is the time for us to unite and redirect our attention towards charities, funds, and organizations to help those in need.

At KHAMSA, we love a playful match-up! No, we’re not certified astrologers–but with the bit of knowledge and a lot of interest–if we had to pair each zodiac sign with an Arab city, this is how we’d do it.
Think of it as a mood board for travelers: we looked at each sign’s energy: pace, passions, love language, and matched it with a city’s true vibe: culture, food, architecture, nature, nightlife. It’s less birth chart, more street sheet. Some pairings are bold and buzzing, others calm and soulful; all are grounded in what these places actually feel like right now.
Ready? Find your sign, meet your city, & tell us if we nailed it.

Dubai. The city we call home, the horizon we keep chasing, the city we dream in.

As #Dubai transforms once again for @ArtDubai , the city’s creative scene feels less confined to galleries and more embedded into the spaces around it. Few studios capture that energy quite like @Duette_Studio .
Created in Dubai by Fuad Ali (@fuadafro ) and Rahat Kunakunova (@raha_marmalade ), Duette is an independent multidisciplinary creative lab working across areas such as art direction, spatial design, immersive installations, campaigns, and cultural storytelling. Their work moves fluidly between different sectors, always rooted in emotion, and the way people interact with a space.
For KHAMSA, we interviewed the duo, Fuad & Rahat, where we talk about all things Duette. Discover more on khamsa.com.

Olive oil is a multifaceted ingredient of nature, orchestrating a symphony of taste.
With a history steeped in ancient Mediterranean traditions, olive oil is a timeless muse for chefs and food enthusiasts alike. In the region, it goes even further. It’s a true staple of everyday life, a must-have on every table, where meals rarely feel complete without a drizzle or two of olive oil.
Whether drizzled over a crusty baguette or embraced in the sizzling embrace of a frying-pan, olive oil is a culinary charmer that leaves taste buds in a state of perpetual admiration.
KHAMSA dives into the olive oil pool and highlight the ones that are making waves at this moment in time. Swipe and discover more on our website.

The sun-kissed glow we dream of, that perfect blend of warmth, vitality, and luminous radiance, has long been the signature of summer’s most captivating beauty moments.
From the strategic placement of cream blushes that mimic the sun’s gentle kiss across the cheekbones to the artful use of highlighters that catch light like sun-drenched skin, the modern sun-kissed look is both subtle and statement-making.
KHAMSA has curated the best products and techniques that make achieving the perfect sun kissed glow accessible to everyone. Whether you’re seeking that just-back-from-vacation radiance or want to enhance your skin’s natural luminosity for everyday wear.

@ArtDubai , but not as you know it.
For its 20th anniversary, the fair returns in a special edition format, trading spectacle for something more intimate, more collaborative, more regional. This year’s edition feels like a living archive of the communities, galleries and artists that shaped the region’s cultural language over the last two decades.
Among our highlights: @amjad_ghannam with @galleryoneramallah , where memory and material folded into one another with quiet intensity. #AmalAbdenour x @zoulikhabouabdellahartist at @liliabensalahgallery brought together gesture, ritual and femininity in ways that felt both deeply personal and politically charged.
At @galerieatissdakar , #KoffiKugbeKukoff’s works carried rhythm, texture and movement, while @lanakhayatstudio ’s unmistakable visual language added bursts of colour and irreverence across the fair.
Art Dubai 2026 reminded us that the region isn’t emerging anymore. It’s defining the conversation.
Stay tuned for more!

@FestivalDeCannes is back, and this time, with a jury that’s unafraid to speak out!
At the Festival, #Cannes Jury member #PaulLaverty shamed Hollywood for blacklisting pro-Palestine actors and expressed his solidarity with them.
“Isn’t it fascinating to see some of them like Susan Sarandon, Javier Bardem and Mark Ruffalo blacklisted because of their views in opposing the murder of women and children in Gaza”, said the Scottish screenwriter.
Additionally, Korean filmmaker and Cannes Jury President Park Chan-wook stated, “I don’t think politics and art should be divided. I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other.”
Paul added, referring to the actors using their voices to advocate for Palestine, “They’re the best of us, I look up to them.”
Hard agree, Paul!
