Dubai's Rebound, Qatar's Squeeze, and the $100M Race for Arabic Music Rights
from The Smashi Business Show · host Augustus Media
In this episode of the Smashi Business Show, we break down four stories reshaping the region's economy. Dubai's property market shows remarkable resilience, bouncing back to over 90% of normal transaction volumes just six weeks after regional tensions flared. Huda Beauty and Dubai burger joint DIME team up for a bold, unconventional PR campaign that's rewriting the marketing playbook. Qatar's economy faces its sharpest contraction in the Gulf as war disrupts LNG exports and forces deep spending cuts. And Anghami co-founder Eddy Maroun launches a $100 million platform to turn Arabic music catalogs into global entertainment franchises. Real estate, beauty, energy, and music, all in one episode.
