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.
Pulsing with creative energy and endless possibilities, #Dubai is the place to be and explore. This week, we pay homage to the city through the eyes of Omar Al Gurg (@oalgurg), who, in partnership with @LouisVuitton for its brand new Dubai City Guide, takes us through a journey of heritage, contemporary vision, and awe-inspiring beauty.
We won’t spoil much. Keep an eye on this space for more.

In a beauty world still obsessed with full coverage, glass skin, filter-proof finishes, and routines that require a spreadsheet, @Hermes Plein Air takes a quieter route.
With skincare built into the story, the Maison’s new luminous matte skincare foundation is not here to erase the face. It is here to let it breathe. Designed by Gregoris Pyrpylis, Creative Director of Hermès Beauty, the foundation expands the Plein Air universe with what Hermès calls “an invisible base for the face”.
Sometimes, the chicest thing makeup can do is calm down, sit beautifully on the skin, and let the face remain a face.

Yesterday, #BellaHadid wore a custom @schiaparelli haute couture dress by Daniel Roseberry at the 79th Cannes Film Festival.
Only she could channel Jane Birkin’s iconic 1974 Cannes white dress moment with Serge Gainsbourg. We love the energy.

Arab cinema has moved beyond simply “sending stories to the world” to actively participating in new production models that bridge regional authenticity with global accessibility.
This year’s #CannesFilmFestival exemplifies that transition not just via the films chosen, but also by the expanding Arab presence shaping world filmmaking from inside. Cannes jurors, including @KhaledMouzanar and @LeilaBekhti, represent a cultural shift in which Arab voices are now playing a crucial role in defining the artistic direction of the global film industry.
KHAMSA has curated a list of the 9 films coming together on the Croisette. Together, they tell a story of how Arab cinema is redefining itself not as a regional phenomenon, but as an essential force within the global cinematic conversation.

Through @BaytZuhal, #SalmaChouqair moves between memory and futurity, tracing cosmologies, Sufi aesthetics, ancestral futurism, and the histories often left outside the frame.
For our latest KHAMSA Interviews, we speak with the founder of the independent research project and online community exploring the creative, spiritual, and historical landscapes of the #Maghreb. In this conversation, she reflects on research as an act of return, imagination as resistance, and the worlds that emerge when we listen more closely to what came before.

Through @BaytZuhal, #SalmaChouqair moves between memory and futurity, tracing cosmologies, Sufi aesthetics, ancestral futurism, and the histories often left outside the frame.
For our latest KHAMSA Interviews, we speak with the founder of the independent research project and online community exploring the creative, spiritual, and historical landscapes of the #Maghreb. In this conversation, she reflects on research as an act of return, imagination as resistance, and the worlds that emerge when we listen more closely to what came before.

How do we organize the fragments of our collective memory? If the cinema screen is the ultimate archive, then the films we project are our most vital documents.
🎥 Cinema Akil proudly presents the 5th edition of Arab Cinema Week, running from the 5th to the 11th of June 2026. Marking a half-decade of celebrating our region's cinematic pulse, this year’s curation features 9 feature films from 7 Arab countries. With these films, we try to create a mosaic of feelings, histories, and shared joys and pains of our times!
At the very heart of this year’s program is a dedicated focus on Lebanese cinema, a landscape that has long served as a vital, breathing record of a nation’s ongoing negotiation with memory, conflict, and survival. We explore how the past is meticulously reassembled through the moving image, inviting our audiences to experience this through two distinctly brilliant approaches.

From London to the Riviera, @Burberry takes over the legendary @bellesrives, dressing the iconic Art Deco escape in its signature check for the season. Once home to F. Scott Fitzgerald as he wrote Tender is the Night, the hotel becomes the backdrop for a summer steeped in literary glamour, seaside nostalgia, and effortless elegance.
Think checkered loungers overlooking the Côte d’Azur, #Burberry ice lollies at golden hour, and waterskiing in the bay where the sport was born. A British house embracing the romance of the French Riviera, where heritage meets hedonism under the Mediterranean sun.

New York was never just a market for Gucci. More than seventy years later, the House returns to Times Square, not for nostalgia, but for something sharper.
GucciCore, #Demna’s fourth act in his ongoing character studies, collapses the worlds of La Famiglia, Generation Gucci, and Primavera into one singular wardrobe. Pragmatic yet theatrical, polished yet undone.
There are ladies-who-lunch in shearling, skaters in soft tailoring, financiers in pinstripes, socialites in croc-sequined eveningwear. A cross-section of New York dressed through the unmistakable language of Gucci. The House signatures remain, but reframed.
Before the show, Times Square transformed into a fever dream of @Gucci life, flashing imagined worlds. Gucci not simply as fashion, but as an ethos.
