Description
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.
