Fahad Al Sheri has spent the better part of five years in the UAE watching how quickly this country moves — and making sure readers are never the last to know. As UAE News & Business Editor at What's Hot in UAE, he covers the policies, infrastructure projects, and regulatory changes that shape daily life across all seven emirates. His work sits at the intersection of government affairs and ground-level impact. A new bridge that cuts your commute by nine minutes. A change to end-of-service rules that affects your contract. A metro expansion that unlocks a new part of the city. These are the stories Fahad follows from announcement to delivery. Before joining What's Hot in UAE, Fahad contributed to regional business and current affairs coverage across several UAE-based platforms, developing a network of sources within government communications, urban planning, and the private sector. He reads every official gazette update so you don't have to. Based in Dubai, he covers the UAE with the attention to detail that only comes from genuinely living inside the story.
