Dubai: RTA honours over 2,000 taxi drivers for customer service, skill
Over 2,000 Dubai taxi drivers have been honoured by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) for their customer service and skill. Under the "Road Ambassadors" initiative, RTA praised the work of 2,172 taxi drivers who have followed all rules and regulations, upheld high standards of personal and vehicle cleanliness, and returned lost items to their owners. Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA's Public Transport Agency, said, 'The recognition covered 2,172 drivers in 2024 and up to the first half of this year." He added that this programme has "fostered a spirit of healthy competition among drivers", and has enhanced customer satisfaction.

Dubai's sleepy summers a thing of the past as economic activity heats up
The summer months in Dubai have typically been a time when many travel, move house or depart for good. The events season takes a breather and those who remain enjoy a couple of relatively more peaceful months. But as Dubai's population continues to rise, is the city starting to shake off the traditional summer slowdown and become a place of year-round activity? The National spoke to experts from hospitality to property to try to gauge if things were changing. 'There is no such thing as a downtime any more,' said V Nandakumar, director of marketing and communications at Lulu Group which operates retail outlets across the UAE. 'Traditionally, July and August were always seen as non-peak … because of the weather conditions and the fact people travel out of the UAE,' he said. 'But that is not the case now.' 'People don't want to leave' Hitesh Vachhani, team lead of commercial at Santa Fe Relocation in Dubai, said June to August used to be peak time for their moving business but that is no longer the case. 'Fifty per cent to 60 per cent of our volume used to happen in the summer months,' said Mr Vachhani. 'Now it is only 20 per cent because it is spread out during the year. 'There are a few schools now who are even accommodating mid-year admissions if they have space. And this was never the case before.' Authorities have made major efforts over the past few years to get more people to visit and stay in Dubai through initiatives such as liberalised visa rules, investment in education, and new residential developments. Growing population Dubai's population is increasing – at 3.98 million on Monday – up from 3.77m on the same day a year ago – and this may also partially explain why the city feels slightly busier in the summer. Mr Vachhani said there was a time when people moved with their families, stayed for an assignment period and then went home but this was also no longer valid, meaning Dubai is a less transient place. 'People don't want to leave,' he said. 'Because going back is the last resort.' And even of those who move to a new assignment − often to other regional countries − their families often stay here. 'That has never happened in the past. People don't want to leave in the summers.' Hotel occupancy on the rise Statistics shared with The National by the CoStar Group, parent company of hotel analytics provider STR, showed that yearly occupancy data to June is 81.4 per cent – up 4.5 per cent on 2024. And monthly occupancy data to July 26 stands at 70.3 per cent – a rise of 3.7 per cent per cent on last year. 'We can't really identify if it's staycations or tourists at this point without knowing how tourism arrivals are trending at the same time,' said Kostas Nikolaidis, senior account manager for the Middle East and Africa at STR. 'But one thing is for sure, hotels are busier as occupancies are growing.' Mr Nikolaidis said summer still had significant room for growth as 'overcoming seasonality is a monumental challenge for all destinations'. 'However, Dubai is taking steady steps in the right direction. Even now in the heat of summer.' Hospitality groups also said they had noticed a rise in business over the summer. Paul Stevens, chief operating officer, Middle East, Africa and Turkey, for the premium, midscale and economy division at Accor, said it was clear that Dubai's traditional summer slowdown was 'softening' with marketwide demand 'up two per cent over summer 2024'. 'While July had a brief dip due to regional events earlier in the month, overall, this summer is shaping up stronger than last year,' he said. Mr Stevens said the strength of the euro against the dirham made Dubai about 10 per cent more affordable for many European travellers compared with last year and an increase in inbound flight capacity – up around two per cent to four per cent from 2024 – was also important. 'Across our Accor portfolio in Dubai, we've seen a noticeable sharp rise in both international arrivals and staycations, despite the Middle East tensions in June and early July,' he said, with the city's investment in experiences that were indoors and climate-controlled bolstering this. 'For us, that's a shift worth watching,' he said. 'Dubai isn't just a seasonal hotspot any more, it's a 12-month destination and summer is increasingly part of that success story.' Even at Dubai Gold Souq, there were signs that long term trends pointed to the city getting busier. 'If we compare from the past two to three years, then this summer is quiet,' said Arjun Dhanak, director of Kanz Jewels, who said gold reaching record highs meant some customers were waiting to buy. 'But if we compare with 10 years ago, it is busier.' There are also signs of growth in the property market. According to the Dubai Land Department, property transactions were up 26 per cent in first half of the year as more tenants convert to buyers. 'Contrary to the typical seasonal slowdown often associated with the summer months, this year the Dubai real estate market has continued to perform robustly,' said Zacky Sajjad, director of business development and client relations at the Cavendish Maxwell property consultancy. 'Our data shows that residential transaction volumes in June and July 2025 increased by 18.6 per cent year-on-year, with the total value of transactions rising by 19.5 per cent compared to the same period last year. Mr Sajjad pointed to the fact Dubai International Airport reported a record first half of the year, how hotel occupancy levels are growing every year and the fact Dubai's population increases bring further demand to the residential and hospitality sectors. 'From a practical standpoint across the industry and asset classes, it is clear there has been no significant summer slowdown, so far,' he said. 'On the contrary, the market appears to be maintaining strong transactional and operational activity, reinforcing Dubai's position as a resilient and attractive global real estate hub, even during the traditionally quieter summer season.'

Tenable One surpasses 300 integrations
Tenable One now connects more of the security stack than any other exposure management platform, empowering customers with unmatched context into their cyber exposure Dubai, UAE – Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced a major new milestone as the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform now features over 300 validated integrations, making it the most open and interconnected exposure management platform on the market. This solidifies Tenable's position as the central hub for security data, analytics, and unified risk reduction, limiting the industry silos caused by fragmented visibility that have long plagued security teams. In an era where the average enterprise uses 83 different cybersecurity tools1, organizations face a chaotic and siloed view of their attack surface. This fragmentation creates dangerous blind spots that attackers exploit, while security teams waste critical time manually reconciling disparate data instead of stopping threats. Tenable One uniquely solves this challenge by serving as the essential connective tissue for the security stack. While exposure management is still a newer area of focus for most organizations, it has become clear that a robust but open platform with bi-directional partnership among vendors is essential to a preventative approach to cyber risk reduction. 'A closed-off platform isn't just an inconvenience - it's a security risk, and Tenable is leading the charge to tear down these walls,' said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. 'Reaching over 300 integrations is a fundamental shift in cyber control. We're giving our customers the power to see everything, connect everything, and manage their exposure from a single, unified platform without having to replace the tools they already trust. This is the future of cybersecurity, and Tenable is delivering it today.' The Tenable One platform unifies data from across the technology ecosystem—including endpoint detection and response (EDR), cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPP), asset inventory, privileged access management (PAM) tools and more—to provide a single, contextualized view of risk. By ingesting and correlating third-party data, Tenable One enriches it with threat intelligence and business context that identifies blind spots, allowing teams to visualize attack paths and perform contextual analysis to cut through the noise and focus on the exposures that matter most. By seamlessly integrating with IT service management systems, communication platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and patch management tools, Tenable One doesn't just provide insight—it drives action. The platform automates remediation workflows and streamlines cross-team collaboration, dramatically reducing the time it takes to investigate and close exposures. Two-thirds of Tenable One customers — including many of the most security-mature organizations — already leverage Tenable integrations. This open ecosystem delivers measurable impact, with some Tenable customers reporting up to 10x greater visibility and 75% less time spent aggregating data, freeing teams to focus on preemptive, risk-based operations. To further accelerate integration development and expand ecosystem reach, Tenable is introducing a universal integrations connector for the Tenable One platform this fall. This flexible, self-service framework enables customers and partners to easily build and maintain their own integrations – securely connecting custom applications and security tools to Tenable One without waiting on vendor roadmaps. It reinforces Tenable's commitment to openness while empowering organizations to tailor the platform to their unique environments. What Partners Are Saying 'Effective security requires collaboration, and our partnership with Tenable exemplifies this approach in action. By integrating Tenable One's rich exposure data directly into Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise Security, and SOAR, we are providing our joint customers with unparalleled context to detect and respond to threats faster than ever before. The breadth of Tenable's ecosystem is a massive force multiplier for security operations teams.' – Gretchen O'Hara, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Splunk 'The traditional boundaries between security and operational teams have blurred, and meaningful risk reduction demands coordinated action across the business. The deep integration between Tenable One and the ServiceNow AI Platform helps close the gap between vulnerability identification and enterprise-scale remediation. Together, we're enabling customers to accelerate response and embed risk reduction into the fabric of how work gets done, ensuring critical exposures are addressed before they can be exploited.' – Lou Fiorello, GVP and GM of Security and Risk Products, ServiceNow 'Compromising privileged access remains the primary goal of cyberattackers, and understanding exposure is critical. The integration between the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and Tenable One gives our joint customers a powerful advantage. With a unified approach that combines deep vulnerability insights with intelligent privilege controls, organizations can pinpoint risks to their most sensitive accounts and act swiftly to secure them, preventing privilege escalation and stopping breaches.' – Joanne Wu, Vice President, Business Development, CyberArk About Tenable Tenable® is the exposure management company, exposing and closing the cybersecurity gaps that erode business value, reputation and trust. The company's AI-powered exposure management platform radically unifies security visibility, insight and action across the attack surface, equipping modern organizations to protect against attacks from IT infrastructure to cloud environments to critical infrastructure and everywhere in between. By protecting enterprises from security exposure, Tenable reduces business risk for approximately 44,000 customers around the globe.
