Sunset Hospitality is bringing AMMOS down the coast to Abu Dhabi. 🍽️💫

Setting up among the mangroves of Jubail Island, the new space feels entirely tied to the water. The kitchen focuses on exactly what you want from a Greek menu, proper charcoal-grilled seafood, a massive spread of dips, and plates made entirely for sharing.

Prepare to lose a good few hours here.

Gigi has become a familiar name on Dubai’s dining scene, with its Riviera-inspired setting at J1 Beach, long lunches and a menu built around generous Italian cooking. From signature pasta dishes to its much-loved frozen lemon dessert, the brand has developed an identity that goes beyond the usual beach club experience.

Its next chapter is one to keep an eye on, although the Abu Dhabi café’s menu and opening date are yet to be announced.

For Mo Amer, performing in the Arab world is more than another stop on tour. It’s a homecoming.

Ahead of his Abu Dhabi Comedy Season performance at Etihad Arena on 6 November, FACT caught up with the Palestinian-American comedian to discuss family, identity and the experiences that continue to shape his comedy.

He opens up about the emotional toll of creating his acclaimed Netflix series Mo, the connection he feels with Arab audiences and why, after years of telling deeply personal stories, he’s determined to rediscover the joy in stand-up.

What’s your favourite moment from Mo Amer’s stand-up or Netflix series?
