Introducing the Collectors Issue of Architectural Digest Middle East This issue pays tribute to the art of collecting in all its forms, showcasing the passion and vision of those who curate pieces that transcend the sum of their parts. The cover story features the remarkable Amman home of Ahmad and Sirine Abu Ghazaleh, designed nearly two decades ago by the late Lebanese architect Pierre Bassil. The double-height, glass-lined courtyard sets the tone with a powerful display of global contemporary art, including works by Chris Ofili, Mohamed Bourouissa, and Zhang Wei. Other highlights include Paula Al Askari’s exquisite archive of antique textiles, a review of Cheval Blanc Seychelles with exclusive artworks by Joël Andrianomearisoa, and a look inside Highacre—Hannes Stander’s serene forest retreat in South Africa’s Knysna Forest.

Vogue Arabia Returns with Two Arab Icons in One Conversation For its March issue and the first under Condé Nast’s owned portfolio operations in the Middle East, Vogue Arabia brings together two of the most influential Arab figures of our time: Achraf Hakimi and Imaan Hammam. The Paris Saint-Germain football star and the international supermodel sit down for an exclusive cover story, sharing a candid conversation about heritage, global fame, and breaking barriers. From the football pitch to the runway, Hakimi and Hammam embody confidence, ambition, and cultural pride, bridging the worlds of sports and fashion with effortless authenticity. 📍 Shot in Paris, dressed in the season’s finest from Chanel, Prada, and Gucci, they reflect on their Moroccan and Egyptian roots, their personal journeys, and the power of representation. Manuel Arnaut, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue Arabia, on the cover stars:"Achraf Hakimi and Imaan Hammam are more than global stars; they embody cultural pride and perseverance. In a world that often demands compromise, they have remained unapologetically themselves, embracing their Arab roots while excelling on the international stage.
