Barbie
My wife and I recently had the opportunity to watch 'Barbie' in the cinema, motivated by a rather unusual concern. My children, with the eldest being 27, have little to no familiarity with Barbie, unlike my wife’s generation.The film's hype, in both traditional forms of media and social media, had no connection to the actual storyline of the film.The film affirms that life is a partnership between women and men, each inhabiting their own worlds.The film highlights the challenges faced by women who balance roles as employees, wives, and mothers, protecting their husbands, families, and children while maintaining their success and continuity in their work. It also portrays the extent of the hardships these tasks pose for women.On the other hand, the film shows that men are...

Women’s empowerment in sports sector

Saudi Pro League and the stupid interference by Western media
First and foremost, I acknowledge that I am not well-versed in the realms of international or local football. My limitations may extend to following specific clubs, but due to my professional work, I've observed that football has been a source of great interest and passion for Saudis for decades.When Saudi Arabia embarked on the path of planning and defining future goals through the Vision 2030 programs, the higher authorities, under the astute and dynamic leadership of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, the architect of the vision and reform, devised a unique mechanism to support the sports sector, particularly football, the most popular sport globally.This was achieved through the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, which allowed...

Saudi Pro League and the stupid interference by Western media

Towards a fair perspective on Saudi Arabia
By Jamil Al-DandanySaudi Arabia has been in the news lately for the wrong reasons. This time it is the transfer of star footballers to the Saudi Pro League, as well as the merger of PGA and LIV golf. Most of the commentary about those two events reveals again that Saudi phobia is well entrenched, as it peddles the notion that the driver for those sporting developments lies in a sinister plot of “sport-washing.”Reasonable people can disagree on the merit and effectiveness of both exercises: is this the way to create a sporting culture amongst a young population (who make up the majority of Saudis), to draw attention to the domestic football league with the hope of financial rewards and an enhanced quality of life in the country, or to generate global good will? Or is it necessary to...

Towards a fair perspective on Saudi Arabia

Ford v Ferrari
This is in light of re-watching Ford v Ferrari, a film that confirms a cinematic relationship between the car industry and the cinema industry, including fashion and luxury.An incredible film starring numerous A-list celebrities, including Christian Bale and Matt Damon, the movie sheds light on the drama of motorsport competitions — how car manufacturers face off in such competitions, Le Mans being a primary example.The story was about the rise of Ford against Ferrari’s dominance back in the early 60’s, winning back-to-back championships from 1966 to 1969.The automotive industry is one of the largest and most influential sports around the world. It’s a high-risk, low-reward industry that requires high funding. F1 in Saudi Arabia has had the support from the largest companies in the...

Saudi Arabia moves forward with lofty missions disregarding its detractors
The Saudi ‘genie’ takes off despite the attempts of those who look at every move or statement made by Riyadh with envy, hatred and political stupidity.This distressed ‘clique,’ instead of looking at the cup to see if it is half full, seeks, as usual, to turn it upside down, and then begin to define their previously known positions. It is as if they are denying Saudi Arabia’s lofty position in its capacity as the regional heavyweight, as well as its Islamic standing, its international influence, and the multiplicity of vital files that it is holding onto at the economic, political, security and regional levels.Saudi Arabia is not shaken by these ‘empty antics.’ These stupid hate-mongers do not affect its policies, no matter how many ‘lies and fallacies’ they fabricate.The...

Saudi Arabia moves forward with lofty missions disregarding its detractors

Catherine Corm-Kammoun, Consul General of France.
July 14 is a moment of pride and national unity
By Catherine Corm-KammounAs Consul General of France, it is my great honor to celebrate the French National Day, "Bastille Day", here in Jeddah, with our compatriots from the Western province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with our Saudi friends. Celebrated since 1880, July 14 is a moment of pride and national unity, which brings together all citizens to honor their history, remember what gives meaning to the republican pact, and look ahead to the future.Celebrating July 14 in Jeddah is also an opportunity to celebrate the friendship between French and Saudis, which is based on solid and ancient foundations, and has grown stronger over the years. Since the dawn of the relationship between France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the year 1839, about two centuries ago, when...

Prof Dr. Qusay Mansoor Al-Turkey
The etymology of 'Shmagh'
In view of the discussions on social media about the word "shmagh", I feel it is important to familiarize Arab and international audiences with the true meaning of the word and its origin. The word originated from the languages ​​of Mesopotamia and the ancient Near East when the Akkadian language was the diplomatic lingua franca in the 14th century BC.I will quickly clarify the correct pronunciation of the word Shmagh as it is often mispronounced: The word Shmagh in the Sumerian language consists of two syllables, AŠ = ‘Ash’+ MAḪ=‘makh’, which many think means "the head cover".My research into ancient languages has led me to believe that the popular understanding of this word is incorrect. The first phoneme, AŠ =Ash, has several meanings in...

Italian-Saudi relations grow stronger
By Leonardo Costa, Italian Consul General in JeddahIt is a great honor for me to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the Italian Republic in Jeddah. Italy and Saudi Arabia celebrate this year the 91st anniversary of diplomatic relations, as in 1932 Italy was among the first countries in the world to establish official relations with Saudi Arabia.Since the beginning, our bilateral relations have built on a close friendship, empathy and sympathy between our people.Today, also thanks to the new and endless opportunities opened in the Kingdom by the Vision 2030, our relations are growing stronger and stronger in all sectors every day.From my perspective, since my arrival in Jeddah, last year, the Consulate General has expanded its activity with the aim to contribute to this very positive...

Sports and fashion
Sports and fashion have developed a remarkable symbiotic relationship with evident connections between the two industries. These connections are particularly visible in the official attire worn by individual players, as well as by players of clubs and national teams at various levels of competition, including national, regional, and international events.Fashion, as an industry, has traditionally thrived within the confines of exclusive events such as Milan, Rome, Paris, London, and New York fashion festivals. However, the need for a more inclusive platform that transcends the geographical and socio-cultural barriers has grown more urgent in the modern age.On the other hand, sports-inspired fashion has also taken the urban lifestyle by storm. Sports apparel brands such as Nike, Adidas,...
