Abu Dhabi to benefit from Sex and the City 2

UAE will see rise in popularity say movie producers and analysts

There are two sides to every story! The obvious and most interesting fact is that Sex and the City was banned from being filmed in Abu Dhabi and Dubai despite writers basing the story in the region. The other fact that is starting to make headlines locally is the idea that the sequel will finally put the UAE on the world map in terms of tourism and fashion. So why was it that SATC producers still honoured the country after being turned away only to grant them what will surely be a huge economic push?

Rescuers search Morocco lake for Sheikh Ahmed

Sheikh Ahmed is the boss of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), the world's largest sovereign fund.

Rescuers on Sunday were searching a Moroccan hillside lake for the boss of the world's largest sovereign fund, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), two days after his plane crashed into it.

The aircraft of Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed Al Nahayan, the younger brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who is also president of the UAE, crashed into a reservoir 10 km (6 miles) south of the Moroccan capital Rabat on Friday.

Moroccan Communications Minister Khalid Naciri said: "The search is still going on, that is all that I can tell you."
