Life, Styled: Dubai-Based Influencer Rabeb Jallali Takes GRAZIA Through 7 Chic Summer Pairings
Media: @rabellejlali Instagram Life, Styled , GRAZIA's series where fashion and everyday style collide, returns yet with another creator known for her unapologetic sense of style. For the third edition of this new series, we tapped into the stylish mind of Dubai-based fashion influencer, Rabeb Jallali, who took GRAZIA inside her summer wardrobe rotation to show seven looks for seven days. Whether you're looking for the season's polka-dot trend, a classic streetwear look, or a timeless ensemble, Rabeb brings you all the outfit inspiration you need to elevate your everyday. Photo: @rabellejlali Instagram Bold reds and timeless blacks in streetwear codes, Rabeb optimised her summer style with just a few pairs of uber-casual selections. Wearing a short-sleeved sweater in red merino wool from Canadian brand Sporty & Rich, she effortlessly added edge with an equally vibrant Maison Alaia mesh ballet flats, rectangular shades, and an exquisite choice of a handbag, The Row India bag in black. Photo: @rabellejlali Instagram With a clean and elegant look, the Dubai-based influencer finished this outfit with a beige tank top and straight, white, wide-legged trousers. Styling it chicly, she layered on a Sandro x Louise Bourgeois geometric print scarf with blue stripes in a wraparound style. For accessories, she didn't miss adding on a beige Hermes Swift Verso Plume 28 bag, a dainty silver watch and blue boots. Photo: @rabellejlali Instagram Never missing a chance to flaunt her style, Rabeb this time decided to wear an asymmetrical one-shoulder top with sequins by Missoni, staple blue-washed denim trousers, and arguably the most stylish accessory, a Loewe bracelet pouch in pleated nappa lambskin. Photo: @rabellejlali Instagram Amongst her versatile looks, Rabeb wore a navy blue Miu Miu cotton piqué polo shirt and a short white mini skirt. Understanding her summer colours down to the T, she coolly accessorised with a muted green Hermes Oran sandal and a Loro Piana Extra Pocket bag.

With a sheer noir dress featuring a sweeping neckline, the Dubai influencer balanced the 'fit with a contrasting, deeply saturated red Polo Ralph Lauren Polo Play leather tote and a pair of sunnies. Photo: @rabellejlali Instagram When it comes to summer dressing, there's no denying Pucci's signature prints and colourful patterns are an ideal choice for the summer season. And Rabeb's particular outfit of choice? None other than an asymmetrical midi skirt with a matching halter top in a vibrant blue and green pattern. For accessories, she opted for a staple Bottega Veneta Jodie bag and a pair of black kitten heels. topics: Life Styled, FASHION, Dubai, UAE, 2025 Fashion, STYLE, DUBAI BASED INFLUENCERS, DUBAI INFLUENCERS, INFLUENCER, Influencer Approved, Rabeb Jallali, featured

Beyond The Bucket List: How Hero Experiences Is Redefining Regional Travel
In a region known for record-breaking attractions and glossy, sky-high ambitions, one homegrown travel group is quietly rewriting the adventure playbook. Hero Experiences Group, based in Dubai, is not in the business of ticking boxes. Instead, it's carving out something much more personal: meaningful, high-end experiences that are immersive, culturally rooted, and memorable. Forget the usual tour bus experiences. This collection of adventure brands – spanning desert safaris, hot air ballooning, aerial observatories, and nature-based outdoor escapes – caters to the kind of traveller who's less interested in seeing and more intent on actually experiencing. A Different Kind of Desert Safari The group's flagship brand, Platinum Heritage, has redefined what a desert safari can be. Rather than speed through dunes in roaring 4x4s, guests are invited to slow down and step back in time – travelling in vintage Land Rovers from the 1950s, visiting a Bedouin-style camp built from natural materials, and dining under the stars on traditional Emirati cuisine. It's immersive, eco-conscious, and layered with cultural context. For those after something more polished, the Platinum Collection offers private Range Rover tours, fine dining in the dunes, and exclusive access to royal desert grounds. New heights Then there's Hero Balloon Flights, a premium hot air balloon operator offering sunrise flights over the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve – and, in Saudi Arabia, over the ancient sandstone formations of AlUla. These aren't your standard balloon rides. Guests take off from elevated sites in refurbished cabins, drift low enough to spot oryx and gazelles, and experience falcon shows mid-air before retreating to a secluded desert breakfast curated by Michelin-starred chefs. It's a rare mix of elegance, wildlife, and tradition, all in one quiet, golden morning. A unique view of Dubai Photo: Supplied More urban in spirit is The Dubai Balloon, a tethered helium balloon located on the edge of Palm Jumeirah (GRAZIA even hosted its very own immersive event there). It lifts passengers 300 metres into the air, offering panoramic views of the palm-shaped island and Dubai's greatest architectural hits. While it caters to tourists, it's just as appealing for locals looking for a fresh vantage point (or a unique place to propose). There's even an on-site café and retail shop to round out the visit. For the Adventurers For schools, corporate teams, or anyone craving something less polished and more rugged, Absolute Adventure delivers nature-based challenges designed to build confidence, foster connection, and ignite curiosity. From kayaking to canyoning and hiking, these outings are intentionally raw and stripped back, but executed with high safety standards and seamless organisation. The Saudi Expansion In Saudi Arabia, Hero Experiences is bringing its signature storytelling approach to one of the world's most exciting emerging destinations: AlUla. Platinum Heritage Saudi offers eco-luxury desert journeys through the Sharaan Nature Reserve, one of the kingdom's most pristine landscapes. Guests can explore ancient rock inscriptions, admire sandstone formations, and witness the biodiversity of the Arabian desert—all while steeped in cultural authenticity and a firm commitment to sustainability. Meanwhile, Hero Balloon Flights Saudi lets travellers take it all in from above. Floating over AlUla's otherworldly terrain, passengers witness 200,000 years of history from the quiet serenity of a sunrise balloon ride. It's a humbling, cinematic perspective on a landscape that has captivated explorers for centuries. For more information, visit topics: Dubai, UAE, TRAVEL, SAUDI, Hero Experiences
