We like choosing them, and you like looking at them.

Each week The National selects a home that's on the market for its Property of the Week feature – and, whether it's located in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, they come in all different shapes and sizes.

From private islands to swimming pools in the lounge and cinemas in the basement, these haven't been your typical two-up, two down-style homes, or regular new build apartments of which there are plenty across the UAE.

Now it's your chance to have your say on which you liked best. So take a look at the options we've selected below and vote in the poll at the bottom.

This seven-bedroom mansion is part of The Heart of Europe development at The World Islands off the coast of Dubai. It is one of nine villas on the Sweden Island, of which eight have been sold. The villa comes with eight bathrooms, has a built up area of 25,000 square feet and sits on a plot of 34,500 square feet.

The neighbours are made up of regional royalty, and a new buyer must be vetted by the authorities first, and then be approved by all the neighbours.

This six-bedroom, eight-bathroom penthouse property in Elite Residence in Dubai Marina was on the market for between Dh33m and Dh35m.

Properties that come with their own swimming pool are no rarity in the UAE – however, apartments with a swimming pool inside the living room are not common.

It also comes with plenty of other benefits such as 360° views.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
