UAE Civil Law Overhaul: The UAE’s new Civil Transactions Law (Federal Law No. 25 of 2025) kicks in on June 1, replacing the 1985 Civil Code and reshaping contracts, property dealings and disputes—plus lowering the civil age of adulthood from 21 to 18, so younger people can sign contracts and start businesses. Fuel Prices Watch: Petrol in the UAE rises for June 2026, with Super 98 up to Dh3.95 per litre (about 8% higher than May), while diesel is set to drop—meaning a fuller tank costs more across compact cars, sedans and SUVs. Ebola Preparedness: UAE health and emergency authorities are monitoring Ebola developments and issuing travel guidance, urging nationals and residents to avoid Uganda, DR Congo and South Sudan unless absolutely necessary. UAE Floating Hospital: The UAE Floating Hospital marks World No Tobacco Day and continues medical and humanitarian support via its Gaza field work, including new cases received through Rafah. Diplomatic Update: UAE’s ambassador presents credentials to Qatar’s foreign ministry officials, reaffirming fraternal ties and cooperation. Regional Trade: India and Oman’s CEPA starts June 1, granting India duty-free access to Oman—another sign of Gulf-linked trade momentum.
