    Was Assala’s Husband Faeq Hassan Detained in Dubai?

    Digital Phablet – Recently, news surfaced about the arrest of Iraqi poet and business executive Faeq Hassan, husband of Syrian singer Assala Nasri, at Dubai Airport. This story quickly ignited widespread debate across social media platforms, especially after his name was linked to an enigmatic fraud case involving a popular Arab TV host.

    The rumors began circulating through various online news outlets and websites claiming that Dubai authorities had detained a prominent businessman married to a well-known artist. The arrest reportedly followed a formal complaint from an Arab television presenter, who accused Hassan of embezzling $50,000. She claimed he persuaded her to invest the money in gold trading, promising significant returns.

    These reports prompted social media speculation that the individual involved was the husband of Assala Nasri. Rumors intensified, suggesting he had been detained at Dubai Airport, and that Assala might have paid a sum to resolve the situation and secure his release.

    In response to the circulating news, Faeq Hassan publicly denied all allegations, emphasizing that his name was falsely associated with the case. An insider close to Assala Nasri’s family clarified that Hassan is currently residing in the United Arab Emirates and living his daily life without any legal issues.

    A video on Facebook also confirmed his current status, showing that there are no legal obstacles preventing him from being in the country and underscoring his normal life in the UAE.

    Dubai Airport Hits New Record for Travelers in First Half

    Dubai International Airport reported a record-breaking 46 million passengers in the first half of this year, despite facing disruptions caused by the Iran-Israel conflict, according to officials on Tuesday. This marks the busiest first half on record for the airport, with a 2.3% increase compared to last year, even with regional airspace closures in May and June.

    During the 12-day flare-up in the Iran-Israel war, many airlines canceled flights to various Middle Eastern destinations as some governments shut down their airspace. On average, monthly passenger numbers in the first half of 2025 reached about 7.7 million, or roughly 254,000 travelers daily.

    “With our performance so far and a positive outlook, we anticipate total annual traffic to hit around 96 million this year, bringing us closer to the significant milestone of 100 million,” stated Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths.

    In 2024, Dubai International set a new record with 92.3 million passengers passing through. January was particularly busy, setting a single-month record with 8.5 million travelers, the statement noted. As the year progresses into its second half, activity is expected to pick up further.

    The leading countries for passenger traffic at Dubai are India, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. Located at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa, Dubai has maintained its status as the world’s busiest international passenger hub for ten years.

    Looking ahead, Dubai plans a $35 billion expansion to move operations to Al Maktoum International Airport on the outskirts of the city by 2032. This new facility will be built in phases and aims to reach a capacity of approximately 240 million passengers, potentially making it the largest airport globally by a wide margin.
