WWE Raw Women’s champion Becky Lynch was in town for the Dubai Fitness Challenge at the weekend. However, just before flying off, her fiance and fellow wrestler Seth Rollins came from Riyadh after competing at Crown Jewel to also spend some time in the emirate, as well.

It appears they were only able to enjoy a single day in Dubai but the WWE power couple made the most of it. They visited the Dubai Coffee Museum, where they learnt more about Arabic coffee including its history, how to pour it, and proper etiquette:

Lynch also took time to visit At. Mosphere, at the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building:

Earlier in the weekend, Lynch met with children and families at the Al Jalila Children’s Hospital, the first and only children’s hospital in the UAE, where she also interacted with younger patients and helped get kids up and moving with a fun workout as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.

The 32-year-old also made a visit to Dubai international Academy in Al Barsha where she spoke to students as well as led them in an exercise session. Finally, she also made an appearance at the Etisalat Main Stage in Kate Beach Fitness Village where she also led another fitness session.

Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites

The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.

It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.

“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.

The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
