Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall's four-day tour of Egypt and Jordan has wrapped up.

During the visit, the Duchess of Cornwall sported pieces by two main British designers: Fiona Clare and Anna Valentine.

Clare, who is known for creating predominantly evening and bridal-wear designs, was the designer behind the duchess' duo of floral day dresses worn in Jordan.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more looks from the leading ladies during the British royals' four-day tour.

For the rest of her Middle Eastern wardrobe, Camilla wore pieces by Valentine, who incidentally designed the two looks for her 2005 wedding to Prince Charles. The pale green evening gown she wore to a private dinner with King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, a trio of tunics – white, pink and dark blue – and green day dress worn throughout the four-day tour were all created by the London designer.

When it came to accessorising, she sported a Bottega Veneta bag on her first day in Jordan, and striking Van Cleef & Arpels earrings for the evening reception with the Jordanian royals.

True to form, Queen Rania was every inch the chic royal to greet Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall in Amman. She wore a white V-neck Dior midi coat and gold belt, with a patterned blouse, Dior pumps and a Louis Vuitton handbag to visit the Queen Rania Family and Child Centre with the duchess. She teamed all this with Stephen Webster earrings.

In the evening, she wore a cream and gold abaya, with a pair of Dior pump heels.

On November 18, the British royals arrived in Cairo, Egypt. They were greeted by Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and the first lady, Entissar Amer. For the reception at Al-Ittihadiya Palace in Cairo, Amer wore a deep red skirt and blouse set, with a gold brooch.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

Water waste

In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.

Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.

A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.

The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.

What the law says

Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.

“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.

“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”

If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
