What would the two gentlemen at this fish-counter in the 1970's make of the glittering new fish hall that will open in Abu Dhabi after Eid Al Adha?
This photograph from our sister paper Al Ittihad captures a customer examining what seems to be salted fish down at the old market in Mina Zayed. If there was any doubt about the date of the photograph, the massive collar and giant flares worn by the customer give the game away. That and the fact that the vendor is about to light up a cigarette while standing over his stock.
It will be very different in the new market, which will handle the catch from up to 500 boats at 75 stalls. The market will be in the basement of Mushrif Mall and run by Lulu Hypermarkets. Customers will be able to have their fish cooked on demand and eat it in a seating area.
Hopefully the new market will also be a no-flares as well as a no-smoking zone.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
- Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
- Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help.
- Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
- Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
- Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.
