Ajman Steps Into the Spotlight: Heritage Meets Horizon at ATM 2026 A Destination Ready for the World Stage

Ajman is gearing up for something big. The Ajman Department of Tourism, Culture and Media will join Arabian Travel Market 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 14 to 17 September, under the theme "Travel 2040: Driving New Frontiers Through Innovation and Technology."

This isn't just a booth on a show floor. It's a chance for Ajman to tell its story to the world, blending culture, heritage and modern tourism ambition into one compelling pitch.

Voices Behind the Vision

HE Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director General of the Department, put it simply: ATM is a platform to strengthen partnerships and present a destination proposition rooted in identity.

He also emphasized collaboration. Government entities, hotels and private tourism players all have a role to play in building a sustainable, competitive tourism ecosystem.

Experiences That Bring Ajman to Life

Visitors to the stand will find "From the Memory of Ajman," an archival photo corner, alongside an interactive zone and the Craftsmen Majlis, spotlighting traditional crafts.

A Wider Tourism Family

Names like Ajman Saray, Fairmont Ajman and Al Zorah Beach Resort join in, showing a united front pushing Ajman's global appeal forward.

Desert-Proof Power: How SVOLT Is Rewriting the Rules of Energy Storage in the Gulf

When the mercury hits 50°C and sandstorms roll in, most tech buckles under pressure. Not SVOLT Energy. At Middle East Energy 2026 in **DUBAI, UAE**, the company unveiled its "desert special forces" lineup, and honestly, the name fits.

SVOLT isn't just tweaking existing tech for the desert; it's engineering for it. The 122Ah residential cell already ships over a million units monthly to five major global customers. Meanwhile, it charges at -20°C and discharges at -30°C, so extreme swings simply aren't a problem.

For utility-scale needs, the 6.29MWh system brings short-blade CTR stacking technology to the table. As a result, footprint shrinks by 36%, and dual-sided liquid cooling cuts temperature variance in half—leading to over 10,000 cycles of reliable life.

Meanwhile, the 285kWh C&I system pairs CTR design with AI-BMS smarts. Consequently, maintenance efficiency jumps 60%, while material costs drop 10%.

From rooftops to renewable energy bases, SVOLT proves that harsh climates don't have to mean compromised performance. The **UAE** market, and beyond, just got a serious energy storage upgrade.

A Beam of Light in the Desert: How a 253-Ton Giant Found Its Home in Saudi Arabia

From Empty Sand to Energy Landmark

Picture an empty stretch of desert. Now picture that same spot humming with turbines, cables and cranes. That's exactly what happened at Rumah, Saudi Arabia, where Harbin Electric International (HEI) is building the Rumah-2 Combined-Cycle Power Plant.

This isn't just another construction project, though. It's a centerpiece of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 energy transition, swapping fuel oil for cleaner natural gas and cutting over 5 million tons of CO2 every year once complete.

The Turbine's Epic Road Trip

So how do you move a 253-ton gas turbine? Very, very carefully. When its original route fell through, the team rerouted nearly 2,000 kilometers across the country. Bridges got reinforced, traffic got diverted, and clearances were measured in centimeters.

Meanwhile, back at the site, crews from China, Saudi Arabia and India pushed through brutal heat to raise the plant from scratch.

Trust Built Alongside Steel

On June 30, 2026, Gas Turbine Unit 1 finally lifted into place. It's a milestone worth celebrating.

The documentary Rumah 2: A Beam of Light in the Desert captures it all unscripted—real engineers, real grit, and a shared vision powering the future.
