Fitness meets fashion with Dubai-based Burn Activewear



On Tuesday, April 19, Burn Activewear launched its debut fitness apparel collection at 1X1 Gallery in Al Serkal Avenue, Dubai. Founded by UAE-based Tanya Ganwani, Burn Activewear is targeted at women who are seeking stylish workout attire.

The line includes a range of T-shirts, tanks, sports bras, leggings and bomber jackets, along with accessories like yoga mats and cap. A personal favourite was the baseball jersey-style T-shirt, with “Dubai” spelt out in bold red letters.

The launch event at 1X1 Gallery was buzzing with shoppers who quickly grabbed up the label’s trendy leggings with mesh panels, and pink tanks reading “When in doubt workout.”

The collection will soon be available online. Until then, shoppers can order through email at info@burncollection.com. As well, starting Sunday, April 24, the items will be available at Fitness 360 at Mazaya Center. Follow the brand on Instagram @BurnActivewear to stay up-to-date with new designs as they're released.

Changing visa rules

For decades the UAE has granted two and three year visas to foreign workers, tied to their current employer. Now that's changing.

Last year, the UAE cabinet also approved providing 10-year visas to foreigners with investments in the UAE of at least Dh10 million, if non-real estate assets account for at least 60 per cent of the total. Investors can bring their spouses and children into the country.

It also approved five-year residency to owners of UAE real estate worth at least 5 million dirhams.

The government also said that leading academics, medical doctors, scientists, engineers and star students would be eligible for similar long-term visas, without the need for financial investments in the country.

The first batch - 20 finalists for the Mohammed bin Rashid Medal for Scientific Distinction.- were awarded in January and more are expected to follow.
