Annual rent for a four-bedroom apartment on Al Zeina Beach, Abu Dhabi
Features This new four-bedroom apartment looks over the pristine beaches of Al Zeina and across to the mangroves separating Saadiyat and Yas islands. This apartment is in A Block, which is the closest to the Al Muneera development and the most secluded. The unit's first level has an open kitchen and a large living room that leads out onto a spacious balcony. One of the bedrooms is on this level. The master bedroom has a dressing area and balcony. The community has swimming pools, gyms, 500 metres of beach and shops such as Waitrose. There is a Nando's opening soon.
Pros The views are among the best in Abu Dhabi.
Cons So close to Yas Island, it might be too far out for some.
They say Great finishings, balconies and an open kitchen.
We say With great views, a spacious layout, the beach at your front door and a Waitrose just a short walk away, you can't really ask for more.

Sun jukebox
Rufus Thomas, Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) (1953)
This rip-off of Leiber/Stoller’s early rock stomper brought a lawsuit against Phillips and necessitated Presley’s premature sale to RCA.
Elvis Presley, Mystery Train (1955)
The B-side of Presley’s final single for Sun bops with a drummer-less groove.
Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two, Folsom Prison Blues (1955)
Originally recorded for Sun, Cash’s signature tune was performed for inmates of the titular prison 13 years later.
Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes (1956)
Within a month of Sun’s February release Elvis had his version out on RCA.
Roy Orbison, Ooby Dooby (1956)
An essential piece of irreverent juvenilia from Orbison.
Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire (1957)
Lee’s trademark anthem is one of the era’s best-remembered – and best-selling – songs.

How Islam's view of posthumous transplant surgery changed
Transplants from the deceased have been carried out in hospitals across the globe for decades, but in some countries in the Middle East, including the UAE, the practise was banned until relatively recently.
Opinion has been divided as to whether organ donations from a deceased person is permissible in Islam.
The body is viewed as sacred, during and after death, thus prohibiting cremation and tattoos.
One school of thought viewed the removal of organs after death as equally impermissible.
That view has largely changed, and among scholars and indeed many in society, to be seen as permissible to save another life.
