Institutional transfers into the country are growing, but smaller merchant and retail transactions are surging too \u2014 small retail transfers (under USD 1k) rose 88.1%, while large retail transfers rose 83.6% and professional transfers rose 79.5% \u2014 suggesting that crypto is becoming a practical tool for everyday business as well as big players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">A lot of it boils down to regulatory flexibility and structural diversity <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWhat you find here in the UAE\u2026 is the receptiveness of the regulator<\/strong>,\u201d Carolina Rios (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dr-carolina-rios-the-og-lawyer-%E2%82%BF-491b449a\/?originalSubdomain=ae\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), CEO and founder of Saja Legal Consultants, told Enterprise AM UAE. In her view, the shift isn\u2019t just about headline tax rates \u2014 it\u2019s about access and openness. \u201cThey are very proactive [in terms of] talking to market participants,\u201d she said. Regulators actively engage with the industry, and the effect of this dialogue is visible in Vara and ADGM\u2019s published feedback on final regulations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One crypto expert contrasts this with more transactional postures in other major crypto markets: <\/strong>\u201cSingapore always told you what they offer and what you can get from there \u2014 but UAE regulatory bodies are very welcoming,\u201d Gaurav Dubey, chairman of TradeDog Group and CEO of TDeFi, told Enterprise AM UAE, noting that regulators in the UAE engage actively, maintain a visible presence, communicate clearly, and treat incoming firms in a welcoming manner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The variety also helps:<\/strong> The diversification of regulatory frameworks in the UAE \u2014 with Vara (Dubai mainland), ADGM, and DIFC each operating separate regulatory frameworks \u2014 is another important differentiating factor for the UAE, Rios said. Crypto firms don\u2019t have to commit to a single regulator, and the country\u2019s multiple frameworks can actually be an advantage compared with more centralized models like Singapore\u2019s, Rios said. Crypto firms operate globally from day one, so regulatory rules aren\u2019t just domestic \u2014 they often have implications for operations worldwide, she added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The fact that there are several jurisdictions, each with its own rules, licensing criteria and enforcement style, allows founders to align regulatory strategy with their business model<\/strong> and risk tolerance instead of forcing every operator into the same structure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rapid changes in regulations are another reason founders choose the UAE <\/strong>\u2014 a dynamic seen, for example, in the recent DFSA rulebook revisions that updated crypto token governance frameworks in response to market developments, Dubey said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Do the multiple frameworks offer any disadvantages?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The multiple regulatory approaches in the UAE aren\u2019t a sign of harmful fragmentation<\/strong>, Rios thinks. \u201cRegulatory arbitrage is natural and organic to the industry,\u201d and it can be leveraged by regulators and companies, Rios said. In a global industry, firms tend to gravitate toward jurisdictions that understand their segment and can adapt quickly, she added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>While the framework works, it isn\u2019t without its challenges<\/strong>, Dubey said, adding that a more streamlined, unified UAE tax and compliance regime is needed, calling for \u201ca single point of entry and a single point of exit\u201d \u2014 language that resonates with founders familiar with singular regulator models. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rios, meanwhile, cautions against over-centralization.<\/strong> \u201cWhen you require full compliance [licensing]... for very new models, you are actually restricting the execution and the possibilities of growth,\u201d she said, emphasizing the role of pilots, sandboxes, and open consultation in policy design.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There is coordination taking<\/strong><strong> place across the different regulators:<\/strong> For example, the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) and Vara recently agreed to recognize virtual asset licenses across each of their jurisdictions, meaning Vara-licensed firms can more easily offer their services in emirates other than Dubai. Coordination protocols and regulatory checks will still be required, but the shared registration framework, real-time data sharing, cross-jurisdictional AML\/CFT coordination, and joint supervisory protocols help streamline the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The move came in a bid to eliminate the need for \u201cseparate, potentially conflicting\u201d approval processes<\/strong> and to lower operational risk for crypto firms looking to operate nationally. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The cherry on top: A livable ecosystem rather than a mere logistical option <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Infrastructure support and liveability matters too. <\/strong>Visa approvals and resident permits are fast and reliable here, allowing founders to bring in large teams without bureaucratic bottlenecks, Dubey said. Dubai\u2019s infrastructure makes it easy for employees and executives to live close to their workplaces, giving businesses a real, tangible advantage over purely offshore domiciles where teams rarely visit or have limited local access, he notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Companies can choose between mainland and financial freezones for incorporation<\/strong>, which can make it easier for founders and teams to live and work near their operations. Unlike some offshore jurisdictions that function mainly as legal addresses, mainland and freezone setups in the UAE can coexist, letting businesses maintain a presence on the ground while navigating local requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story <\/strong>with all of the links to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/crypto\/\">CRYPTO<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/the-big-story-today\/\">THE BIG STORY TODAY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"113251 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"113251\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/20\/113251\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-113251\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-113251 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashreq.com\/en\/uae\/private\/become-a-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/741.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"113252\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"113252\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">DEBT WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/20\/mashreq-kicks-off-subordinated-market-with-record-tight-at1\/\">\r\n                            Mashreq kicks off subordinated market with record-tight AT1                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/02\/20\/mashreq-kicks-off-subordinated-market-with-record-tight-at1\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Additional tier one (AT1) certificates are a type of subordinated debt, meaning they rank below other types of bank debt in the event of liquidation. This makes them riskier than senior debt, but still gives them priority over equity holders. AT1 certificates are \u201cperpetual,\u201d having no fixed maturity date. They pay interest similarly to bonds, but can often be converted into equity under certain conditions, which is why they are often referred to as CoCos \u2014 short for contingent convertibles \u2014

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"> <strong>Cloud downtime isn\u2019t just a technical headache. <\/strong>Basil Mimi (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/basilmimi\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), CEO of Mantas, frames cloud outages as business interruption events that can trigger real financial losses across revenue, operations, and reputational risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Mimi sought to manage these risks by quantifying and insuring against them using parametric models and real-time monitoring.<\/strong> Enter Mantas, an ins. technology company building the data and monitoring infrastructure that enables insurers to offer coverage tied to downtime at public cloud providers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We spoke to Mimi for this week\u2019s My Morning Routine <\/strong>to unpack the growing cloud risk landscape, how parametric cover works in practice, and how he structures his days as a founder building in insurtech. Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Assume this is our first sit-down and I know nothing about your company. How would you introduce Mantas?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Basil Mimi: <\/strong>Mantas is an ins. technology startup that develops and deploys parametric ins. programs that protect businesses against financial losses arising from cloud and data-center outages. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">We\u2019ve built two solutions \u2014 Skyscope and Skyfeed. Skyscope works as a calculation agent and monitors the infrastructure of the insured. Skyfeed is a global intelligence layer providing region-level and provider-level outage visibility across cloud regions and data centers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>You\u2019ve said cloud downtime isn\u2019t just a technical glitch, but a financial event. When did that distinction really click for you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong> I worked mostly in software development and fintech solutions. We always had issues when it came to third-party services. A couple of years back, I was trying to order food through a major delivery app when it suffered a big outage. It was all over the media, and they lost a lot of money. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">I figured, if this happens to us, we would also lose a lot of money, and I could never justify that to a CEO. I tried to find a technology solution for that case \u2014 but you can\u2019t control Amazon, Google, or Microsoft, because the third party is a data center outside your control. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">So I tried to find ways to fix it in ins. I learned about parametric ins., where you use technology to monitor risks. It\u2019s typically used in farming to monitor floods or crops. I dug deeper and became more familiar with the model, what it is and how it works, and built technology around it to model cloud risk.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM:<\/strong> Parametric ins. still feels niche to many readers. How would you differentiate it from traditional cyber or business interruption cover?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>B<\/strong><strong>M<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>Traditional cyber or business interruption policies are indemnity-based. They require the insured to prove actual financial loss, demonstrate causation, and submit supporting documentation. Coverage is often subject to exclusions, sub-limits, waiting periods, and detailed adjustment processes. Payout is tied to quantified loss following investigation and claims assessment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Parametric cover operates differently. It pays based on a predefined, objective trigger rather than assessed loss. In Mantas\u2019 structure, that trigger is measurable infrastructure downtime at the cloud region or data-center level, as defined in the policy schedule. If the agreed availability threshold is breached, the payout amount is contractually predetermined. There is no requirement to evidence financial damage, no forensic loss adjustment, and no debate over causation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">It is also important to distinguish the underlying trigger mechanics. Traditional cyber policies are typically activated by a defined malicious cyber event, such as unauthorized access, ransomware, or a data breach affecting the insured\u2019s systems. Mantas\u2019 parametric policy, however, is triggered by objective downtime of cloud services at the public cloud provider level, irrespective of whether a malicious act occurred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">In short, cyber ins. responds to security incidents. Mantas\u2019 parametric cover responds to infrastructure unavailability. The two address different risk layers within the digital operating stack and can operate in parallel rather than in competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Why does this make more sense for cloud risk?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>Look at outages that happened last year, like the Amazon outage in November that lasted around 15 hours. When you try to quantify how much loss can happen to a business when the cloud is down, it goes beyond just systems being down, from revenue loss to, if it\u2019s a popular, consumer-facing company, legal liabilities, reputational damage, customer churn, and loss of trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Calculate it for something like a food delivery app; even two hours of downtime means lost revenue, refunds, wallet credits, marketing campaigns \u2014 all of that is cost. For logistics companies, warehouses, or e-commerce providers, operating costs for delivery and systems stop because everything is halted. That\u2019s a huge loss. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Why do you think the industry underestimated these costs for so long?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong> In our region, public cloud data centers are relatively new. Amazon Web Services launched its first Middle East region in Bahrain in 2019, followed by the UAE region in 2022, and has announced expansion into Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Before, dependency on the cloud wasn\u2019t as high as it is today. People were still using on-prem solutions and local servers. To have faster access to data, we moved into the cloud, and that\u2019s how it evolved. In the UAE, around 67% of businesses already host their core business processes on the cloud, according to SAP, which tells you how dependent companies have become.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Your model relies on real-time monitoring and automatic payouts triggered by verified data. How hard is it to convince companies to trust code over a traditional claims adjuster?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong> In practice, it is less difficult than many assume. Corporate clients already manage critical systems through automated controls, monitoring tools, and data-driven decision frameworks. Reliance on verified data is standard practice in modern enterprises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">The difference becomes clear at the claims stage. Traditional indemnity ins. requires proof of financial loss, documentation, and adjustment. That process can extend over months and often introduces uncertainty around interpretation and causation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">With parametric ins., the structure is agreed in advance. The trigger conditions, measurement methodology, and payout amounts are defined at policy inception. When the contractual threshold is breached, the payout mechanism is activated without the need for post-event loss quantification. Ultimately, it is about removing ambiguity by predefining the rules and relying on objective data. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Which sectors are most exposed to downtime risk?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>The most at risk are companies that rely 100% on online revenue \u2014 ecommerce platforms, food delivery companies, airlines, airports. Financial markets and exchanges are also critical. If a trading platform suffers an outage, it goes beyond lost transaction volume; it can mean losing trust in the business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">On mornings, focus, and switching off<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>How do your mornings typically start?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>I start with light exposure as early as possible. I prefer to step outside and get a few minutes of direct sunlight. It helps regulate focus and energy for the rest of the day. After that, I check on my plants. It is a ritual I have maintained for nearly a decade. It creates a deliberate pause before the pace of the day accelerates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">I avoid jumping straight into calls or emails. I begin the day slowly and intentionally, then transition into work once I am mentally clear and structured. After that, I check my calendar, financial news, and anything happening in the market. I check in with my team for messages that came in overnight. Sometimes I have an early client or partner call before heading to the office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM:<\/strong> What takes up most of your day as CEO?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>We structure the company into task forces. I\u2019m responsible for business development, sales, regulatory work, and fundraising. I work through priorities from highest to lowest, deciding what needs to be done immediately and what can be pushed to later in the day or the next day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">As a seed-stage startup, we\u2019re extremely busy. Days start early and sometimes end late. We\u2019re in the process of bringing in more team members to build with us. Our development team works in sprints, and technology is led by my co-founder and the engineering team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>How do you prevent real-time risk monitoring from following you home?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>We designed the system so it does not require constant human supervision. Monitoring, trigger verification, and notifications operate automatically within predefined contractual and governance parameters. Our ins. partners and brokers have access to portfolio-level analytics through structured dashboards. If a predefined outage threshold is met, alerts are automatically routed to the relevant stakeholders without manual intervention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Through Skyfeed, I am able to view aggregated signals across regions and cloud providers. It provides a macro perspective on infrastructure stability rather than operational noise. The intent is clear separation: the infrastructure monitors continuously, but leadership engagement remains strategic rather than reactive. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Still, I make a conscious effort not to open my laptop at night. I limit phone usage and keep my inbox disciplined, responding when necessary and leaving what can wait for the next day. On weekends, I disconnect intentionally. I play tennis, train, go diving in Fujairah, or head into the UAE desert for dune bashing. Sundays are quieter. I usually spend them reading or with friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM:<\/strong> Does Ramadan change your routine?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong>My morning routine stays the same, but by 3 or 4pm I feel exhausted. For those couple of hours, I can\u2019t really function while fasting. After iftar, I break with friends and then work another two or three hours at night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The thing is, it can actually be more productive<\/strong> because you can get a lot more done during the day since social activities are limited and planned in advance. For us, last year and this year, we\u2019ve been very productive during Ramadan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM: <\/strong>Do you have a go-to spot for iftar or suhoor?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BM:<\/strong> I don\u2019t have a specific go-to restaurant. I cook a lot and enjoy cooking at home. My favorite dish to cook is mujadara \u2014 lentils, rice, and onions \u2014 with arabic salad on the side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Basil\u2019s recommendation<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Favorite film: <\/strong>Cinema Paradiso \u2014 an Italian classic. It captures the courage it takes to leave comfort behind and pursue your dreams. It is a meditation on dreams, sacrifice, and the cost of growth. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(** Tap or click the headline above
