\n

MARI<\/a>, the global events company founded by Ariel Emanuel, has acquired the Arts & Entertainment and Action Sports divisions of Endeavor-owned IMG, adding major international festivals and sporting events to its portfolio.<\/p>\n

The deal brings events such as London\u2019s Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, the global Taste Festivals series which includes Taste of Dubai and Taste of Abu Dhabi<\/a>, the US Open of Surfing in California and the Nike Melbourne Marathon under MARI\u2019s umbrella, expanding the company\u2019s footprint across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.<\/p>\n

The acquisition follows recent additions to MARI\u2019s portfolio, including the contemporary art fair Frieze, the Barrett-Jackson car auctions, the theatre ticketing platform TodayTix Group and major tennis tournaments such as the Miami Open and Madrid Open.<\/p>\n

Frieze Abu Dhabi<\/a>, owned by MARI, will be replacing Abu Dhabi Art starting next year. <\/p>\n

Emanuel, who also serves as chief executive of Endeavor, launched MARI earlier this year as a separate holding company for his growing network of live events, alongside investors including Silver Lake, SoftBank and Mubadala Investment Company, according to Deadline<\/i>. IMI Media Group, owners of The National,<\/i> has a stake in MARI. The IMG purchase further broadens MARI\u2019s reach in global entertainment and sport.<\/p>\n

        Which honey takes your fancy?<\/h5>\n
        \n

        Al Ghaf Honey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        The Al Ghaf tree is a local desert tree which bears the harsh summers with drought and high temperatures. From the rich flowers, bees that pollinate this tree can produce delicious red colour honey in June and July each year<\/p>\n

        Sidr Honey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        The Sidr tree is an evergreen tree with long and strong forked branches. The blossom from this tree is called Yabyab, which provides rich food for bees to produce honey in October and November. This honey is the most expensive, but tastiest<\/p>\n

        Samar Honey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        The Samar tree trunk, leaves and blossom contains Barm which is the secret of healing. You can enjoy the best types of honey from this tree every year in May and June. It is an historical witness to the life of the Emirati nation which represents the harsh desert and mountain environments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
