This issue officially marks Khaleejesque's fourth and final issue of the year 2012. And what a year it's been!

This issue, our biggest one yet, is a nod to the main driving factor behind everything we do: the people.

The People Issue is about interesting personalities, either established in their fields, or emerging in them. It's about the faces behind the places, the characters behind the brands, the individuals behind initiatives…

Get to know game-changing individuals like Noura Al Kaabi, Abu Dhabi's Woman of the Hour, TV personality Abdullah Boftain, and renowned Kuwaiti chef Ahmed Al Bader. Get inspired by Jalal Bin Thaneya, who treks through harsh territories to highlight charity causes, and fashion designer Noha Al Roumi, who had to overcome an immense obstacle to get to wear she is.

Find interviews with the likes of Senyar MB, a Kuwaiti marketing and branding agency responsible for some of the most popular ads on TV, and Hamad Sinno, lead singer of indie band Mashrou' Leila.
