In this season finale of Culture Bites, Enas Refaei and Farah Andrews reflect on the culture-defining moments that had the biggest impact on them in 2025.
The hosts share their favourite movies, TV series and books from the past year, with a look back at both fiction and non-fiction titles. They also highlight their most memorable art institution visits. Enas describes what it was like stepping into the Grand Egyptian Museum ahead of its history-making opening this year. Farah talks about her journey at Nomad Abu Dhabi, which transformed the decommissioned Terminal 1 of Zayed International Airport into a sprawling art and design venue.
No review is complete without a nod to the year’s most captivating pop culture moments. Enas offers lessons learnt from a major scandal in the music industry, while Farah conducts a postmortem of a space mission that created more questions than answers.
