How Syrian refugees are spending Ramadan in Algeria; the history of Emirati sha'bi housing; a look at the arthouse film scene here in the UAE; and new sounds from Africa. These are just some of the stories The National's Review section has published over the past few weeks. The Review appears in print in The National on Saturdays, while stories are posted online throughout the week. We also have a podcast, Crossroads, and the Review hosts The National's Book Club.

We now have a weekly newsletter that you can easily sign up for on our homepage: click "sign in" at the top right, register with the site or sign in if you are an existing user. Then tick the Review newsletter box. Emails are sent out every Saturday morning and will contain the very best of our output.
