By Zinya Salfiti| GQ Middle East Verified They are eyes I’ve seen countless times. Rounded brown eyes I searched for on my Instagram feed every morning for the first 45 days after Israel began its bombardment on Gaza. I’d wake up and scroll, desperately wishing to see them, checking the timestamp of the latest video to clock if it was posted recently enough – to make sure those eyes were still alive. But when the Zoom call connects from Dubai, it’s not those eyes that consume my thoughts. It’s her voice.
By Zinya Salfiti, Jeeba Marri| GQ Middle East Verified “It feels like I’m on vacation whenever I come here,” says singer-songwriter Mishaal Tamer of London, taking off his Camel Line sunglasses to soak in the fleeting February sun. Leaning against the street entrance to Forbidden Planet, Tottenham Court Road’s always-crammed comic book store, he’s in an all-black fit: an oversized hoodie, thrifted Carhartt jacket, and women’s cargo pants — ready for the unpredictable British weather.
