Ever heard of a policeman fining himself? Well this Dubai policeman just did.

Although Corporal Abdullah Ibrahim Mohammed could have just walked away form the scene where he accidentally hit a parked car, he instead fined himself and left a note on said vehicle. 

The owner of the damaged car, Egyptian Doctor Mohammad Ahmad Nabeel Abdul Aziz, was very impressed with the gesture, taking to social media to express his gratitude and appreciation for the Dubai police, Gulf News reported. 

After the story went viral, the Dubai police department honored Abdullah Ibrahim, giving him a certificate of thanks and appreciation. Major General Abdullah Al Merri also honored the policeman by promoting him. 

Dr. Abdul Aziz was honored as well by the Major for his social media feat, Gulf News added.  

While there are so many stories about police corruption and the abuse of power, it is refreshing to hear about the integrity of such a police officer and the professionalism of the Dubai police department.

Beiteddine Art Festival's 2017 program was launched by its president, Ms. Nora Joumblat, at a press conference on Wednesday.

Joumblat stressed the importance of supporting cultural events in Lebanon and criticized the constant increase of taxes on festival tickets.

Speaking to Stepfeed, representatives of the festival explained that this year's edition, which starts on July 1, is going to feature performances that are all special in their own right.

The festival will continue to be a beacon of culture, heritage and art across the Arab world, they said, adding that nothing will deter its organizers from their mission to create platforms for creativity in the Middle East.

According to the newly released program, this year's edition will feature international, regional and local artists including Majida Al Roumi, Kadim Al Saher, Jordi Savall, Omar Kamal, Emel Mathlouthi and The Political Circus.

Beiteddine festival was founded in the summer of 1985 in the midst of the Lebanese civil war.

Its launch, at the time, was considered a leap of faith and an attempt to revive Lebanon's cultural and creative scene.

Two years after its start, Nora Joumblat and an executive committee became the official organizers of the festival, and ever since it has become a leading regional and international annual event. 

Every year it features artists from all around the world who come to Lebanon to perform at the magnificent, 200-year old historic Beiteddine palace.

Thousands of people from across the Arab world attend the festival every year.
