Framing
Both outlets run a service-style lifestyle report on the reopening, led by the 15th season, the 200 million flowers and the new weekly themes. Gulf News adds interview quotes, the weather delay and birthday-ticket details; The National is shorter and compares with last season.
Emphasis
Gulf News: free birthday tickets, weather delay, practical timings. The National: flower count, themes, returning attractions.
Leaves out or plays down
The National omits the weather delay and birthday tickets; Gulf News omits the comparison with last season's 150 million flowers.
Charged language
“famous floral displays”“elaborate floral installations”
For example
“bringing back its famous floral displays alongside free birthday tickets for UAE residents” — Gulf News
“welcoming visitors back with more than 200 million flowers and a new programme of weekly themed events” — The National
