About

I believe tourism built on authenticity, ambition and world-class execution is one of the most powerful drivers of economic diversification and national identity. That belief has shaped my career for more than a decade. As Undersecretary of the @Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Managing Director of @Miral, I aim to help shape the Emirate's culture and tourism agenda. Since 2015, as Group CEO of Miral, I have supported the company’s vision of turning Yas Island and Abu Dhabi into a global destination for entertainment and leisure that welcomes millions of visitors every year.  Along the way, we built partnerships with some of the world's best-known brands, and together, these partnerships have contributed to further positioning Abu Dhabi as one of the world's leading tourism hubs. My focus also goes beyond the business, to the wider impact of our industry, developing Emirati talent, building a sustainable visitor economy, and using culture and heritage to shape how the world sees Abu Dhabi and the UAE.
