Senior Leader in Destination Marketing & Communications with Strategic Brand Development | Elevating Global Experiences | Abu Dhabi & Beyond | UAE National Expert in Tourism & Hospitality (Cohort 4.0)

A year ago, I stepped into the National Experts Program (NEP) not fully knowing how much it would reshape me. Today, as we close this chapter, I carry with me not just knowledge, but a community, memories, and a renewed sense of purpose. For me, the journey was never only about modules or milestones, it was about the people. The mentors who guided with patience, the colleagues who became family, the countless moments of laughter, and shared inspiration. These are the true treasures of this experience. Representing the Tourism & Hospitality sector gave me the chance to see how our work connects to a much bigger picture: building bridges across industries, telling our nation’s story to the world, and shaping experiences that reflect who we are. I am deeply grateful to the UAE leadership for the trust they placed in us and their unwavering guidance, and to everyone in Cohort 4 for making this journey unforgettable. NEP was the spark. The real work starts now, as we carry forward its values into the next chapter of our lives and careers. #NationalExpertsProgram #UAE #Leadership #Tourism #Hospitality وأنا أختم هالمرحلة، أحمل وياي مو بس العلم، لكن رفقة درب، ذكريات، وإحساس أعمق بالمسؤولية. الرحلة ما كانت بس عن المحاضرات ولا عن الشهادات… كانت عن الناس. مرشدين عطونا وقتهم وصبرهم، وعن زملاء صاروا مثل الأهل، وعن لحظات لا تنسى. هذي هي الثروة الحقيقية. تمثيل قطاع السياحة والضيافة عطاني فرصة أشوف شغلي كجزء من صورة أكبر: كيف نبني جسور بين القطاعات، وكيف نوصل قصة بلدنا للعالم، وكيف نصمم تجارب تعكس هويتنا كإماراتيين. شكر من القلب لقيادتنا الرشيدة على الثقة، ودعمهم وتوجيههم، ولكل أفراد الدفعة الرابعة على أجمل رحلة. برنامج خبراء الامارات... البداية الحقيقية توها تبدأ ✨🇦🇪 #برنامج_خبراء_الامارات #القيادة #السياحة #الضيافة
