I am a proud Syrian national with a passion for hospitality and a diverse professional background. I graduated from hospitality college in 1996 and soon after moved to the UAE to kickstart my career.
My journey began at Le Méridien Hotel in Abu Dhabi, where I spent four years honing my skills in the hospitality industry. I then transitioned to the entertainment sector as a cinema manager for another four years, which helped me develop a unique perspective on guest experiences.
Following that, I spent four years as a sales and marketing manager in the media sector, followed by a role as the sales and marketing director for EarthCam.com’s Dubai agency for two years. Most recently, I’ve dedicated over 14 years to public relations management at the Khalifa International Award for Date Palm and Agricultural Innovation, where I’ve worked to promote sustainable practices and innovation in agriculture.
On a personal note, I’m happily married to my wife, who is Egyptian. Together, we have three wonderful children: a set of twin boy and girl, both 17, and a younger son who is 16. Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish the time we spend together.
As a host, I strive to create memorable experiences, drawing from my extensive background in hospitality and my love for bringing people together.
