الحمد لله Dr. Afra Atiq 💙 Passed my defense om my dissertation - "Social Media Effects: Arab readers, writers, and Instagram"

The team at @SydWritersFest has informed me that my book Of Palm Trees and Skies has sold out. What a big moment for me and for the extraordinary team of superstars that made this all possible. @ELFDubai @ummansoor 🤍

@AliBinAbdan @DubaiCulture @SalhaObeaid @Eman_alhammadii It was a great session. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, and thank you for signing an extra book for my dad.

تحدثت أمس عن تاريخ الموسيقا الشعبية في الإمارات، بتنظيم من @DubaiCulture وشاركت الأستاذة الأديبة @SalhaObeaid في الندوة بإثارة أسئلةٍ نوعيةٍ في هذا السياق. وأتقدم بجزيل الشكر والتقدير للأستاذتين إيمان الحمادي @Eman_alhammadii و لارا شعبية من هيئة دبي للثقافة على الدعوة الكريمة.

Of course, the biggest thank you in the world to @ummansoor , who has been my champion, my guidance, my friend, and always always always believed in me 🤍

It's finally happening! My poetry book Of Palm Trees and Skies is being published by ELF Publishing. I feel so blessed alhamdulilah

@HISchoolLibrary @MBRUniversity @ELFDubai @Dauntbooks @debbiet99313391 @nikkigamble We do love a book themed tote bag with pockets

Getting ready to head to @MBRUniversity for the @ELFDubai Reading for Pleasure conference, trying not to get too nervous ahead of my talks today. But I have my trusty @Dauntbooks bag from the wonderful @a_afra to give me some courage! See you soon @debbiet99313391 @nikkigamble

Resuming my quest to find the best gifs to send to @SalhaObeaid

Dr. Fatma Rashid at Khawaneej Clinic is the best doctor I've seen in a long time. Super professional excellent with diagnosis and patient care @DubaiHealthae Dr. Fatma is the standard all healthcare personnel should aspire to be.

Congratulations to the fabulous @vofg_arabia team and the one and only @jenny_malton who tirelessly guides, and coaches all the VoFG Arabia authors (and always makes sure everything is perfect)

Skateboarding injury prevented me from being at the @vofg_arabia book launch today but I am so proud of all the young authors. Congratulations HH @hissa_hamdan on such a wonderful endeavor. You have empowered so many young storytellers 🤍

Education has always been a cental pillar of everything @EmiratesLitFest does. Today, my 8th grade English teacher came to my talk at the festival. It was such a special moment. Thank you @ummansoor for making it possible 🤍

I directed my team at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre to develop the PHI-2 satellite in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, with the aim of supporting entities and countries who aspire to join the space sector. This mission provides opportunities to send innovations and technologies into space aboard the PHI-2 satellite developed by the MBRSC team. It is the second of its kind under the “Access to Space for All” initiative. Our objective is to support any innovation that contributes to scientific and knowledge advancement, ultimately improving the quality of human life.

Thinking about world teacher day, I cannot help but say thank you to @ummansoor 🤍 though she was not formally my teacher, I have learned and continue to learn so much from her. Shukran Um Mansoor 🤍

During a visit to the Dubai Police Officers Club, I looked at @DubaiPoliceHQ's unique projects and initiatives. Guided by a vision to achieve the highest global standards of security, we continue to work towards strengthening Dubai's stature as one of the world’s safest cities. We are committed to harnessing all resources to further enhance the quality of life of our citizens, residents and visitors.

إلى أم الإمارات، أخواتي، أم أبنائي، بناتي. إلى المرأة الإماراتية، بنات زايد، أنتن الإشراقة على وجه الوطن الذي تباركت بكن مسيرته، وبشارة تقدمه، ذخرنا في أوقات العطاء، وحظنا في لحظات التفوق. دوركن أساس، وطموحكن سماء. كل عام وأنتن بعزكن وعز وطننا.

The UAE’s accession to the BRICS group is a reflection of the visions and directives of Their Highnesses Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan & Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in solidifying the UAE’s position as a global hub for trade and economic development, strengthening international partnerships and supporting long-term economic prosperity through innovative strategies. The UAE continues its endeavors to build a sustainable economy and explore new opportunities in accordance with the visions of our leadership, to ensure the prosperity of its people and the world as a whole.

🇦🇪

We launched The Ministry of Finance strategy 2023 - 2026 in line with the UAE’s vision and with its leadership’s aspirations. In accordance with this national strategy, the Ministry will adopt international best practices and solidify its pioneership and excellence. It will work to empower national talents and organizations, and create a government environment that fosters innovation and enhances confidence and transparency in our financial system. Through the efforts of @mofuae team, we seek to achieve a prosperous future for the UAE & its future generations.
