She went on to share, “”Salam, welcome back guys. And I’d like to give you reasons why I packed up, settled and decided to fully settle in Dubai.
These are the reasons,
1) There is a safety that Dubai gives me… unmatched. So, I am a lady and the other day I just left the house, walked out at 2:00 am to go look for food and I was alone in the road, and I felt safe. And that safety is what had me feeling like this is my home.
I am woman who is a mother of two and that is the kind of safety I would like to give my children back home. Hence why I actually chose Dubai.
2) I am a woman who is into technology. I am in innovation and Dubai is a technology hub. I love tech so much.
Dubai is smart hub that is actually advancing every single day. It is a smart city that is always advancing which makes me feel I am definitely in the right place. The ideas that Dubai has is the same ideas that make me feel I am in the right place that aligns and supports my ideas. It makes me feel I’m in the right place that goes along with my ideas and this is why I decided to settle here,”
Wrapping up, the entrepreneur added that the country’s governing rules was another strong selling point that greatly motivated her. Especially since she is deeply passionate about human rights.
