Welcoming Myself to the UAE

Embracing Growth at a Global Crossroads

Standing on new soil, far from the land of my lineage, I find myself in a place that has warmly embraced me. The United Arab Emirates offers a fertile canvas upon which I can grow, learn, and flourish, surrounded by one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic communities.

As I begin this journey, my goal is to contribute meaningfully to my new home—fostering innovation, cultural exchange, and mutual growth, while leaving a lasting, positive imprint on its people and heritage. I am deeply grateful to the visionary leadership, the government, and the citizens of this nation, whose inclusive spirit and forward thinking have created opportunities for newcomers like me to thrive.

My time here, in a land of rich traditions and breathtaking landscapes, will be shaped by the myriad life experiences I carry with me. I bring the cultural tapestry of my North African roots—imbued with Arabic, Islamic, and Jewish influences—woven together with the forward-looking perspective I’ve honed as a tech entrepreneur in Israel and the United States. This dynamic blend of tradition and innovation will guide me as I navigate the UAE’s global crossroads, where ideas, cultures, and aspirations intersect.

May this land continue to prosper, and may everyone who dwells within its borders find the space and inspiration to respect, cherish, and grow together in harmony.
