A Dubaian at heart

-

Al Mur, a Dubaian at heart, grew up in a large family of eight siblings at Rashidiya in the city.

Her communicat­ion skills blossomed in her undergradu­ate years at the Zayed University. In 2005, she started a podcast on diverse topics under the guidance of James Piecowye, Associate Professor in the College of Communicat­ion and Media Sciences, Zayed University, which ran for a couple of years.

Al Mur has two boys, whose birthdays coincide with two eventful days in the UAE'S calendar and history.

The eldest, Mohammed, was born on October 14, 2018 — on the day GITEX Global started that year — and the youngest is Thani, who was born on February 22, the day the Museum of the Future was inaugurate­d this year. Her husband is Shames Al Hashemi, an entreprene­ur and retailer.

Al Mur is fond of yoga and loves to travel. “Collecting sneakers is one of my passions,” she added.
