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.
