My journey into tourism did not begin in Saudi Arabia. It began in Seattle. In 2013, I co-founded the Saudi Students Club at Seattle Central College, a platform for cultural exchange that taught me something I have carried ever since: making someone feel genuinely at home somewhere unfamiliar is one of the most powerful things you can do for them.

When I returned to Riyadh in 2018, I brought that perspective with me. Through my work with international event organizers, I saw the same truth repeated in every visitor interaction: the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one comes down to information, having it before you plan, during the journey, and in every moment in between.

That belief was recognized in 2021, when the Saudi Tourism Authority formally appointed me as Tourism Ambassador for the Spirit of Saudi Arabia project at Expo 2020 Dubai, representing Saudi Arabia to international visitors at one of the world's largest global events.

Today I work as a licensed tour guide and tourism specialist, designing and delivering experiences across Riyadh and beyond, and helping tourism brands tell their story to the right audiences.

What I Do

A rare
combination.

I bring a specific combination that is rare in the tourism space: hands-on guiding, destination marketing knowledge, and digital fluency, in both Arabic and English.

01
Tour Guiding & Experience Design
Licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, I design and lead cultural, historical, and entertainment tours across Riyadh and key Saudi destinations. Every experience is built around one goal: making visitors feel informed, safe, and genuinely connected to what they are seeing.
02
Destination Marketing
Certified in destination marketing through UN Tourism and IE University (Madrid), I help tourism organizations communicate what makes a place worth visiting, through content, digital channels, and storytelling that resonates with both local and international audiences.
03
Tourism Consulting & Event Support
With experience at Expo 2020 Dubai and a background in international event tourism, I support tourism brands, media teams, and event organizers who need someone fluent in both the industry and the culture.
04
Digital Marketing for Tourism
SEO, social media, content strategy, and paid advertising, certified through the Saudi Digital Academy, Google, Microsoft, and HubSpot. I apply these skills specifically in tourism contexts, where the goal is always to turn attention into arrivals.
