Our History
Living in Dubai for 14 years and working in the inbound tourism market for 13 years, Claudia Leite is one of the names behind the company. A true admirer of the city that welcomed her so well, she built a trusty name as the result of her efficiency and made the UAE her second home. She has been working as a sales manager ever since her arrival in the city, focusing on Latin and European markets.
By her side is her partner and friend, Abdulla Alhussam, Emirati and citizen of the world. Abdulla was born in Dubai, but he studied and travelled abroad from a young age and always carried with him the representation of the UAE wherever he went. While he was a speaker for DTCM (Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing in Dubai) he represented the UAE in many countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, United Kingdom, South Africa and Germany, amongst others.
He was sent by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum as one of the youngest Emiratis, to pursue a Master in Public Politics at New York University, living and studying in NYC for two years. The main objective of his career abroad was to share to the world the welcoming and receptive image of Dubai, a city that welcomes with open arms people from many different cultures, religions and ethnicities, while also bringing back to the UAE what other nations and cultures have to offer in return.
