Salwa Al-Nuaimi: The First Barrel of Fortune
Date/Time: Sunday 13 February 2022 17:30-18:30
Venue: Al Joud Ballroom 1, Hilton, Al Habtoor City
Language: English
Session No: 169
In the span of one generation, the nation witnessed the rapid modernisation, following the discovery of oil, from a scattered tribal land with a primitive economic structure to the regional and global economic powerhouse it became by the late twentieth century.
Through interviews from those who steered and experienced the changes, Barrel of Fortune explores the development of not only the economy but the changes on Emirati society’s three pillars – the tribe, Islam and the family.
