At 26 years old, Marwa AlHashmi has established herself in the industry through her multi-disciplinary portfolio. As an endurance horse rider, part-time model, TV presenter and actress, she’s on her path to achieving her goals.

On the occasion of Emirati Women’s Day 2024, we invited four inspiring women, pioneers in their fields of expertise to share their remarkable journeys.

With Her Highness Sheikha Fatma bint Mubarak playing a key role as her inspiration, atheletes like herself have been championed in the industry.

“For endurance horse riders there’s also a race by her name, the Sheikha Fatma bint Mubarak race, overall, she is the meaning of a powerful Emirati woman,” Alhashmi shares.

Whilst narrating her journey, she elaborated on how young Emirati women need faliure in order to succeed. “The UAE has given young women the platform to flourish and hence they have to use that to their advantage.”

While not being afraid to seize the opportunities, she still has a lot more to accomplish at a young age and has a goal of being internationally recogised as a media personality.

When it comes to success, Alhashmi has finished a 160km race despite her health conditions, she has completed it twice, sharing this as a proud moment.
