- On Oct 11, she got an email and was asked to speak at the event World Youth Forum
*About World Youth Forum – World Youth Forum is a platform built for promising youth. It sends a message of peace, prosperity, harmony, and progress to the entire world. It engages youth from around the globe in an enriching environment, allowing them to exchange views and recommend initiatives to decision-makers and influential figures. The forum is a chance for them to engage with top policymakers, network with promising youth from the region and the world that are determined to make our world a better place for everyone.
- They really cater to the youth.

- The resort is on the Red Sea.
