What’s your morning routine before work?

As I am working late evenings on my show, I spend mornings free with myself. I do small workouts and jogging sessions before I get ready to leave.

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

I like to think about the following day and prepare my clothes the night before. I am quite well organised that way.

Three items you can’t live without?

My car, my voice recording device and my specs.

Favourite place you like to go to in Abu Dhabi?

I grew up in Abu Dhabi and so I have many memories from the wonderful city. I like the outdoors: parks  and beaches. The Grand mosque has to be one of the most peaceful spots for me.

What did you do last night?

I was enjoying the beautiful weather with my friends and family in an outdoor restaurant in Marina.

Complete the sentence: My perfect holiday would be…

Doing the things I love with my favourite people.

What book are you reading at the moment?

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Tell us a fact about you that nobody knows.

My first job was a journalist when I was 16 years old. I remember volunteering for Majd magazine.

Your favourite designer at the moment?

Myself. I like to customise things based on my tastes and choices.

Your current style inspiration?

I get inspiration from many things, but generally I like to follow my own style. 

Who would you like to be stuck on a desert island with?

My lovely wife and my dog, Totti.

Three things you hate?

Not being organised, negative vibes, war and violence.

What’s your personal motto?

I always believe in focusing completely on what you love and what you want to do. Invest energy into improving yourself and not stressing.

How do you want the world to remember you?

Through my voice.
