A dose of pure inspiration!

The Lovin Dubai Show featured Amenah Almuhairi, the UAE’s national snowboarding champion and the first Emirati woman to compete at the Asian Winter Games. At just 16, she’s ALREADY making history. On the show, Amna shared her incredible journey—from discovering snowboarding on a family trip to Bosnia to representing the UAE on the world stage.

Despite coming from a country where snow is a rare sight, Amna’s determination knows no limits. She trains at Ski Dubai when she’s home, but much of her time is spent abroad, perfecting her craft alongside her coach in Austria. She opened up about the challenges of competing against athletes who grew up surrounded by natural snow and how she turns that into an advantage. “We get to train year-round while others wait for the snow,” she said.
