Amir, a 52-year-old hotel owner in Abu Dhabi, is a symbol of success and wealth in the hospitality industry. Having lived there for 20 years, Amir has witnessed the meteoric rise of Abu Dhabi as well and Dubai, transforming from vast stretches of desert into dazzling megacities. His own journey has been intertwined with this growth. Backed by the Sheikhs, Amir received early funding to establish one of the country’s first luxury resort hotels. This venture became a cornerstone of his success, cementing his reputation as a visionary in the industry.

Today, Amir enjoys the fruits of his labor. With a competent team now managing his hotels, he has the freedom to explore the vibrant life of the city, savoring its fine dining, art, and culture. An aficionado of cigars, Amir often unwinds at upscale lounges, enjoying conversations with friends or reflecting on the incredible journey that brought him here.

Despite this luxurious lifestyle, Amir finds himself at a crossroads. The idea of selling his hospitality empire and retiring tempts him, yet a lingering fear of boredom holds him back. His life was once a whirlwind of activity, and while he appreciates the slower pace, Amir feels an urge for a new challenge—something to channel his energy and ambition.
