What people say
In their words
They told my story with more care than I could have myself. The response from my community was overwhelming.

I was nominated by my students. I never expected recognition, and it reminded me why I teach.

Merit-based, respectful and professional. They checked every detail with me before publishing.

What is Pride of UAE?
A platform that discovers and celebrates the people and brands shaping the UAE through professionally written profiles and social media features.
Who can be featured?
Anyone living or working in the UAE, Emirati or resident, of any age or profession: students, founders, professionals, creators, artisans, volunteers and everyday heroes.
Is it free?
Nominations are always free, and our editors select merit features at no cost. Optional paid packages guarantee a feature with a faster turnaround, but they never buy a merit badge.
Can I nominate someone else?
Yes. We always contact the nominee for consent before publishing anything.
How long does it take?
Merit reviews take up to 10 business days. Paid features are published within 3–5 business days of your approval.
Can I share my feature?
Absolutely. Every profile has share buttons for WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X and more, and our team shares it across Pride of UAE channels.
Know someone making the UAE proud?
