Talents
Ziyad Almaayouf
At the age of 23, Ziyad Almaayouf has taken the international boxing world by storm. After training for years under some of the best boxers in the world, he became the first-ever Saudi boxer to claim victory in a professional fight. Late nights, early mornings, tough days and relentless fighting, every step Ziyad has taken has led to him cementing his place in history and making his country proud.
Raha Moharrak
At the age of 25, Raha Moharrak became the youngest Arab and first Saudi woman to climb Mount Everest. She took a step forward soon after and became the first Saudi woman to scale all seven summits. Raha’s journey is more than a single peak or milestone. It’s built by the steps she takes every day to help other young women in the region reach their dreams and climb their own personal Mount Everest. She lives by the motto, “Not everyone will climb Everest, but everyone has an Everest to climb.”
Molham Krayem
Molham Krayem caught global attention with his song ‘Khayali’, reminding the world of Saudi’s musical talent. However, his journey started long before he achieved his dreams. From doodling rhymes at the side of notebook during maths class to working a corporate 9-5, hoping to one day release his own songs, every step in Molham’s journey has led to his musical milestones. As an icon for young Saudis, Molham is now the voice of a generation. However, every moment of hardwork, every obstacle overcome, matters as much as the music that put him, and Saudi on the map.
Layla Ghaleb
Layla Ghaleb’s rise to success began with a simple step. A conversation with a friend, fueled by a shared passion for dance and a desire to show the world what Egyptian dance can do. This spark led to the creation of Goodspace, a pioneering dance camp in the Middle East, where everyone is welcome to enjoy and learn dance. At just 27 years old, Layla's journey is already flourishing and promises even greater achievements ahead. With every step she takes, her path is sure to be well choreographed, inspiring others along the way.
