The word Dhafir represents the name of an Oasis located in the western region of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. This Oasis lies in close proximity to Liwa. The roots of Mr. Sultan’s family lie in this serene town, far away from the hustles of the modern world.

Early in his career, he started working for Government departments. However, as he looked around, he realized that there were bigger opportunities, whereby he could contribute to the society. He began sharing his ideas and thoughts with his friends and was encouraged by their positive feedback. The situation was thus: the UAE had begun to experience dramatic growth, spearheaded by its dynamic President, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, whose ambitious vision was backed by significant investment in infrastructure. Naturally, the country’s economy began to take off.

For Mr. Sultan, there were two decisions to make. One was to seize the opportunities that an emerging economy threw in. The other was to play an active part in building a new country and give back to the society.
