For one unforgettable shoot, we brought together four dynamic women who decided to carve out their future in Dubai

What happens when you put a group of some of Dubai’s most influential female expats in the same room? This is the question we asked ourselves when we decided to bring together four of the city’s most successful women to celebrate our launch issue. As they arrived on set, it became clear that any time you assemble talented, innovative, and confident women in one place, the result is always going to end up being a whole lot of magic...

Each of these women has forged a trailblazing career for herself. Though on paper, their success comes in very different forms. Tracy Harmoush is an investment banker turned speaker and entrepreneur. Nat Morcos is a serial creative with multiple businesses under her belt, including Goshá Group and the newly opened Skooni residence. Mary Cristine, who grew up in Dubai, is a leading voice in the fields of holistic wellness and gut health in the region. And Layla Kardan is an all-singing, all-dancing performer turned business mogul.

Energetic, generous, fun, driven and, above all, passionate, they are the very definition of the MADAME Arabia woman.
