Bio
Hey, my name is Na’el Abu Alteen. I’m a full-time lifestyle/travel influencer (digital creator), I live in Dubai, and I travel around the world! I started my social media journey in 2013 during my last year in the faculty of engineering. In the past 5 years, I arranged my daily life between being an engineer and a social media influencer. This year, I decided to quit engineering and focus on my passion, which is being a full-time digital creator.
I have worked with many international and local brands, more than 500 luxury hotels around the world, more than 15 tourism boards, and 8 airlines.
I was the presenter of a live television show on Alaan TV in 2019, I am a brand ambassador for many brands, and I opened my own boutique at Boutiqaat in 2019.
