Media coverage: Abdul's BBQ

With the February 2024 edition of Entrepreneur Middle East, we are celebrating our 10th anniversary! To mark this milestone, we’ve turned back the clocks, and revisited 10 stories that we featured in the publication in 2014. As such, we’re turning the spotlight again on HRH Prince @khaledalwaleed (KBW Ventures), @mudassirsheikha (@careem), @louloukhazen (Conversation with Loulou and Spade Ventures), @eliehabib (@anghami), @imanbenchaibah (@sailpublishing), Badr Jafar (Crescent Enterprises), Simon Hudson (Cheeze), @srachidi123 (@risalatcomm), @lee_sha_rene and @morradirsane (@takafuldao)- check out how far they've come since we first featured them, and what's next for each of their stories.
