emirates7 - Badr Al-Maskari and Shawq Al-Maskari, members of the Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO), have become the first licensed cultural and tourism guides in Abu Dhabi to offer tours and workshops using sign language. They successfully completed a rigorous training programme initiated through a partnership between ZHO and the Zayed National Museum.
This programme, overseen by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, is designed to empower People of Determination and promote their inclusion in various sectors. Launched in early 2024, it provides both theoretical and practical training in tourist guiding, with a focus on the emirate's historical and cultural landmarks, along with communication and customer service skills.
