She entered the 100 most influential women in the world according to the magazine Forbes (74). I'm sure that watching her pictures, you will agree that it is not just a smart and strong, but also a beautiful and elegant woman with an amazing sense of style.


Oriental women have always been known for its hidden, mysterious beauty. The myth that a woman is Muslim, a priori can not be stylish and is a model of femininity and elegance - for women all over the world no more than a fiction. But who managed to dethrone him, keeping the Muslim tradition? Meet - "Arab Grace Kelly" - Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned,.

And her 52-year-she is the mother of seven children. In short, I present to you the divine Sheikh magnetic memory and its stil.Eё Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, - the second wife of three Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. Sheikha Mozah was born in 1959 in the Qatari city of Al Khor. Her father was Nasser bin Abdullah Al-Missnid, the president of Egypt. In 1977, at age 18 she was given in marriage to the Crown Prince of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who is now the ruler, Sheikh, Qatar. Apart from Sheikh Mozah, according to Muslim tradition, there are two more spouses. But that Sheikha Mozah significantly stands out against the background, it is all the time is "on sight" Mozah Nasser breaks all the stereotypes about Eastern wives.

At the moment it is one of the most active countries nyuzmeykerov.




It was she who first publicly appeared in public with open face, breaking one of the major taboos Adab in the countries of Arabia. This Qatari men, subjects to the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the first in the Gulf could see his wife's face presidential Mozah bint Nasser, to open a branch of the British Medical University Cornwell in Doha (capital of Qatar). Beautiful woman wearing a long black robe and matching head scarf and had a minimum of jewelry.



It is recalled that in the Adab Arabia requires that a woman in public wearing the traditional black cloak "abaya" and "Hail" - a veil, and black gloves and stockings. Only her husband, sons and next of kin may see a woman without them.

However, this tradition is rapidly disappearing, with the exception of Saudi Arabia today on the streets of the Gulf common to see girls and young women with uncovered faces. However, in respect of the First Ladies of the tradition persisted until recently.




These were the first steps towards reform, but despite the fact that women were free to choose the clothes, not the whole of society has adopted these changes, tradition, customs, religion still have a strong impact.

However, Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, did not stop there. The next step was to create their own unique style. For this, she has adapted European design, with minimal deviating from religious rules and traditions. And in this she succeeded - to show the world one of a kind images. She is very elegant and looks organically in their outfits for the magazine Vanity fair (and not only) is not just include it in the list of the most well-dressed people (including in 2011), second only to Carla Bruni and ahead of the Duchess of Cambridge.

Typically, Sheikha Mozah prefers to wear long earrings or large, beads and "eastern" ring - with no less massive large stones.

In addition to all celebrate the harmony of her gestures and mental sharpness, making it irresistible and welcome guest in every presidential palaces in the world.

Photos, which Sheikha Mozah exchanged greetings with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, mottled all covers. Special attention and sympathy from the British caused stylish boots.

Boots sheyhiSheyha Moza significantly different not only in appearance from the wives of other monarchs of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula, as it takes an active social position. She manages many projects in education, science, culture, protection of the rights of children and women.

In 1986 she graduated from the Faculty of Sociology, National University of Qatar. Some time Sheikha Mozah made presentations at universities in the US and various public organizations, which try to dispel many of the myths of oriental women, their lifestyle and the situation in the world today. And American University Carnegie awarded her an honorary Doctor of Science.

In 2003, with the assistance of Sheikhs opened "Education City" - a university town and the university itself, the teaching of which are professors from US universities such as Georgetown, University of Virginia, University and Carnegie Kommonvilsky University. In "Education City" has students from around the world.

This enables sheikhs breaking any stereotypes about Eastern women. It also supports the democratic transformation in the East, leading the Arab Democratic fund. This allows her to be active in the fight against domestic violence, to defend the rights of children and the right of persons with disabilities to work. Since coming to power, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, ie her husband has been some reforms, including those relating to the status of women in society.

The most curious thing that Sheikha Mozah oppose polygamy permitted by Islam. About this she expressed her opinion in an interview with the newspaper "Financial Times". "The young generation has no such problem. Sharia, by contrast, allows polygamy and there's nothing you can do, but in the future the institution of marriage itself rationalization ", - she said. Sheikha Mozah is proud that the girls are already more than 60% of university students, and the proportion of working women in the emirate is 40%. We may recall that Qatari women were the first in the history of the Gulf appeared in stadiums and sports halls.

Today Qatar Sheikh Mose 53, but despite his age and the fact that she is the mother of seven children (the total number of offspring emir unknown, although in the Western media is the number 27), it retains an amazing figure. Do Sheikha Mozah and King Hamad five sons and two daughters, among whom the heir to the throne of Qatar - Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.

When Western journalists asked her a question about what motivates her to so active, and where it draws its energy for its implementation, particularly in the areas of education, Sheikha Mozah said: "First of all, for me the privilege to be in this position. At the same time that I am a mother of seven children, determined my attitude toward education of the young generation and future generations.

I believe that education - is the key to all the changes that we want to implement in the world. Our project is education reform in Qatar is based on this philosophy. If you want any changes, any reform, political or social, must begin with the most important - with education. "

In recent years more and more women of noble and not only Arabian families emerge from the narrow circle of domestic responsibilities outlined by tradition and religion, and go in peace. Mention may be tens or hundreds araviek, who now heads the large companies are very successful business, has a serious public office, headed embassies abroad, engaged in science, art, literature and sports. And, of course, for many of them brave act Qatari first lady became a symbol of rapid change in the status of women in the Arabian Peninsula.
