Amy Subaey turned her back on teaching to lead desert hikes with her company UAE Trekkers.
Amy Subaey always had an adventurous spirit but in 2020 she embarked on her biggest adventure yet. Born and raised in the Minnesota, she has also lived in Bahrain and Egypt and moved to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates , in 2002. But when she was suddenly made redundant from her position as an English instructor at an energy company during the Covid pandemic, she found herself unemployed in a foreign country with her teenage daughter, and no clue in which direction to take her career.
” Going against the grain, Subaey employed current and former educators as well as mothers, like herself, as guides. From this, UAE Trekkers developed a “student- centered” approach that caters to new hikers, from the classroom to the trails. “Hiking tends to be a way that people can show very quickly how fit they are, or how fast they can go, and we really wanted to remove that competitive atmosphere and cater to all levels,” Subaey says.
