Adwa Al Dakheel, 28, is fostering the next generation of Saudi entrepreneurs as one of the kingdom’s biggest innovators.
She’s also an online influencer who flies planes, plays squash and more.
It was just another day for Adwa Al Dakheel when she agreed to accompany her friend on a flight aboard a single-engine aircraft. The 28-year-old Saudi pilot had no idea her friend planned to practice stalls that day during her first flight on such a plane. At 6,000 feet, he reduced the throttle and lifted up until they stalled, and they experienced zero gravity. “I was scared for my life, shivering and yellow in the face,” says Al Dakheel. “That’s when I promised myself I would learn how to do this and not be scared.”

Hardline Islamist and anti-Semitic content has been removed from Saudi Arabia’s curriculum, according to a new report, in what researchers say marks a historic shift in attitudes in the Gulf Kingdom.
A study of the latest Saudi teaching materials found that official state textbooks - distributed to 30,000 schools in Saudi Arabia and abroad - no longer contained calls for non-believers and gay men to be punished by death, nor the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Jews control the world.
Also gone were predictions of an apocalyptic final battle in which Muslims would kill all Jews, found the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-SE), an Israel-based group that reviews teaching materials from around the world.
