Yunus Saif
Anchor on Dubai One
MY BIO
Born on April 16th 1982, and the oldest among his siblings, Yunus Saif spent his childhood, following in his father’s footsteps and learning the business skills needed to succeed him. By the time he was12 years old, he had travelled to more than four countries without either parent accompanying him. Yunus is a big fan of the Great Outdoors, and loves feeling one with nature – he loves the feeling of being part of nature, whether that includes just being under the open sky, by the azure sea or the shifting desert sands….
Yunus spends most of his days off diving, fishing, kayaking, water skiing, camping, playing football, shooting, horseback riding and flying micro-lights with friends. He is also a big animal lover and confesses that wildlife conservation occupies a special place in his heart. An alumni of the Dubai National School, he continued on to the University of Miami in 2000 to pursue his higher studies in business administration and law. Following the events of September 11th 2001, Yunus returned to the UAE in 2002 to continue his education at the American University of Sharjah. Prior to joining the Emirates News team as Reporter & Presenter, he worked with Microsoft as Marketing Executive, followed by a stint as Vehicle Distribution Analyst at General Motors. He smilingly recounts that he has gained the dubious distinction of being the first UAE national to present the local news in English
In the Media field he has gained vast experience in interviewing important and influential people all from celebrities to politicians to Sheikhs.
