Last week, Huda Al Matroushi, 36, an Emirati, had tears after receiving the most important phone call of her life. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, was the one who sent it. Sheikh Mohamed praised the first Emirati Female Mechanic for standing out in a field dominated by men. Sheikh Mohamed informs her that he intends to get his automobile repaired, which must have brought a smile to her face.
