It is my distinct honor and pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Consulate General of the United Arab Emirates in Houston. I invite you to explore the wealth of information available here about the UAE and the comprehensive range of consular services we are proud to offer our community and visitors.

Houston is one of America's premier cities for innovation plays a pivotal role in advancing the bilateral relationship between the UAE and the United States across key sectors, including oil and gas, healthcare, advanced technology, and tourism.

Houston is also home to a thriving community of Emirati students pursuing academic excellence at some of Texas's most distinguished institutions, including the University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Rice University, and the University of Houston.

The UAE's world-class free zone incentives continue to attract leading American and multinational corporations seeking to expand and grow within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We are proud to host more than 1,000 American companies and to hold the distinction of being the largest export market for the United States in the Arab world.

As the local representative of UAE diplomacy in Texas, my mission is to cultivate and sustain dynamic new partnerships and initiatives with American academic institutions and enterprises, in close coordination with the UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C.
