In Short
Rima Iskandarani hosts government and public sector events across Dubai and the UAE with the formality, cultural fluency, and bilingual English and Arabic command these rooms require. Her experience includes national ceremonies and ministerial forums where protocol and preparation are essential.
I host national ceremonies, ministerial forums, and official programs across Dubai and the UAE where protocol is observed and language matches the dignity of each moment. Titles, order, and formal Arabic are prepared and confirmed before event day.

What I Handle
- Protocol weeks ahead I request guest lists, title sheets, and seating order early, and confirm every pronunciation in advance.
- Formal Arabic prepared I prepare and review formal Arabic for official moments; nothing is improvised on stage.
- Calm last-minute changes If a VIP is added or seating shifts, I adjust quietly without the audience noticing.
- Holds the room with dignity I fill delays without trivializing them and resume protocol the moment the room is ready.
- Language by protocol I follow the language plan set by the protocol officer, switching formally between Arabic and English.
Why Rima for government & public sector
- Protocol precision . Government audiences notice wrong titles, skipped acknowledgements, and casual Arabic registers immediately.
- Warmth within formality . A cold mechanical host distances the room; experience creates respect that feels natural, not forced.
- Reputational protection . A protocol error signals disrespect to people trained to notice; the right host treats that risk with the seriousness it deserves.

Investment
Government and protocol event quotes depend on the protocol level, language requirements, event duration, preparation time for titles and formal Arabic segments, and the number of VIPs requiring coordination. For official programs, I price around protocol prep, confirmed titles, and formal Arabic requirements.
