Zina Emad

At a time that blends sports and art, artist Zina Emad appears in a different light, reflecting her close and spontaneous personality: attending padel courts with the passion of a fan, and preparing for an exceptional artistic step as the first artist to sing at Aquarabia in Al-Qiddiya.

Between the excitement of the stadiums and the backstage preparations for upcoming concerts, Zina opens her heart to talk about a new experience she is leading herself, as the first artist to sing at Aquarabia in Al-Qiddiya.

## Padel: The Joy of Attending, Far from Competition ##

* We see you today at the padel tournament. What is your interest in this sport?

Honestly, I am very interested in padel. My friends are players, and I always love to attend and cheer them on. The atmosphere with them is completely different, full of excitement and good energy. Today at the padel league, the attendance is very enjoyable.

* Do you play the game?

I play, but very casually and only in my free time, just for fun, nothing more.

* Might we see you competing one day?

No, it’s impossible for me to participate in padel tournaments. That’s completely out of my league, but I might participate in equestrian tournaments. That’s possible.

* What do you like most about padel?

The atmosphere itself, the attendance, the interaction, the energy that happens between people. Away from art, I like to be present and live the experience.

* What is your message to the fans?

I hope everyone attends the semi-final and final competitions. The atmosphere is different, and one must attend.

* You will hold two concerts at Aquarabia in Al-Qiddiya, and you will be the first artist to sing there. Tell us about your preparations?

I am very, very happy and excited about this experience. Being the first artist to sing at Aquarabia in Al-Qiddiya is a big deal for me. I feel it is a responsibility as much as it is a beautiful opportunity. To be among the first artists to participate in launching concerts there is truly something to be proud of. Especially since the project is huge and everyone is excited about it.

* You will present two concerts. Can you give us more details?

I have two concerts: one day dedicated to
