Early life

She faced significant obstacles early on in her a career as a sportscaster, remarking once that “I struggled as a Gulf woman in media, and in the sports field in particular.”[3] She credits the support of her parents as a major factor in her success.[4]
Career
editAl Shaibani's media career in Qatar began as producer of children's programs from 2001 to 2005, including the show Khazaz, winner of a Gold Award for the best such show in the Arab world.[5]
She worked in the media department of the government's Qatar General Authority of Youth from 2005 to 2007. This was followed by a stint from 2008 to 2011 at Al Kass Sports Channels in 2008,[6] where she contributed news bulletins and hosted shows on women's sports, most notably Noon (a series profiling female athletes) and Al-Dahwaniyah (daily coverage of important regional events such as the 19th Arabian Gulf Cup held in Oman in 2009). In 2011, she moved to Dubai One, where she co-hosted the variety show Swalifna Hilwa with other former anchors and broadcasters such as Maryam Amin, Marwan Saleh, and Ibrahim Al Badi.[7]
She moved at the beginning of 2012 to Sky News Arabia, returning to sport coverage.[8] In December 2013, she headed to Abu Dhabi TV to host the daily variety show Sabah Al Dar.[9] In 2013, she won the Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Award for Women Athletes in the Outstanding Media Figure category.[10] Al Shaibani was appointed in 2014 to the Media and Promotion Committee of that award, presented by Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi.[11]
