Her role bridges diplomacy, education, and heritage preservation, positioning her as a powerful advocate for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 — a bold roadmap for transformation.

A Strong Educational Foundation

Princess Haifa hails from the prominent Al-Muqrin family, where education and service were always top priorities. After earning her undergraduate degree in Economics from King Saud University, she went on to complete a Master’s at the University of London’s SOAS.

These academic experiences equipped her with a global perspective — a quality that now defines her leadership style.

A Career Built on Development and Diplomacy

Before her diplomatic appointment, Princess Haifa built a strong foundation in international development:

  • World Bank – Worked on anti-poverty and human development programs.
  • UNDP – Led efforts aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • Saudi Ministry of Economy & Planning – Played a vital role during Saudi Arabia’s G20 presidency in 2020.

Her expertise in strategic planning and multilateral coordination made her a natural fit for a high-profile international role.

Championing Culture and Education at UNESCO

Appointed in 2020, Princess Haifa’s work at UNESCO has been transformative:

  • Spearheading efforts to get Saudi heritage sites like AlUla and Al-Ahsa Oasis inscribed as World Heritage sites.
  • Advocating for STEM education, especially for young women.
  • Promoting Saudi Arabia’s intangible cultural heritage, from folk music to traditional crafts.

Through her diplomacy, she has helped redefine the global narrative around Saudi Arabia — showcasing it as forward-thinking, culturally rich, and inclusive.

A Visionary Leadership Style

Princess Haifa’s approach to leadership is built on three key principles:

  • Strategic Alignment – Every step supports long-term goals, especially those of Vision 2030.
  • Collaborative Leadership – She brings together governments, NGOs, and private sectors.
  • Female Empowerment – Her visible role inspires Saudi women to lead with confidence and purpose.

Aligning With Vision 2030

Her initiatives contribute directly to Saudi Arabia’s strategic ambitions:

  • Boosting soft power by showcasing Saudi culture on the world stage.
  • Supporting cultural tourism to diversify the economy.
  • Driving educational reform and empowering youth.
  • Strengthening global partnerships through UNESCO and beyond.

Overcoming Challenges with Diplomacy

Global diplomacy isn’t easy. Princess Haifa has managed:

  • Misconceptions about Saudi Arabia through storytelling and transparency.
  • Institutional politics within multilateral bodies like UNESCO.
  • Complex geopolitical environments where cultural advocacy requires finesse.

Her resilience, patience, and strategic insight continue to be key to her success.

Looking Ahead: Legacy in the Making

Princess Haifa’s goals remain ambitious:

  • Gain recognition for more Saudi sites on the global heritage map.
  • Position Saudi Arabia as a leader in digital education and women in STEM.
  • Mentor future diplomats and leaders, especially women.
  • Support the creation of world-class Saudi cultural institutions.
