It was not on Ghadeer and Ruba Al-Attishan's mind that they retrieve their childhood memories and their association with the Tamis bread to a profit-generating investment project through the establishment of Tamisa restaurant, a popular meals restaurant in Riyadh, which takes its guests on a journey that combines the glorious past with the authenticity of the present. Their passion for Saudi cuisine and their own way of tasting, as well as their desire to demonstrate the authenticity of the hospitable Saudi people, led them to think about how to invest those capabilities and turn them into a project, which two years ago led them to create the popular meals restaurant Tamisa. The recent launch of the Ministry of Tourism's campaign (Your Future is Tourism) was a moral boost for them as investors, as well as an incentive for Saudi men and women to invest in the restaurant and tourism sector to enhance their confidence of their social heritage. "Your Future is Tourism campaign broke the ice for Saudis to work in the tourism sector, giving them self-confidence and encouraging them to apply for 100,000 jobs during this year, and highlighting the authenticity of the generous Saudi people by welcoming guests" Ghadeer said. Their story went through three stages to before establishing their restaurant that mixed two different era. Ghadeer says "My father encouraged us to cook and taste by holding a competition between us. The first stage was to make meals in our house in Riyadh, and then give them to the family and friends at special events, and we went on for about two years, to come up with the third stage through the food truck project, and after our distinction, we established the restaurant." Ruba said paying attention to the details is one of the factors that has written our success story. Attention to simple things like decor, furniture, staff costume, and even the menu, which has given the place creative touches. Ghadeer and Ruba recommends young men and women to take advantage of Your Future is Tourism campaign, and apply for jobs and gain experience, stressing that with patience and perseverance, everyone can reach his ambition. It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Tourism launched Your Future is Tourism campaign, as part of its strategy for developing human capital, which aims to develop the capabilities of male and female national cadres through various training and qualification programs, and provide them with job skills that support them to get their suitable job.
