Last year, Saudi Arabia allowed food trucks to serve pilgrims in holy places for the first time. Dozens of trucks managed and run by both women and men moved through various locations during Hajj offering food and drinks to visitors. With the drive to move its economy away from oil dependency, Saudi Arabia has been increasing institutional support for startups and up-and-coming entrepreneurs.

This has led to many young Saudi women and men setting up their own businesses such as food trucks, which have become a phenomenon in major cities across the country. Today, one woman who recently joined the wave of food truck owners is becoming a favorite in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.

Reham Fozi Shabana can be found in various locations around the city, serving up delicious, juicy burgers to her customers. Only 26 years of age, this Saudi Arabian entrepreneur owns Serial Grillers, one of the few women-owned food trucks in the Kingdom. Shabana is actually a trained dentist but decided to embark on a journey into serving one of her favorite meals – burgers – to her city.
