Born and raised in the Minnesota, Amy Subaey has also lived in Bahrain and Egypt and moved to Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in 2002. But when she was suddenly fired from her position as an English instructor at an energy company during the Covid pandemic, she found herself unemployed in a foreign country with her teenage daughter, and no clue in which direction to take her career. So she decided to follow her passion.
艾米·苏贝在明尼苏达州出生和长大，也曾在巴林和埃及生活，并于2002年搬到阿拉伯联合酋长国的迪拜。但当作为英语讲师的她在新冠肺炎疫情期间突然被一家能源公司解雇时，她发现自己和十几岁的女儿在异国他乡失业，不知道自己的职业方向。所以她决定追随自己的激情。
As an enthusiastic hiker and mountain climber, during her time in Dubai, Subaey had struggled to find like-minded people to trek with her, so in 2011 she had started a weekend hiking group. A few years later she turned it into a business called UAE Trekkers, running weekend hikes while she continued to teach English in the week.
作为一名热情的徒步旅行者和登山者，在迪拜期间，苏贝一直在努力寻找志同道合的人与她一起徒步旅行，因此在2011年，她成立了一个周末徒步旅行团。几年后，她把它变成了一家名为UAE Trekkers的公司，在周末徒步旅行，同时继续教授英语。
After losing her job in 2020, Subaey, who is now aged 55, decided to focus her energies on UAE Trekkers, which now has more than 30,000 followers on social media and offers guided hikes to over 60,000 people.
2020年失业后，现年55岁的苏贝决定将精力集中在UAE Trekkers上，该公司目前在社交媒体上有3万多粉丝，并为6万多人提供徒步向导。
No longer working a nine-to-five, she regularly wakes up at 3 am on weekdays to lead treks around some of the most breathtaking scenery surrounding Dubai, such as the exclave (飞地) of Hatta, Sharjah, Fujairah, and the neighboring country of Oman, home to Snake Canyon, a deep gorge that allows hikers to dive into its water-filled pools. She even offers a specialist sunset hike across the Liwa desert in Abu Dhabi — used as a location for filming “Dune Part Two”.
她不再朝九晚五地工作，而是经常在工作日的凌晨3点起床，带领人们徒步旅行，游览迪拜周围一些最令人惊叹的风景，比如哈达、沙迦、富查伊拉的飞地和邻国阿曼。阿曼是蛇峡谷的所在地，蛇峡谷是一个很深的峡谷，徒步旅行者可以在里面充满水的水池里潜水。她甚至提供了一次穿越阿布扎比利瓦沙漠的专业日落徒步旅行，这里是拍摄《沙丘2》的地点。
Subaey’s goal was always to get people out of Dubai city, into nature, and have them fall in love with hiking. “You can’t really feel your problems when you’re in out in nature,” she says. “Just being outside in the fresh air is so peaceful; it makes me more absorbed in the present moment. I stay out for three or four hours and once I get back, I feel so refreshed.”
苏贝的目标一直是让人们走出迪拜，进入大自然，让他们爱上徒步旅行。她说：“当你在大自然中时，你不会真正感受到自己的问题。在外面呼吸新鲜空气是如此平静；这让我更专注于当下。我在外面呆了三四个小时，一旦回来，我就会感到神清气爽。”
