She has served as Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, and founded the Cairo Child Museum in collaboration with the British Museum.

Early life and education

[edit]

Suzanne Saleh Thabet was born in Al Minya Governorate, located on the Nile River about 250 kilometres to the south of Cairo, on 28 February 1941.[1] She was the daughter of an Egyptian paediatrician, Saleh Thabet,[2][3][4] and Welsh nurse Lily Palmer, a native of Pontypridd.[1] Her parents married in London in 1934, when Thabet was a medical student at Cardiff University and Palmer was a nurse working at The Infirmary on Camden Road, Islington. Mubarak has an older brother, Mounir Sabet, who is a former president of the Egyptian Olympic Committee.[5] She attended St. Claire School in Heliopolis, Cairo.

She met her future husband, Egyptian Air Force officer Hosni Mubarak, when she was 16 years old.[6] The couple married when she was 17 years old[6] and had two sons; Alaa Mubarak and Gamal Mubarak. She returned to school ten years after her marriage.[6] She is a Christian.[7]

Mubarak graduated from American University in Cairo (AUC) in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in political science and then received a master's degree in sociology from AUC in 1982.[6][8] Her thesis is entitled "Social Action Research in Urban Egypt: Case study of primary school upgrading in Bulaq".[citation needed]

First Lady of Egypt

[edit]

Mubarak became First Lady of Egypt upon her husband's accession to the presidency on 14 October 1981 and served as First Lady until her husband's resignation on 11 February 2011.[citation needed]

Mubarak's activities in projects relating to human trafficking and family affairs became prominent in Egypt.[9] She led the Egyptian U.N. delegation in conferences relating to women and children. In 1985 she founded the Child Museum of Cairo in collaboration with the British Museum.

In March 2008, Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa was arrested for reporting on Hosni Mubarak's health problems in August 2007.[12] Mubarak then gave a rare television address to allege that Hosni was actually healthy and reporters who suggested otherwise deserve to be punished.[12]
