Nasreena Ibrahim (born 21 December 1950) is a Maldivian activist who was the first lady of the Maldives from November 1978 to November 2008, as the wife of president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. She is the longest tenured first lady in history of the Maldives.[1]
Raised in Malé, Ibrahim studied from Cairo, Egypt, where she also met her future husband Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, and married in Cairo. The following year, she gave birth to twins, Dunya and Yumna, followed by Faris, and Ghassan, who was born during her tenure as first lady.
