Trust me I'm a Doctor

By now most people are aware that Dr Al Fahim isn't actually a Doctor. So how did this confusion come about?

On 14 June, the Observer seemed to have cleared it all up:
Last week Ilic Gabara contacted the Observer and said: "He does not have the title of doctor. He does not call himself a doctor, no. Others may have misconstrued his dual MBA into a doctor's title. But not him." The ­American University in Washington DC, where he studied, does not award doctorates.

So, it was a mistake of others and Al Fahim did not intend to make false claims.

It is therefore interesting to read the claim that still appears on the Hydra Properties website:

H.E. Al Fahim received his PhD in Real Estate investment and an MBA in Finance and Real Estate from Kogod School of Business from the American University in Washington DC ...

Possibly more interesting though is the opening three second shot of Hydra Executives. He is clearly shown signing his name as 'Dr' Sulaiman Al Fahim.

One is left to wonder why Al Fahim did not spot the error.
