Dinah is driven; having grown up and seen the sufferings of women in her country and countries where she sojourned, Dinah seems to be propelled by a desire to undo the pain that these sufferings have left. There is no wonder therefore that Dinah dreams of doing things that are covertly and overtly aimed at poverty alleviation.

Prior to graduating from college, Dinah began her real estate career with her father's company inCairo, Egypt. One of her Primary projects has been the revitalization of the foreclosed complexes in Downtown Cairo, which her father had purchased for 2.3million pounds in 1975.

At age 21, she made a successful commercial foray into entertainment business, investing hundreds of thousands of Dollars to become the co-producer of "The diligence lounge" located in St Laurent, Montreal. In 2008, Dinah moved to Toronto, where she became involved in larger construction projects, and used attractive architectural design to win public recognition. Dinah is known to have traveled the world, and made businesses all over Europe and the Middle East. She gained notoriety and fame in 2008, following several the investments of millions of dollars in the GTA real estate industry.


In 2011, Dinah was president of LA VILLAZ CORPORATIONS, and later amended the company name to AL M'ADINA FINANCIAL GROUP, named after her long-time friend; president and owner of  AL MADINA FINANCIAL in Qatar.

In 2009, along with several of her associates, she completed the development of the Four Seasons Hotels and Resort, in Cairo Egypt estimated at 410 million pounds. The project involved complicated negotiations with different parties, for the land, and the ISPS above a neighboring building. When negotiations were completed in 2005, "Al Akhbar" (Lebanon) wrote;

"...That Mrs. Dinah Lilia Mansour was able to obtain the location, is glowing testimony of her persistence and her skills as a negotiator."
Favorable reviews of the building’s design helped convince the city to approve the project. Dinah hired the famed,’ Zaha Hadid Architectural Services’, to manage the building's construction. That along with several other choice properties have become the hallmark of Dina’s Accomplishment in Egypt.

In 2009, Dinah joined the Rooya Group for the structural stonework of the Stone Towers Cairo.
