She was one place lower than her previous position at the 2011 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, just edging into the top twelve of the women's senior race. However, she led the national team to fourth in the rankings, aided by the presence of Maryam Yusuf Jamal. She performed well on the track that year, taking the 10,000 m title at the 2011 Asian Athletics Championships, the 5000 m title at the 2011 Military World Games, and then breaking the Bahraini record with a run of 31:21.57 minutes to finish sixth in the 10,000 m final at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics. She ended the year with a 5000 m bronze and 10,000 m silver at the 2011 Pan Arab Games.
