I'm an engineer by degree but a storyteller by heart. My career is all about creating content.

I've worked as a writer, a marketing strategist, and a content manager for some amazing brands and TV shows across the Middle East.

Originally from Egypt, I'm currently based in Dubai, but my work has taken me across 9 different markets, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

My personal motto is "Live to impact," and I try to bring that into everything I do, whether it's a marketing campaign or just a good conversation.

I'm a voracious reader (over 250 books a year!) and I believe every person and every place has a unique story worth discovering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a content creator and storyteller, I believe the most powerful stories come from genuine human connection.

I'm on Couchsurfing to experience the world in a more authentic way than a hotel could ever offer. I want to meet real people, understand different ways of life, and exchange ideas and perspectives.

For me, traveling isn't just about seeing new places; it's about collecting experiences and making a positive impact, even in a small way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to pick just one! A truly amazing experience was being part of the content creation team for "العباقرة" (The Geniuses), a major quiz show on the "Al-Qahira Wal-Nas" TV channel in Egypt.

It was incredible to see our ideas come to life on screen and contribute to a program that celebrates knowledge.

On a more personal note, I'm proud to have won an award for the best article on the level of Egyptian universities, which was a huge honor.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I've trained over 3,700 people in content creation and digital marketing, and I'd be happy to share some tips! Whether you want to write better, start a blog, improve your social media, or just brainstorm a creative project, I'm happy to help.

Learn: I want to learn what makes your city and culture unique. I'm eager to learn about your local stories, your favorite foods, a few words in your language, and your perspective on the world. I'm a lifelong learner, always curious.

Share: I can share countless stories from my work with content creators, my travels across the Middle East, and the experience of living in hubs like Cairo, Riyadh, and Dubai. I can also share insights into Arabic culture and the nuances between different dialects like Egyptian, Saudi, and Emirati, all of which I speak.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First and foremost, great conversation and a respectful, tidy presence in your home. I can share stories from the worlds of media, marketing, and television in the Middle East.

If you're interested, I can offer a mini-workshop on storytelling or help you with a creative project you're working on. I can also try my hand at cooking a simple, classic Egyptian dish for us to share!
