I grew up in the village of Al Gizira, which is on the west bank of the Nile, across from Luxor. I studied hotel management here in Luxor. I have my own flat, but I usually stay with my mom because I like to take care of her; we are very close. My older brother lives with his wife and two children in Hurghada, so it's just me and my mom here in Luxor. My place is on the west bank in my hometown of Al Gizira, but Al Gizira doesn't come up when I search for it, so I had to put Luxor. It's basically Luxor.
