Hey! I’m Amr, born by the Nile, raised between ancient pyramids and modern cities, shaped by the stories of the desert and the dreams of megaprojects. I’m a 39-year-old civil engineer from Egypt, with experience of building infrastructure in Saudi Arabia the heart of the Middle East.
My soul is part desert wanderer, part city explorer. I find joy in walking through centuries-old alleys, and the same joy in talking to strangers about the fall of civilizations. I’ve lived in places where history breathes through stones from Cairo’s minarets to the silent wadis of Neom.
I speak Arabic and English, love cultural exchange, and never say no to a good story over tea (or coffee if you insist). I’m tidy, respectful, and believe that every couch I sleep on holds a memory worth sharing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m visiting the different cities to explore its energy, meet locals, and understand how life flows in these corners of the world. I’m not just a tourist. I’m a curious soul looking for real connections.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a deep love for music that tells a story like traditional Arabic oud melodies to soft Turkish rock and lo-fi beats. I enjoy anything that stirs emotion or carries a cultural soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent two days camping deep in the Arabian desert with a Bedouin tribe no phone signal, no electricity, just fire, stars, silence, and ancient stories. It changed the way I see time, connection, and simplicity. unforgettable.
