ABOUT ME

I grew up in Cairo and lived in Gizeh for more than 10 years. I travelled to Italy after completing university and stayed for 5 years in Milan. I married my wife, who is Italian, and returned to Egypt after and have been living here since 1994. We have 3 grown-up children.

I run a business and an organic farm in Nuweiba. I have a camp where I can host couchsurfers. I enjoy meeting travellers and the cultural exchange with people from all walks of life. I want to give back to the Bedouin communities that live in the Nuweiba region. Ideas are always welcome. www.habibaorganicfarm.wordpress.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I successfully created a camel riding school. I had some experiences communicating with nuns in Italy, which is rare for a Muslim male. I can tell you more when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Arabic and Italian, and how to ride a camel.
