Hi everyone,

Two lines about me
عَمّار
A builder | Tracking and documenting the Egyptian language/urban texture through history.

Apart from that, I like a nice walk with a refreshing drink

For all hosts: I think we can have a Zoom call before you make up you mind, this way you can know me a little bit more :)

For all guests
I have a room that fits for two travellers, I accept one individual or two people who are travelling together, just for you own privacy and comfort. You can use the kitchen, bathroom and living room and make yourself at home, I live with two housemates and we all are friendly and welcoming. I can also show you around the city and if you want to travel around to the big cities I can help you do this for free - in the weekend I can take one person on my student ticket for free to use all public transportation, and everyday after 7 Pm (apparently this generous offer is no needed now, thanks to the 9 euro ticket lol)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Financial and more
Because I cannot afford paying for a place to rest all the time.
For the chance that I might get to sit and talk and learn and add a memory, a laugh, and a face to my years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

yet to be made

Teach, Learn, Share

I am obsessed with ancient Egypt and in particular the language and architecture, so we can share about it if you want and I can also show you how to read it and maybe you also show me more about.
I am in love with how a city breathes, how can you build beautiful and smart at the same time. (so far, I think the Netherlands is the master of this art)
I do like Poetry and would love to read some Arabic poetry for you and help with explaining the feeling before the literal meaning

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, the Egyptian culture; Music, Movies, literature, History, a little bit about food, books I have read.
stories about the people I met.
