Bio
Born in Cairo to a bi-lingual family, I grew up speaking Arabic and German natively. I spent my school education at the German School where I added English as a foreign language. My Bachelors in Egyptian Art & History to become a professional certified tour guide, enabled me to practice my 3 languages during my 28yr. Tour Guide career, where I explained to my groups all about my culture, history, and present covering all possible aspects of life back and forth in all the 3 languages. Reading a lot enriched my general knowledge & polished my language skills further. That also involves a lot of translation work that enables me to translate different topics and texts. Always eager to learn more and to develop my skills to enrich my life & career experience.
