About Me!

I was born in Beni-Suef, the capital of a governorate, with the same name, located 120 Km to the south of Cairo, in 1981. Although Beni-Suef is considered a small city, I have adorabale memories where I grown up and met my first true love, my beloved wife, Asmaa.

I had my first true and hard life experiences when I moved to Cairo to start my higher education in Cairo University. It was a huge jump for me to move from Beni-Suef with the 2-million population to Cairo with the 17-million population. During my study for the Bachelor and Master degrees, I stayed in my family's apartment in Cairo, and then moved to my lovely apartment near to the Giza Pyramids where I got married.

Although I am busy with my family and career, I try to find time to play my favorite sports: soccer, volleyball, and Ping-Pong. I also like to read science fiction novels and see action movies. After being blessed with my children (Ahmad and Salma), I like most to spend time playing with them and witnessing their growth day after day.

Finally, and not last, I bear a huge gratefulness and love to my dear parents who sacrificed and supported me, emotionally and financially, a lot, and they are still.

I used to see the pyramids from my apartment in Giza, but not anymore because of the massive urban development around it!
