ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am Egyptian, born in Giza Governorate and raised in Bahariya Oasis, where tourism, desert landscapes and conversations with visitors were part of everyday life. That early contact made travel and exploration a lasting interest.
I graduated in software engineering from Ain Shams University and now design tourism websites. Egypt Field Notes combines that technical experience with years of visiting Egyptian destinations, so foreign visitors can ask better questions, compare options and travel with respect for local communities.
I welcome travelers who need an independent suggestion for a hotel, licensed company or transfer. Recommendations depend on dates, needs and budget; no single provider is right for everyone.
