    Description

    Hello Workawayers! We are a friendly Egyptian family living in Obour City, just 30 minutes away from Cairo. I am a 25-year-old Civil Engineer, and I live with my supportive mother and my brother, Youssef. We are a welcoming and open-minded family who loves hosting people from different cultures.
    In my free time, I love bodybuilding, fitness, and language learning (currently practicing English and interested in German). I am also a huge dog lover and breeder, and we have a wonderful Rottweiler named Bella at our place.
    We are excited to welcome you to our home, share our Egyptian culture and delicious food with you, and help you explore Cairo while you help us with our projects or language exchange!
