Pleasing Allah.

I am 24 hours worker so you can say I am both, since I only sleep for 5 hours or even less.

Any pet peeves?

To be seated with a group of people and each one of them is busy with their phones and all are silent and not talking to each other. I guess its the sad story of the ”Unsocial media”.

Embarrassing moments on air?

During Hajj Season, I was the only presenter on ITV from morning till the next morning. At 1 am I almost fell asleep on air :). Luckily the director realized the issue and took a break and gave me some coffee and an energy drink.

Cairo, it’s so crowded and hard to find traffic rules.
