Urban heritage & cultural development consultant

In a constantly evolving city, users interact with Alexandria’s urban landscape. This interaction shapes the unique character and vibrancy of its public spaces. These places are full of energy—bustling yet serene, lively yet weary. Through my daily observations, I aim to document and analyse the intricate tapestry of urban life, exploring the modern socio-cultural fabric of the city and trying to provide insights into Alexandria’s culture during a period of significant change and rapid development.

I write mainly about Alexandria and occasionally some other cities.
