living in egypt. part i

Hello my dear Asaliyos. Here I am to tell you about my adventures in Hurghada.

How did I end up living in this beautiful city? Well, it wasn't by thoughtful choice.

I was living in Dubai, at the beginning of 2021 the Dubai government decided that entertainment had to be cancelled, just imagine, singers, musicians and dancers among others not being able to work.

I thought and after thinking, not much 😉 I decided to try Egypt.

Egypt is a familiar country for me, I think it is one of the corners of the world where I manage best. After having visited it for 15 consecutive years, to learn and improve different styles, it is without a doubt like my second home. My stays were often long, I went for a Festival for a week and always ended up changing my ticket to stay there for a month or so.

Over time and my passion for languages, including Arabic, I developed a great connection, helped by knowing how to communicate with Egyptians in their own dialect, and this went further, to the point of enrolling in language school to learn the modern arabic.

It was thought and done, and why not go to Egypt? And so I was, packing and heading to Cairo on February 8, 2021.

The first days I spent in Cairo, at the house of my dear friend Amir, one of the most beautiful people I have ever met, he welcomed me back into his house with his wonderful family.

Because of the friends I had, musicians and dancers, I initially thought of settling in the city of Cairo, and on the other hand I wanted to take a vacation. I decided to go to Hurghada, a place I also knew, and there everything unfolded in a magical way.

I was arriving into the city and, without me asking, to have a house and work in just 5 days. Ask and it will be given to you, you will have heard it, right?

In the second part I will tell you what happened from that precise moment.

Any curiosity you have regarding my stay there during my 8 months, ask me, here I am ready to answer everything I can.

See you soon!
