I was born and grew up in Bethlehem, a mixed Christian and Muslim city in the Palestinian Authority.After earning an engineering degree in the prestigious Novosibirsk University in Russia, I decided at one point in my life to pursue my curiosity and appreciation for different cultures and passion for traveling and became a certified tour guide.And so, for the past 15 years I have worked as a tour guide in Bethlehem and other important and significant locations and sites in the Holy Land.I have served as a lecturer at the school of Tourism at Dar Al Kalima University at Behtlehem, happily married, father to four children
