Biography

I write essays, brand stories and long-form journalism in Arabic and English. My work sits where reporting meets craft: research-led, carefully structured, and written to be read all the way through.

Interests

Away from the desk I read more than I should, walk the old city looking for stories, and keep a running notebook of overheard sentences. That habit feeds almost everything I publish.

Values

Accuracy before speed, clarity before cleverness, and a sentence that respects the reader's time. I'd rather file a day late than file something I can't stand behind.
