Your host
Samia was born and raised in Alexandria, an Egyptian city located on Mediterranean Sea that was once home to one the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Lighthouse of Alexandria. She studied Egyptology at the University of Alexandria, where she became an expert in ancient Egyptian history and civilization. “I believe that the best way to learn about the different cultures is through traveling,” she shares. “I love meeting people from different backgrounds and to exchange different life experiences with them.” When she’s not traveling, Samia lives with her mom and sister. Along with Egyptology, she’s also passionate about swimming, walking, reading, and listening to music.
