Vitae..

I was born on November 15th, 1979 in the beautiful city known as The Pearl of the Mediterranean; it is the  "Alexandria" of "Egypt"... I rose up as the middle son among three. Being Alexandrian, I became a "Sea"-addict man.

I love sports; specially Swimming, Basket Ball, Soccer, and Biking..
