I really got into photography when I started bringing point-and-shoot cameras with me on my hikes and other trips. In 2024, I bought a 'real' camera (Sigma BF) and I was hooked. Now I can share all the beautiful places I explore with you in HD. What's your preference: digital or analog?

I love traveling and exploring the world and meeting new people. Sometimes I write about these trips, more as reminders for myself and also as an easy way to share suggested itineraries with friends.

Poster for 'The Majls Podcast' featuring a microphone, two fists, and the tagline 'Connecting people through stories, not hype.' It mentions 'Not on Spotify but everywhere else' and includes a QR code.

Majlis is the Arabic word for “a place where people gather to sit, talk, and exchange ideas.”

The Majlis Podcast is built around that idea, featuring thoughtful, open conversations with creative people from different backgrounds, crafts, and professions. Hosted by Ahmed, the podcast gives space to people who create, build, and shape the world in their own way, with the goal of learning directly from their experiences, curiosity, and dedication to their craft.

Pull up a seat — you’re welcome in the Majlis.
