It’s really cool to see talented people in the Arab world actually getting the chance to show their abilities and apply their ideas in real life. And what’s even cooler, is when these talents are being invested in transforming old or abandoned sites, which are of no use whatsoever -and which are really ugly in [...]

Last night and while I was watching TV after an exhausting day, I happened to watch Fadi Andrawos’ latest video clip: “Falastine w Lebnan“, i.e. Palestine & Lebanon; an extremely outstanding song addressing the “double identity” issue that irritates so many on this planet, especially if this double identity included the word Palestinian. I LOVED [...]

بصراحة، في كل مرة أكتب فيها عن أحداث الحرب في غزة، أجد نفسي أشكر الله على وجود أشخاص نشِطين لا يزال ضميرهم مفعم بالحياة، يحاولون إيجاد حلول فعلية للمشاركة في مساعدة منكوبي حرب غزة بدلا من الاكتفاء بالشجب والاستنكار والتهديد والوعيد واللطم والنواح. والحمد لله أن الدنيا لسّا بخير، فها نحن نرى شاحنات الإغاثة تنقل [...]

I got back to Tunis around a week ago. I’ve been in a decluttering mode ever since, and I guess I’d be stuck in this mode for a little while. My visit to Amman was great, except for the fact that I was able to meet only two of my family members, I really miss [...]

So Queen Rania of Jordan decided to become a Vlogger addressing the problem of stereotypes, in an attempt to reach out to the west and break down these stereotypes. I believe it’s not unusual for the Queen to come up with such smart and creative initiatives of a huge impact. I personally think that stereotyping [...]

So it’s been snowing in many Middle Eastern countries in the past couple of weeks. God I miss snow! It’s been around 5 years since I last saw snow in real life. Snow actually triggers some of the sweetest memories for me. It reminds me of moments so dear to my heart that sometimes I [...]

[picture edited by Odai Nemri] 2 years since the horrible terrorist attacks on Amman, Jordan. Today is one of those days in which you find yourself speechless.
