What inspired you to study archaeology?

Ever since I was young, I was always captivated by stories of ancient civilizations and how they lived. I wanted to understand what their daily lives were like, what they believed in, and what challenges they faced. Studying archaeology allows me to uncover these stories and share them with others.

What has been the biggest challenge you've faced in your studies so far?

One of the biggest challenges has been learning to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures. Cairo is a melting pot of different people and languages, and it takes time to learn how to navigate these differences. But it's also been a great opportunity to learn and grow as a person, and to gain a greater appreciation for diversity.
