My name is Ain El Hayat – “the Eye of Life” – a name I inherited from my Egyptian grandmother. I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany, and since 2018 I’ve been living between two cultures. This unique blend also shapes my personality: with an Egyptian father from Damietta (where I spent many summers) and a German mother from Berlin, I combine the warm, easygoing spirit of Egypt (el damm el khafef - the light blood) with the direct and humorous charm of Berlin (Berliner Schnauze).
I love welcoming guests and creating unforgettable experiences – whether through meaningful conversations or by offering authentic insights into Egyptian culture. I’m also happy to help organize trips to the pyramids or other historical landmarks.
If you’re looking for a unique and personal experience in Egypt, I’m always here to help.
