Ibrahim Al Bawaba, a travel blogger, is the founder of Al Bawaba Eg. Popularly known as Ram among his friends and family, Ibrahim is an avid traveler. He’s a full-time travel blogger dedicated to exploring more of his home country, Egypt.
Born and raised in California, Ram has lived in the U.S. all his life. He started traveling with his parents occasionally to Egypt for vacations and, most importantly, meeting their extended family. This is where his love for traveling started.
Even though he grew up in California, Ram was exposed to his Egyptian culture at home. His parents reminded him continuously about what it meant to be Egyptian through food and cultural teachings.
While studying for a Computer Science degree at the University of California, Berkley Ibrahim took advantage of the long summer breaks to travel and explore Egypt. His undying love for travel and special interest in his home country are unrelenting.
With love for his culture and family instilled back at home, Ibrahim enjoys going back to his motherland and learning more about his country and roots. His kind of travel is not the shallow type that looks to fulfill a checklist.
With love for his culture and family instilled back at home, Ibrahim enjoys going back to his motherland and learning more about his country and roots. His kind of travel is not the shallow type that looks to fulfill a checklist.
He travels to learn and develop a deep connection with his beloved country. His travel is slow and intentional. Ibrahim loves to try new food, connect with locals, and explore the Egyptian culture deeply.
Travel for Ibrahim isn’t about the top ten destinations to visit in Egypt or the must-see places in Egypt. Instead, it’s about trying everything out there and investigating deeply. Ibrahim revisits places repeatedly to get a deep understanding of the culture and the people in those places.
He travels the beaten paths to visit the most remote places for an authentic experience of Egypt and its locals.
I believe that traveling is more than just seeing or exploring places, but an opportunity to explore your wild side. Truly, traveling is living a perfect life, one that I enjoy exploring. The sky is the only limit to what I can accomplish.
