My name is Yasser Alaa Mobarak. I’m a 22-year-old amateur photographer based in Alexandria, Egypt. Photography, for me, is an artistic journey which I started when I was 18 years old. I have travelled to many cities across Egypt, exploring the diverse cultures that call this country home.


Although many people in Egypt have adopted a modern way of living, I try to focus on the traditional side of Egyptian life, as this is where I feel the most authenticity and uniqueness exists.

I have produced many images from Alexandria to Aswan, Luxor and the Siwa Oasis on my photographic journey. And I would like to share a few of my favourite photographs with you.

Let’s start with some portraits of Egyptian people…

African safari

Why choose us to craft your safari?

Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.

Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
