I knew I was
travelling to Basata during spring break so I definitely wanted to find my
story there because I knew I could easily get inspired there. It is only when I
got there that I decided to base my photo essay on the story of Basata. With
the owner, Sherif Ghamrawy, present all day long, I was able to contact him
easily. It was my first time to travel to Basata so I was fascinated by it.
From what he told me, I was able to define my angle which was the exposure of
Egypt’s culture and civilization in every domain possible. The culture was
portrayed in the food, the setting, the ambiance, but above all, the delightful
simplicity behind it all. When I told some of my friends and family that I was
traveling to Basata, many didn’t know what I was talking about. Therefore, it
pushed me to write its story and hopefully reveal its simple beauty to those
who haven’t discovered it yet.
