It was about Sara An Australian  young woman; with  an Egyptian father ,she has never seen Egypt, and trying to explore the real of it through Zeina's eyes , so she lived with me for 2 weeks and tried to be really involved in the Egyptian society and in the same time I showed her Around Cairo  . it was really a great experience and I learned really a lot from it.

However it wasn't my first experience  infron of the camera, but it was very special ,and  made me explore my talent.

You might ask why me? Or how did December film find me?

Simply they were looking for a tour guide,  a young Egyptian woman age ( 25-31) , charming , honest ,welcoming , can be a good host , above all have the courage to be herself , After many interviews  and recommendation ( I have to admit it , Mr. Alaa Khalife introduced  me to them  )  and I made it , and I'm very prude of it you can find out more about the film in these links

Sara stayed with me in my family house , living with us , eating the same food , cooking ,sightseeing, going to the mosque in the proper dress just like us ,  chilling out with my friends smoking shisha , and finally dancing like us  , but belly dancing is running in our blood here , so we needed an assistant , that was Fofa the great belly dancing instructor , who showed Sara that belly dancing is an art ,not vulgar strip, or showing off body like what you see in night clubs ,

Also to get involved in the Egyptian society, you have to help the poor girls in the hope village , street kids need some help , needed to be treated as a human and that's we did , we went and visit them , played with them and even travel to the sea side with them ,

Lots and lots of conversation between Sara and I, as she wanted to explore the full image of here possible life, if her father didn't go to Australia,

The story in the end of the world (Australia ) is very emotional with a father like Sara's father who formed the blot ……

I wish if I could upload the film to my web site , but it's impossible because of the copyright, so I can lend you my copy if you want to watch the movie, or you can buy it from December film
