Mr. Mohamed Fayed

I was born in Lebanon, a country of beauty, where I spent my early
childhood and teenage years. I attended Central Schools in the
beautiful coastal city of Jounieh until I completed my secondary
education. Then, I returned to Egypt and enrolled at Mansoura
University, where I joined the Faculty of Arts and Education,
specializing in French Language. I graduated with honors in 1998,
ranking among the top students in my class.
I began my professional career as a French teacher for
secondary school students while also pursuing a Master’s degree
in French Language, specializing in the history of the language,
which I successfully obtained in 2002. Later, I worked as a
translator for business correspondence at a furniture factory in
Damietta.
Seeking new experiences, I decided to move to Saudi Arabia,
where I worked as a teacher in an international school in
Jeddah for five years. After returning to Egypt, I ventured into
business, a field I had always been passionate about. I engaged
in furniture export from Egypt to various African countries,
which allowed me to travel extensively across the African
continent and explore different cultures and traditions. I visited
and conducted business in Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Côte
d'Ivoire, Cameroon, and South Africa, among others. Later, I
expanded my business to Ukraine and Russia.
After some time, I returned to Egypt briefly before relocating to
Qatar, where I worked at Cambridge Academy of Languages.
Later, I moved to the United Kingdom as an accompanying
tutor for a Qatari prince, which provided me with the opportunity
to travel across many European countries and immerse myself in
different cultures. During this period, I visited France, Italy,
Hungary, Switzerland, and Spain.
Eventually, I returned to my beloved Egypt and took on the role of
Head of the French Department at Damietta International
Schools, where I supervised a distinguished team of highly
qualified French teachers. During my journey, I interacted with
various cultures and acquired numerous linguistic skills in French.
I can confidently say that I have reached a level of proficiency that
is close to that of native speakers.
And that is where my journey led me to meet all of you today
