We have been invited on the 24th of September to attend the Sharjah festival for arab photo. I did not know that we were 3 Egyptians travelling to the Emirates until the night before.
I was very happy to know that Kareem Nabile -my old friend- is coming with us, and Mohamed Hossam who works as a photojournalist for ElMasry ElYoum newspaper. On the day of the flight, I found out that Mr.Galal ElMessary is coming with as a member in the arab photographers union.
We flied to Dubai airport then moved to sharjah and stayed in a hotel there. The day after, we woke up very early and went to the American University of Sharjah to attend the ceremony and the exhibition there. The univeristy is very impressing, great islamic architecture with large green areas, but the weather stops you from enjoying these great areas, we entered the theatre and waited for Sheikh Sultan Al Qassimi, Ruler of Sharjah to start the ceremony and awards announcing. We were astonished to know that egypt won 5 awards out of the 12 awards in the competition which made it the top winning country.

I won the Golden award in the category "Life in the City", Mohamed Hossam won 2 Silver awards, one in the Book category and the other in "Life in the City" category, Kareem won the Bronze award in the same category. I was so happy with the award model of "Camera Obscura", it has a lens and glass plate to see the real reversed image photo on it.
We stayed two more days and went back to Cairo.
