The first time I’d come to Dahab, I had no idea it would become my second home. I had fallen in love with its simplicity: the soft calls of the evening prayers, the golden desert meeting the turquoise sea, and the slow rhythm of life that seemed to echo my own inner need for stillness.

It was here that I had painted my first piece for the hotel three years ago. The owner, a kind soul with a passion for supporting artists, had invited me back to continue the work. And I was happy to be back in Dahab to make art for Nour boutique hotel.
