A Polish reporter, for whom Alexandria has become a home, discovers a secret, non-tourist Egypt from the inside. At the same time, the author deftly dissects Egyptian reality, exposing the painful, contradictory, but also beautiful. Salafists and secularists, Copts and Sufis, professors, feminists and rebellious teenagers — how do they think, what beliefs do they defend? From frank conversations with the characters and his own experience, Peter Ibrahim makes a colorful mosaic of the Egyptian present. Piotr Ibrahim Kalvas is a Polish reporter, novelist, and screenwriter. Born in 1963 in Warsaw. At the age of 37, he converted to Islam and soon moved to Egypt. After the publication of the critical book "Egypt: Haram, halal", he lives with his family in Malta.
