I have special memories there as an artist; I held a concert with the Cairo Opera Company. As for my childhood memories, I accompanied my father, visual artist Ahmed Fouad Selim, when he held his exhibition in the eighties, along with my mother who held artistic activities there. Additionally, we stayed in Roma for a year. I’ll never forget the energy of the place, its artistic value, surroundings, and the famous gardens of Villa Borghese.
