The Algerian content creator, who was featured on Forbes Middle East’s 30 Under 30 list last year, has traveled to over 54 countries since beginning his career in 2017. This recognition highlights his exceptional talent and growing influence in the world of digital tourism, as his passion for travel led him to focus on creating tourism-related content.

He was also selected as a "Leader of Tomorrow" at the St. Gallen Symposium in Switzerland (2023) and won the "Best Tourism Content Creator Award" on Facebook from the Arab Union for Tourist Media in 2023.
