“I Was 16 Years Old In This Photo, Which Was Taken At The Van Leo Studio In Emad Eddin St. I'm The Eldest Among My Siblings, but I Got Married Young. Back Then, There Was No Such Thing As Falling In Love. I Got Engaged Twice My First Fiance Passed Away. Throughout My Marriage, My Husband And I Lived In Zamalek. We Never Had Kids, So When He Passed Away, I Stayed In This Floating House On My Own.

I Have Several Animal Companions; A Cat Called Boussey, A Dog Called Lola, Goose, And I Have Birds. I Never Feel Lonely With Them Around. The Floating House Is Warm In Winter And The Temperature Is Nice In Summer; It's Not Like What People Think.”
