Maha ElNabawi

After graduating from the American University in Washington, DC with a Bachelors degree in Business, Maha began her publishing career in NYC with indie pop culture magazines, the likes of Tokion, Inked, and Surface. Upon returning to Egypt, and driven by a vehemence for arts and music, she began vigilantly documenting the alternative cultural landscape, with much of her written work published in The Guardian UK, Spex, Playboy, The African Report, Community Times, and Daily News Egypt. At Mada Masr, she performs a hybrid role between business development and culture writing.

Maha is currently co-writing her first collective book as part of the Goethe Institute project, titled Ten Cities, a sociological and cultural study through the lens of dance music and club culture.
