Karim Soliman earned his first writing commission through his contribution to the first and last issue of his school magazine. Twenty years later, he earned his next commission from Sony Pictures.

While he holds a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy and a master’s in business administration, Karim finds his groove in building worlds and messing with his characters.

رواية مكتوبة بلغة جميلة، وواضح جدا المجهود الجبار الذى بذل فى البحث.. الحصيلة كانت رحلة ممتعة عبر الزمان والمكان إلى واحة سيوة فى أوائل القرن العشرين.. استمتعت جدا بقرائتها، خصوصا النصف الثانى مع تسارع الأحداث.. نهاية كما تقول الأسطورة :)
