    Sherif is a serious fitness fanatic who loves life, food covered in chocolate and Fifi Abdu. Physically he lives in Alexandria, but he's mentally stuck in Dubai where he dreams to live when he finishes his very hectic compu-communication engineering major. He prefers nick names or dala3, so it's Shiffo, Sherry or anything but Sherif to you.
