Belal Hassan

Belal Hassan is the founder and publisher of Best Travel Tale.

He works in the tourism industry on Egypt's Red Sea coast, where his companies arrange airport transfers, island boat trips and excursions for travelers from Europe and beyond. That daily contact with visitors – what they ask before they book, what surprises them on arrival and what makes a trip memorable – shapes the practical focus of Best Travel Tale.

Belal oversees the publication's direction and works with our editors and correspondents to make sure every guide is genuinely useful.
