Basata: Sherif El-Ghamrawy at TEDxAUC

Sherif was born and raised in Cairo where he received an advanced degree in civil engineering. As a student, he often spent summer holidays in Europe for both training and internships. Sherif became a passionate traveller, visiting many countries around the world. What Sherif experienced throughout his travels increased his interest and concern for the environment; this resulted in the foundation of Basata, Egypt's first Ecolodge. Founded in 1986, Basata is a pioneer project in the field of sustainable tourism practices and ecotourism development. Lonely Planet has recently named "Basata" as one of the top ten Ecolodges in the world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
