Khaled Diab is a journalist and writer who works in the Belgian and EU capital Brussels and lives in the scenic university town of Ghent. He writes a regular column for The Guardian and also freelances with other publications. For his day job, he works, in that Ancient Egyptian tradition, as a scribe for a Brussels-based media company.
He lives with his beautiful and brilliant wife, Katleen, who is working hard to rid the world of nasty weapons. Katleen and Khaled were overjoyed at the recent arrival of their newborn son, Iskander, who has taken over his parents' world and filled their lives with wonder, all-night partying, nappies, as he embarks on his voyage of discovery to crack the meaning of life. They also lives with an attractive blonde, Kuku – the blue-eyed Siamese cat.
Egyptian by birth, Khaled has spent half his life in the Middle East and the other half in Europe. He grew up in Egypt and the UK and currently lives in Belgium. He holds dual Egyptian-Belgian nationality.
