Hi everyone 👋

Thank you for the warm welcome — happy to be here!

My name is Amr, I’m 50 years old, and I’m an Airbnb host based in Egypt.

I manage several listings in Cairo and Hurghada, and I really enjoy the hosting experience and learning from other hosts around the world.

Outside of hosting, I run a data analysis and social media company, manage large economic-focused YouTube channels, and I have a strong interest in technology and AI, especially how it can improve guest experience and operations.

Looking forward to learning, sharing experiences, and connecting with this great community 😊

@Paula Thank you so much for your kind words. I’d be happy to share my experience.

To elevate the guest experience in my apartments in Cairo and Hurghada, I decided to integrate simple AI tools in a creative way.

First, I professionally photographed my apartment. Then, using free AI tools like Nano Banana, I created unique characters for each room. After that, I used Grok to animate these characters and bring them to life. With AI voice generation platforms, I produced short videos with personalized messages.

I created three main videos:

• A welcome video introducing the apartment in a warm and friendly way.

• A house instructions video explaining everything clearly and simply.

• A short post-checkout video saying “We miss you already” and kindly reminding guests that their review is very important to us.

Each video is less than one minute long so I can easily attach them to my automated messages — sent at booking confirmation, during the stay, and after checkout.

This approach added life to the apartment photos and created a stronger emotional connection with guests. It made the experience feel modern, professional, and personalized. Guests felt that they were dealing with someone who truly cares about every detail.

I treat every guest as a unique experience, not just a reservation number. My goal is to make their stay enjoyable from the first message to the moment they leave.

The result? Better communication, stronger engagement, and noticeably improved reviews.

I truly believe AI is not just about automation — it’s about adding personality and creating memorable moments.

Best regards,

Amr
