About Khaled Al Shaibani

Born 1979. Khaled Al Shaibani is an Egyptian poet, writer and novelist.

Khalid Al-Shaybani is an Egyptian poet, novelist, and screenwriter born in December 1979. He studied media at the Faculty of Arts and specialized in journalism and worked in many Egyptian and Arabic newspapers and magazines, and later on he devoted himself to literary and artistic writings.

Member of the Egyptian Writers Union, member of the International Association of Authors, Composers and Publishers in France, and a member of the Egyptian Authors Association. One of his most famous poems is "The Spokesman for Love", which achieved an awakening in classical poetry and brought back followers from all over the Arab world after a long period of hiatus. He has received many local and international awards, mentioned in detail in the Awards and Honors section. He has written many popular commercials and recently directed one of the ads he had written. He wrote the poem "Anwar al-Burdah" in praise and love of Mohammad, following the footsteps of the poem Al-Burdah by Imam Al-Busiri, in which the number of verses in ‘Anwar al-Burdah’ exceeded those of Al-Burdah and Nahj Al-Burda by the prince of poets Ahmed Shawqi. Al-Shaybani committed to the fact that the verses rhymed without repeating a word from the beginning till the end of his poem, which is something that "Shawqi" or "Al-Busiri" did not adhere to in their poems, making his poem the longest and most unique poem in loving Mohammad.

Life Khalid Al-Shaybani was born on the 10th of December 1979 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Egyptian parents who work there, but they soon returned to Cairo and settled in the Egyptian capital where al-Shaybani grew up. His parents ’origins gave him multiple points of view for the Egyptian society. His father is from Upper Egypt from the "Al- Shaybani" family in Sohag, and his mother is from Lower Egypt from the "Munis" family in Mansoura. Khalid lives in the Maadi neighborhood in Cairo, so he developed an image with many dimensions of the Egyptian society in its various directions, and this was driven by his work in journalism and his study of it at an early age. But soon he devoted himself to literary and artistic writings, to show his creativity in poetry, novel, song writing and script. Al-Shaybani is considered the first to combine these four arts of creative writing. Today, He is one of the few who write classic Arabic poetry.
