The Harvard Law School graduate was inspired to become a travel writer after the impressive response he received from his Twitter followers each time he tweeted about his travels. Jumah wrote the book Tales of a Saudi in Europe after being inspired by those who followed his journey with him online.

In the book, a collection of 11 stories and anecdotes from nine different European countries, Jumah writes from the perspective of a Saudi trying to relate to entirely different cultures.

“It was all about travelling as a traveller and not as a tourist. It’s a different experience that people should try once in a while, because it gives them a chance to deeply explore the country they are visiting and engage with other cultures in a more meaningful way,” Al Jumah said in an interview with Gulf News last year.

He makes an effort to interact and mingle with locals wherever he travels to, which he says creates a more complete travel experience.

Jumah’s other books are ‘Greats Without Schools’ and ‘Orphans who Changed the Course of History’.
