Faizal was born and bred in Cape Town and is a huge fan of meeting guests both local and international, and relishes the differences between cultures.
His degree in tourism coupled with his love of photography has allowed him to discover 'gems' within the mother city - off the beaten track.
He is an author specializing in Cape Town’s ancestral heritage and has a passion for Cape Town and its people. His view is that Cape Town is the combination of all cultures found worldwide – a melting pot of history, cultures and nationalities.
