When Tatyana was just 15, she went to Egypt and was captivated by its culture, especially the nomadic way of life.

She formed a friendship with a Bedouin named Abu, even going on a date and developing warm feelings for him. Unfortunately, she had to return to Ukraine the next day.

In Kyiv, Tanya took Arabic language courses and pursued Arabic philology at university.

Surprisingly, her connection with Abu endured through correspondence, eventually leading to a wedding during her next visit to Egypt.

Despite initial doubts from Tatyana’s mother, Abu and Tanya have been legally married for over 15 years, raising four sons.

They frequently visit Ukraine, and Tatyana expresses contentment and true happiness with her chosen life.
