The Habibis: Recent Episodes
The Habibis
The Habibis is three game developers drinking some good Arab Tea for what should be about fourty minutes, inshallah, each week, inshallah. Fawzi Mesmar, Osama Dorias, and Rami Ismail discuss games and media and life as Arabs living all around the big world.
Creators & Guests
- Rami Ismail (رامي) - Host
- Osama Dorias - Host
- Fawzi Mesmar (فوزي) - Host
catch up and exchange stories of (busy) lives, travel, games, and to hear Osama get very excited about reading e-mails about Osama.
This time with proper microphones, Osama, Fawzi, and Rami run out of time to discuss all the things they want to talk about this episode.
So, disclaimer: we messed up the recording. We're posting it anyway because the talk is good, but we fully understand if you can't stomach the super-echo.
The three Habibis get back together for a lot of catching up, and everything descends into beautiful chaos.
It's been a while! Osama and Fawzi finally find a gap in their schedules to record a new episode, and it starts off well!
Fawzi, Osama, and Rami are joined by Brosephene in a special episode for Draw4Charity, a livestream marathon for charity happening the weekend of this episode, July 15-17th of 2022! For more information, or to donate, check out https://draw4charity.org/
Rami posted this for the wrong date so it's a few days late. Fawzi & Rami talk about being old and having gadgets!
Gadgets mentioned:
- Switch Dock Dongle
- Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard
- Mango Wireless router

Rami talks about too many gadgets, and Osama ponders what the difference between Dubai & Abu Dhabi is.
