Hi, I'm Caesar Abumariam! 👋 Born and raised in Ramallah, I’m a local guide, artist, content creator, and the proud founder of Ramallah Unlocked—an initiative dedicated to rebranding Ramallah as a must-visit destination by showcasing its rich culture, history, and hidden gems. With a deep love for my hometown, I’ve made it my mission to introduce visitors to the real spirit of Ramallah—through stories, sights, and unforgettable local experiences. I studied right here in Ramallah before earning a scholarship to study dance in Rome, and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Innovation of Culture and Art in Bologna, Italy. Along the way, I’ve traveled to over 30 countries, volunteered in cities around the world, and connected with people through art, movement, and culture. I’ve been a dance teacher for kids for more than 10 years, served as the Ramallah Dance Festival coordinator, and now lead my own tourism initiative as CEO of Ramallah Unlocked. Whether I’m dancing, guiding, or storytelling, I bring energy, authenticity, and passion to everything I do. I speak English, Arabic, some French, and Italian—and I love using those languages to connect with travelers from all over the globe. 🌍 I can’t wait to meet you and show you the magic of Ramallah—its food, its people, its art, and everything in between. Let’s make your visit unforgettable! 💃🕺✨
