unfortunately I don’t know any fixer here, I’ve used only Indian ones for few stories but never Arabic speaking ones. But I know the city pretty well, if you need some help or advices feel free to ask.

Luzma if you are still on the lookout let me know I know a few people there and might be able to arrange something for you.

Hey Luzma,
I might have someone there for you. He is not a pro but he can be a good translator English/Arabic. Let me know.
