A Wave, a Smile, and a City That Loves Him Back…The Story of 3amo Ashraf
On the streets of Alexandria, there’s a man who stands every day, waving at everyone with the purest smile. Some might pause, wondering why, but those who briefly know him will tell you—he’s not a madman, he’s a man full of love. And now, thanks to a viral video shared by Ahmed Selim, the world knows his story.
This man’s name is 3amo Ashraf, a 59-year-old engineer who has quietly become a beloved figure in his community. Unlike most, he has no children of his own, but his heart overflows with love for them.
He adores their innocence, their joy, and the way they see the world without judgment. For him, spending time with children is not just a pastime—it’s what makes him feel alive and loved.
His daily waves aren’t just gestures; they are his way of spreading kindness, of sharing a piece of himself with the world. No matter the weather, no matter the day, his presence is a constant reminder that simple acts of joy can mean everything.
The best part? Alexandria loves him back. Passersby wave at him, greet him with warmth, and appreciate the light he brings to their everyday routines. His positivity has become contagious, a small yet powerful moment of connection in a world that often moves too fast.
What started as a simple daily act has now touched hearts far beyond the streets he stands on. 3amo Ashraf has become a symbol of pure kindness, a man who reminds us that sometimes, all it takes to brighten someone’s day is a smile and a wave.
However, people can’t help but often wonder what happened to him given he’s an engineer? Surely there’s more to the story and we ought to find it out.
