Amir Matouk

With roots in Italy and Egypt, Amir found his love for the ocean and nature through his dad. Since he was a child he was fascinated by things that live in water. At the age of 10 he got his first aquarium as a present and at 15 he started his first coral reef tank. His studies in Milan led to him becoming a laboratory technician in chemistry and biology. His interest in corals rapidly turned into passion and a true love that brought Amir to work and lead a coral farm in Indonesia, manage husbandry systems in Australia, and most recently built public aquariums and residential reef tanks in Dubai. Amir is also passionate about diving, water sports like kitesurfing, reptile terrariums, and cooking.
