Mini bio
How it started.
Khoubaib comes from Constantine, Algeria. In his December 2021 interview with An-Nasr, he traced his love of travel to the weekend outings his father planned when he was a child. Trips to Tunisia with friends followed. He later described his creative beginnings as exploring with a backpack and camera, then realising he had stories to share.
Finding an audience.
A March 2019 An-Nasr report introduced him as a participant in Sadeem’s second season who had moved from economics into studying filmmaking. By December 2021, a wave of support from Algerian Facebook pages had helped him reach one million Instagram followers. His films grew into a mix of international adventures and journeys through Algeria.
The films fans follow.
His campervan series takes viewers through European villages and mountain roads, while other films follow Saharan crossings and local traditions in places such as Chad and China. Forbes Middle East included him in its 2023 30 Under 30 list. In 2024, he announced his selection as one of seven global ambassadors for the 1 Billion Followers Summit.
