THE AUTHORS
Prof. Bassem Khafagy & Dr. Nurgül Karahan
Antalya’s Moment is co-authored by Prof. Bassem Khafagy and Dr. Nurgül Karahan, a husband-and-wife duo now based in Antalya, the work blends two distinct but harmonious perspectives, one shaped by global experience, the other rooted in cultural depth.
01 · PROF. BASSEM KHAFAGY
Between continents and cultures
Prof. Bassem Khafagy has lived between continents and cultures, carrying with him a lifelong fascination with cities and the forces that shape them. Now based in Antalya, he writes with both affection and urgency about a place he calls home, and about the responsibility that arises when history arrives at a city’s door.
From the Invitation: a global citizen, shaped by years in Egypt, Europe, America, and many places between.

02 · DR. NURGÜL KARAHAN
Rooted in culture and language
Dr. Nurgül Karahan is an academic and educator whose work is rooted in culture and language. Born and raised in Türkiye and now based in Antalya, she brings a sensitivity to place and memory that shapes her perspective. She reflects on how beauty, identity, and belonging can guide a city as it faces the responsibilities of a defining historical moment hosting COP31.
03 · TOGETHER
Two perspectives, one city
Together, they write from two perspectives: one global, and one rooted in Turkish soil, united by love for a city, and belief in the importance of this moment.
Their first book together, The City Soul, opened the Stories from Antalya series.
