Ebtisam Nasser Ibrahim AlHouti, a Kuwaiti artist fond of photography, was born in 1958 in Kuwait. She studied and graduated from Kuwait University in 1984, obtaining a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the Faculty of Arts. She has held many positions, the most important of which is: Senior Psychologist in the Psychological Counseling Unit at the Faculty of Education, Kuwait University, since 1995.

Ebtisam AlHouti’s passion for photography began in the Republic of Benin in 2011, where she felt enriched by the country’s stunning nature with its magnificent colors clearly reflected in the behaviors and the morals of the population. Thus, the artist Ebtisam developed her photographic skills to cope with that nature and draw from its beauty.

During Ebtisam’s stay in the Republic of Albania with her husband, the Ambassador of the State of Kuwait, she held her first photographic exhibition (2019) and released her first photographic book. Through a selected group of photos, she highlighted her experience with the Albanian people, reflecting the beauty of Albanian hospitality.

His Majesty, President Ilir Meta, expressed his gratitude for the creative attempts of the artist, Ebtisam, to foster the fraternal relations between the Albanian and Kuwaiti people. His Majesty approved the aforementioned photographic book as the first tourist guidebook for humanitarian values and fascinating scenery in Albania, which shows the wonderful potential of Albania in the field of tourism. Since then, the artist has promoted the guidebook globally, highlighting the most important characteristics and values of the Albanian people, namely hospitality. This guidebook became the first Kuwaiti book of its kind for tourism in the Republic of Albania.
