He's been on the radio in all corners of the world, and we've finally brought him over to the land of the Nile. Meet Rob Stevens!

Rob grew up between the UK and Al Ain, in the UAE. He has loved music from an early age. Because he can’t sing, or dance, he chose to play the songs on the radio…. When he’s not at the Nile FM studio’s, he’s usually eating somewhere or at the gym making up for the fact that he was eating somewhere. He used to have so many hobbies, but these days sleeping is a big friend of his! His star sign is Virgo. Fun fact: It took him 25 years to grow a beard.

 

Rob, do you speak any other languages?

Yes I do, I randomly make up words that have no meaning, so I guess you could call that a language! I learned French and German at school. I can only remember the basic’s now. But I can claim to speak some, but not a lot of Arabic

 

What advice would you give your 15 year old self?

SAVE MONEY, and stop eating as much!

 

What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?

I once ate an After 8 mint, at 7.30

 

If you were to spend your lifetime advocating a cause, what would it be?

That everyone is entitled to an opinion, you can educate people but not force your views on them. Everyone has a mind and a value. Respect should be universal.

 

What is your worst habit?

Putting things off, and then planning to never do that again. But that can wait until tomorrow

 

What are three things you cannot live without?

Music, food, money.

 

What superpower do you wish your pet had?

I have a Labrador. She is yellow and called Snoop Dawg. But she already has a super power. She has super stealth mode. When she thinks I'm sleeping she will activate stealth mode in order to sneak up on the end of the bed and sleep… She usually does it without me noticing.

 

What is the most embarrassing Halloween outfit you’ve ever worn? (Bonus points if you have a photo you’re willing to share!)

I honestly am so bad a dressing up, so rarely do it. The worst was when I was a “zombie” FBI agent. Only because I have the jacket. #Rubbish

 

Favorite musician of all time?

That’s a hard one, I don’t really have one favourite artist, usually it’s the songs that I associate with memories. However, after what happened with Arianna Grande and her concert in Manchester, going back and throwing a benefit concert for those affected took some guts, and I have nothing but respect for her

 

Favorite TV show of all time?

I love the old 80’s and 90’s shows, like The A Team, Airwolf and Knight Rider. But recently its between “How I met your mother”  or “My Name is Earl”.

 

Favorite Egyptian food?

I’ll let you know when I have finished all the different types…. Next on my list is Hamam!

 

Craziest thing you’ve ever seen in Cairo?

Six people on one motorcycle, people doing a U-turn on the slip road of the ring road, the wrong way.

 

Name one thing in Egypt you wish you could take back with you to England.

The weather, but wait….. “take back to England with me?? Are you hinting at something?

 

What’s something from England that you think would fit perfectly well in Egypt?

Fast internet!

 

What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you when you were on-air?

Honestly, I have been blessed with working at some great stations over the years and so much crazy funny stuff has happened but the one thing that sticks out is when interviewing the manager of a football team. I asked when will they go back to the first division….  Apparently I should have said premiership. I still don’t know anything about football.
