Timeless Tales Watch on YouTube

Hi, I'm the one behind the hat.

I make illustrated history stories, videos and useful guides. Timeless Tales is the home I am building for all of that work—and for what I learn next.

The little general studies a map beside a train at sunset.
A little journey, one story at a time.

Where this started

I wanted to build something of my own: a name, a set of stories and a place people could recognise as mine.

I began on YouTube, telling history the way I like to hear it. Why borders look the way they do, how empires fell apart, and the parts the schoolbooks skip. Napoleon started as a doodle and ended up hosting the whole thing.

Now I am bringing the process here too: illustrations, videos, and experiments as I learn more about designing for the web. The site itself is part of that journey.

I also write about the things I buy and use: what they do well, what annoys me, and what they cost in dirhams. I want every recommendation to be useful even if nobody buys through my link.

How I write these guides

Four rules, so you know exactly how much to trust each page.

  1. I pay for my own things. The Kindle Paperwhite and the Sport X20 in the guides are mine, bought with my own money. No brand pays to be in a guide.
  2. I separate what I own from what I researched. When I have used something, you get months of real notes. When I have not, I say so, and stick to specs, prices and what the ratings say.
  3. I write the bad parts too. My Kindle runs out of storage. My earbuds make my voice sound distant on calls. If a page has nothing negative in it, it is an advert, not a guide.
  4. Prices are real and dated. Every guide says which day I checked Amazon.ae. Prices move, so the date matters as much as the number.

How I make money

Affiliate commission, never payment for placement.

Some links here are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the shop pays me a small commission and you pay exactly the same price. I pick what goes in a guide before any link is added, and no brand has ever paid me to be included. One connection you should know about: my brother works at Ecovacs, whose robots I recommend and whose discount code I share. Read the full disclosure.
