Biography
Khoubai was born in Constantine, Algeria. Although he studied economics at the University of Constantine, Khoubai did not wish to work in that field. Instead, his passion for travel led him to focus on creating tourism-related content.
In 2019, Khoubai was invited to participate in the second edition of the Sadeem program, a competition show among different content creators aimed at guiding them and selecting the best among them.
In 2021, a social media campaign was launched to support Khoubai and boost his number of subscribers, aiming to surpass the one-million mark on Instagram. In just 36 hours, his subscribers jumped from 387,000 to 943,000, and the following day, he successfully reached one million. Algerian Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Start-ups, and Micro-enterprises, Yacine Oualid, participated in the campaign by posting a message on social media.
During the 2021 Arab Cup, his videos gained attention, to the extent that he was received by a member of parliament for a collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism.
