Fayez Alkayyali
Biography:
Lizzie filling in for Fayez as Hotel Manager: Producer Lizzie Gillett showing the strain of the intense month filming in Jordan. The filmmakers stayed with the infamously "super friendly" Fayez, in his hotel Saraya, in central Amman. Here, Lizzie donned full Fayez costume and took over his office to run the hotel due to boredom & frustration that nothing with the film seemed to be working out.

I am the "Super Friendly" manager referred to in the Lonely Planet guidebook and make friends with all my guests, playing chess late into the night with anyone who chooses to join me in my office. I have had many peace activists and journalists stay at my hotel.
