He then traveled on a mission to Egypt at the expense of the ministry in 1956 to learn the art of printmaking, and in 1961 he traveled on a mission to Germany to complete his studies in the printmaking arts.[2] He continued this job until he reached the position of observer in the Printing Section of the Ministry of Information.[1] He married four wives[3] and has three daughters and two sons, among them Bashar and Adnan, who works in the technical field and has attempted to write poetry and the preparation of TV programs,[2] as well as Mona, Bebe, and Manal. He was a Shia Muslim.
