After graduating with a double major in theater and mass communication from the American University in Cairo, he wrote for the culture section of Al-Ahram Weekly and produced and directed plays on the side. In 2005 Nakhla left the newspaper and worked for two years at the Tarek Nour Communications ad agency, before becoming a Sauvé Scholar at McGill University in 2007.
