He is known for building luxury hotels and mansions, predominately in the Bel Air neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills in Los Angeles County, California.
Mohamed Anwar Hadid is a Palestinian born in Nazareth in 1948, the son of Anwar Hadid (1908/09–1979) and his wife Khairiah. Through his mother he claims descent from Daher Al Omer, Prince of Nazareth and the Sheik of Galilee.
His father, Anwar Hadid studied at a Jerusalem teachers' college and attended a university in Syria to study law, before working in land settlement for the British authorities and teaching English at a teachers' college in Mandatory Palestine. In 1948, he moved to Syria and joined the United States Information Agency and the Voice of America. He and his family lived in Damascus, Tunisia, and Greece before moving to Washington D.C., as Anwar had a job at the VOA headquarters there, when Mohamed was 14, and spent the rest of his career there with VOA and USIA as a writer, editor and translator.
