Jehad Hattab, better known as Joe Hattab, is a Jordanian-born documentary filmmaker best known for producing and creating cinematic films on his YouTube channel Joe Hattab.

Early life and education
Hattab was born in Jordan and raised in Saudi Arabia.[4]. He is known for his travel adventures around the world and dedication to his work; however, his personal journey is lesser known. With Anas, he talks about his time in self-isolation and how crucial that time was in forming his character today. [5]
Career
YouTube
In 2016, Joe Hattab started his YouTube channel [6] with his first video being about the fear of ‘public speaking’ and the second being ‘quitting my job.’ The first year proved difficult with only 1000 subscribers, and this was due to Joe experimenting with the platform and social media as a whole. In the first two years, while Joe was trying to find his niche, his videos were predominantly based around travelling, showing his life in unique destinations, how to travel on a budget, challenges, and travelling tips until 2018 when he began his short documentaries and strict vlogging style.
Joe’s subscriber count on YouTube did exceedingly well, his channel reached millions of daily views, with the growth of YouTube doing exceedingly well. “We are seeing a young generation of people in Saudi that are so creative, ambitious, and they are really good at everything they do. They work like a family supporting each other, which is what our Arab countries need the most,” says Joe in an interview with Esquire Middle East[7]
He is a distinguished filmmaking activist on social media, researching and filming outstanding stories, as well as highlighting parts of the world.[8] Arab News interviews popular vlogger Joe Hattab when he visited Pakistan and discovered a local specialty. [9]
