Joris Luyendijk was born on 30 December 1971 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
He lived in Hilversum from the age of five.
Luyendijk studied in Kansas, Amsterdam, and Cairo.
He earned his Master's degree equivalent "doctoraal" degree in Cairo.
His first book Een goede man slaat soms zijn vrouw (1998, A Good Man Sometimes Beats His Wife) is about the Egyptian society from a Western observer's point of view.
He eventually became a news correspondent for various Netherlands-based media organisations in the Middle East for a number of years.
He was based in Egypt, Lebanon, and the Palestinian territories.
He also reported on the Second Gulf War in Iraq.
His book Het zijn net mensen (2006, They're just like people) is a report of his experiences as a news correspondent in the Middle East, and quickly became a bestseller in the Netherlands.

In People Like Us, Luyendijk tells the story of his five years as a correspondent in the Middle East.
He chronicles first-hand experiences of dictatorship, occupation, terror, and war.
His stories cast light on a number of major crises, from the Iraq War to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, along with less-reported issues such as underage orphan trash-collectors in Cairo.
The more he witnessed, the less he understood, and he became increasingly aware of the yawning gap between what he saw on the ground and what was later reported in the media.
