We do a fair bit of work with schools and scouting. A wagon ride is a real treat for the kids. Most kids in Cairo live in apartments.

George, our master donkey, is pretty willing to let visitors drive.

I raise goats as well. I've bought some good imported goats to boost the local quality for the farmers. But mostly the babies are just dead cute and love being cuddled.

When we have tourists in Egypt, we offer riding trips in the desert and countryside. These are our neighbourhood pyramids, the pyramids of Abu Sir, and the desert that is just across the road from me.

You never know who you are going to run into on a country trail in Egypt. These camels are going out to the fields to carry back cut palm fronds to the village where they will use them to make furniture and boxes, ropes and baskets.

I often assist photographers, in this case a US based guy who films and shoots bodybuilders in Egypt. They sometimes use horses, but this time it was camels.

Our countryside is incredibly green and crisscrossed with canals. In the distance you see the pyramids of Abu Sir.
