The Arabian horse is one of the most sought-after breeds of horses in the world. It boasts purity of blood, grace, beauty, endurance and loyalty to its master. I photographed this black Arabian stallion in an Arabian horse farm in Cairo, Egypt. In him, I saw all the qualities I read about in the tales narrated by the Bedouins of Arabia, the people who bred the Arabian breed. He gave me all the poses I asked for including this final graceful stand which he chose to end the photoshoot with.

I am a published researcher, photographer, writer and content creator. My work is dedicated to horses and equitation in Egypt, past and present.
