About Me
- Maryanne Stroud Gabbani
- Abu Sir, Giza, Egypt
- I came to Egypt as the wife of an Egyptian/Canadian businessman and the mother of our children in the late 80's. My husband is no longer with us, the children are pursuing careers abroad, but Egypt is still my home, albeit, a rural rather than urban one. You can reach me at msgabbani at gmail.com

Do you suppose the man in white is smiling because he's taken his shoes off?
Every village should have village elders. They look happy to be photographed by you. Did they approve of President Obama's speech?
Maryanne, did you welcome him to the Giza pyramids? :)
That would have been fun but quite impossible. The security for this visit has been totally insane. As it was, I had my American niece and four high school students arriving very late on Wed night and everyone was brain dead from almost 48 hours of travel from California to Egypt.
Wonderful village elder portrait! Looks like a National Geographic front cover! Regards from EAGAN daily photo in friendly Minnesota
You captured amazing moment in amazing place! Mabruk!!!
Yeah, probably like our super-security for the Pope's visit.
48 hours?? Did your niece come via China?? Have fun.
