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

beautifully illustrated.
Horse carriages were something that I was also very surprised when went for first time in Eastern Europe, but I see they are an often occurence in Egypt too:)Maryanne, did you try riding on some of them?:)
When I was living in Alexandria in the 80's the horse carriages were our favourite way of going around Alex with visitors to see things. In Cairo they are there in Zamalek and Garden City for tourists and nostalgic Egyptians and they do have horse carriages in Giza and Sakkara. They can be a lovely way to travel if you get a decent driver who takes care of his horse. We have a donkey wagon and I'd like to get a small driving cart for the donkeys as well. Much nicer than cars...unless you have to go into the city in the summer.
