The Arabian Horse of Egypt by Nasr Marei

The Arabian Horse of Egypt by Nasr Marei

Prized for their stamina and their acclimation to the harsh conditions of the Arabian deserts, the ancestors of the horses that are now recognized as the Egyptian Arabian purebred horse entered Egypt centuries ago, establishing the valuable bloodlines of the breed there. The breeding programs in Egypt therefore became the root source for the finest Arabian horses, attracting passionate enthusiasts from all corners of the world. Artists, poets, and historians have for centuries been inspired by their great beauty and romantic legacy. Nasr Marei is the third-generation owner of a stud farm in Giza, Egypt. His love for and knowledge of the Egyptian Arabian horse, coupled with his sensitive and striking photography, have inspired this visual tribute. His extraordinary photographs, accompanied by text that traces the history and evolution of the Arabian's journey into Egypt, celebrate the lineage of this living treasure of Egyptian heritage.

Nasr Marei was the Egyptian Arabian Horse Breeders Association's co-founder and vice-chairman. The Arabian Horse Breeders Alliance honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. In 2017, he passed away. Cynthia Culbertson graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, specializing in Arabic and Islamic religion. As an Arabian horse historian, she is well-known around the world. HRH Princess Alia Bint Al Hussein of Jordan is a world-renowned Arabian horse breeder, show judge, and director of Jordan's Royal Stables for Arabian Horse Preservation.
