Tarek is 'Our man at the Pyramids' how organises all our horses and carriage needs at the Giza pyramids. He took over the running of the family stables from his father, like his father before him. He is a laid-back character who speaks very good English and runs a tight ship. He also understands and cares about horses.

Many ex-pats who live in Cairo use Tarek's livery facilities for their own horses and he understands the need for safe, well kept horses. When I make a booking with Tarek he always asks me who is in the group, how good a rider they are, how heavy they are and so on, so when we arrive the right horse is always ready for each rider.

It took me a long time to find Tarek, I went into every stables around the Pyramids to find someone who could provide me with what I wanted. Tarek has taken care of me and my guests now for four years. He's a top bloke and makes the whole pyramid experience a hassle-free, enjoyable experience.
