ABOUT ALBADEIA

TUCKED IN THE HEART OF GIZA BENEATH THE SHADOW OF THE GREAT PYRAMIDS, ALBADEIA STUD CONTINUES TO BE A BEACON FOR STRAIGHT EGYPTIAN ARABIANS. THE HORSES ECHO THE HALLMARKS OF THE FORBEARERS; BOASTING BUILD, POWER, ELEGANCE AND CHARM IN EQUAL AND AMPLE MEASURE. 

IN THE BEGINNING

ALBADEIA'S STORY BEGINS IN THE EARLY 1930'S WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STUD BY MR. AHMED MAREI AND THE PURCHASE OF TWO HORSES FROM THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL STUD (RAS, NOW THE EAO). FROM THERE, THE BREEDING PROGRAM BEGAN TO TAKE SHAPE UNDER SAYED MAREI, AHMED'S SON, THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE ALBADEIA STUD CONTINUED TO SOLIDIFY INTO THE 1960'S AND 70'S.

FROM GIZA TO THE WORLD

ALBADEIA CONTINUED TO FLOURISH WHEN IT PASSED FROM SAYED MAREI TO HIS SONS, NASR AND HASSAN. THEIR VISION, CARE AND GUIDANCE PUSHED THE PROGRAM TO NEW HEIGHTS, CULMINATING IN THE FARM'S CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT; GELGELAH ALBADEIA WINNING THE SENIOR MARE CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE 2003 WORLD CUP.

A LIVING LEGACY

TODAY THE HORSES OF ALBADEIA STAND AS A SIGNATURE AND TRIBUTE TO DR. NASR AFTER HIS PASSING, WHILE THE PROGRAM CONTINUES TO EVOLVE AND THRIVE. SHERIF MAREI, DR. NASR'S NEPHEW, PRIORITIZES THE HORSES, HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF THE FARM; ENSURING THAT THE LEGACIES OF DR. NASR AND ALBADEIA ARE SAFEGUARDED AND PRESERVED FOR THE FUTURE.
