We are a small Egyptian /American family in the country side of Egypt, nearly 13km from the Giza pyramids. Our son is 10yr old and likes to play karate and judo.
We grow seasonal vegetables and mangoes, oranges and dates. We also love animals and have two donkeys, 2 dogs, chickens, 2 goats and 2 ostriches and pigeons. We also grow things like hibiscus and herbs

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love to cook and eat together so this would be a great time to get to know each other. We offer exposure to the Egyptian lifestyle, local traditions, and customs as well as growth in the arabic language and all that Egypt has to offer.
Help
There is always so much work to do on a farm. Some tasks are regular like feeding and caring for the animals, weeding, tree care, planting and watering. We are always developing and changing though so we have new projects all the time-Anything from painting to building animal enclosures, drying excess vegetables of herbs.

We offer a charming and comfortable room overlooking both sides of the farm. You will have your own personal bathroom right down the hall. You will also have access to the kitchen.
We will provide the food/ingredients: Some times we will eat together and sometimes because of our busy schedule we will cook and eat separately. We will make sure you are never hungry.
What else ...
We are about 20 minutes from downtown Cairo and also very close to the pyramids. You can actually see them on a clear day from our roof. There are a number of options and modes of transportation if you want to explore. There are apps like Uber that can pick you up from our front gate and also minibuses and tuk tuks a short walk away. There are so many historical and cultural sites to see around Cairo - from camel markets to castles you will never get bored.
