Our story

One hundred years of soil and family.

In 1926, Engineer Mahmoud Khalil faced a sandy mountain outside Giza. Armed with a Decauville rail, a herd of bulls, and relentless vision, he turned 150 feddans of desert into a living farm. Three generations later, that land is still green — and it's open to you.

The original crown of the farm, replanted across a century.
