The non-meat dishes are generally vegan. They provide tea, Nescafe, and water from their very own well. Everything offered is healthy! If you want soft drinks or juice, please bring them yourselves (they are not provided/sold at the farm). -- TIPS-- - The location is about 1 to 2 km south of Sakkara Country Club, which is south of Shabramant between the pyramid complexes of Giza and Abu Sir. Once you get near the entrance to Sakkara Country Club, you can ask anyone where “Madame Maryanne” is. - DOGS: Al Sorat Farm is home to a number of dogs who wander around the farm. They range in age from puppies to ten years or so and in size from medium to very large. They have a Great Dane who is taller than most small children, but very gentle. They are all completely vaccinated, are trained to respond to conversational requests such as “Go away”. They are kind and have all grown up with infants and small children. They are not locked up and are never tied. Balloons are not allowed for the safety of the dogs and other animals and they ask that no one feed the dogs ANYTHING. The house is off-limits to guests and is the dogs’ safe space where they retire to have a nap or get away from visitors. Anyone who is truly afraid of dogs is actively encourage not to come. The farm owners ask that parents instruct children not to scream as this is frightening to all the animals. Pets are not allowed on the farm.
