Yemameh/Yamama (same spelling in Arabic, different pronunciation depending on whether it’s pronounced in Egpytian Arabic or Classical Arabic) was from the breeding of Ali Pasha Sharif and went to the Khedive Abbas Hilmi II in his Qoubbeh/Koubbah stables. (Edouard Al Dahdah) Wilfrid Blunt entered the following entry in his diary: “11th Jan. [1896] — Took Anne and Judith to Koubbah to see the Khedive. He received us with great empressement… and showed us his stud. He has got together some nice mares, but nothing quire first class, except two of Ali Pasha Sherif’s, one of which is our horse Mesaoud’s dam, a very splendid mare, with the finest head in the world. He has bred some promising colts and altogether the thing is well done.”
