We received the sad news late this afternoon that desert guide, Taha, had passed away a few hours earlier.
With his warm personality and sly sense of humor, Taha brought great fun to any gathering. Truly a man of the people as well as a man of the desert, no matter where he stopped to visit, people magically appeared to greet him and begin a conversation.
His grilled chicken dinners in the desert are on the "highlights of Egypt" list for many a visitor.
He is dearly missed by friends and family, as well as those of us who only had the opportunity to share a few days with him.
He was a great cook and a great person.
