Following this he was Champion Stallion at the Towerlands International Show and then Champion Stallion at the 24th All Nations Cup in Aachen. The year's finale was Al Lahab becoming the unanimous choice of the judges as World Champion Stallion in Paris.

We are proud and happy to welcome a newcomer to our breeding program: Nader Al Jamal [formerly TS Atlanta], sired by Ansata Sinan; considered one of the most exceptional straight Egyptian stallions of the era. Sinan Himself is a multi-champion and sire and grandsire of international champions worldwide, he is by Prince Fa Moniet and out of Ansata Nefara. Judi Forbis described Nefara as "one of Ansata's most beautiful, charasmatic and elegant Halim Shah daughters".
Nader's tail female line traces to one of Alaa El Din's most successful daughters - the great Magidaa, who is Abayyan Om Jurrays in strain and traces back to an original foundation mare gifted to Egypt by King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia in the early 1930's.
Magidaa was one of the premier Egyptian broodmares of all time; producing three US National Champions as well as several other Class A Champions. Magidaa's contribution to Egyptian breeding through her outstanding progeny is almost beyond measure.
We wish to thank Joseph Polo for his help in arranging our lease of Nader Al Jamal.

We are proud to announce that our stallion Al Maraam has been chosen by Poland's leading Stud, Michalow, to cover mares during the 2006 breeding season. Al Maraam has been the leading sire at both our local Israeli shows and our National Championship Show for the past several years. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see what this proven young sire can contribute to one of the world's finest breeding programs.
Al Maraam will stand in Poland until the end of May 2006, and is the second Straight Egyptian stallion ever to be used by Michalow Stud. The first Straight Egyptian that Michalow employed was Al Maraam's stablemate [and half-brother] Laheeb, whose Polish foals are scoring success after success at European shows. We are extremely pleased and grateful that the Michalow Stud has once again chosen to use on one of our homebred stallions on their precious mares.
We wish Michalow Stud and Stud Director, Mr. Jerzy Bialobok wonderful success with Al Maraam.
