At the end of a sandy track in the shadow of some of Egypt's lesser-known pyramids, Osama bin Laden's son Omar broke the Ramadan fast on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the name of world peace.
Here, in the desert a few miles (kilometres) outside of Cairo, is where Saudi-born Osama's fourth son Omar, 27, and his English wife Zaina have decided to set up a desert farm, a halfway point between their respective homelands.
But having invited a Bedouin tent-full of guests to join their sunset "iftar," Zaina, 52, confesses they hadn't realised the date was September 11 -- seven years since the 2001 attacks on the US, claimed by her father-in-law.
