Runaway Amy the teen bride – and her new life with Egypt's dancing horses

The teenage schoolgirl who ran away to Egypt and married an internet cafe owner there is planning a new life – hiring out dancing horses to tourists at the Pyramids.

Amy Robson has persuaded her 30-year-old husband Mohamed El Sayed to buy two pure Arabian horses, which she hopes will earn them a living in the desert near Cairo.
The 18-year-old is training the animals to "dance" so they can become a tourist attraction.
It is a world away from her old life in Beaumont, Cumbria, where she lived with her parents and was considering a future working in a nursery.
Amy persuaded Mohamed – nicknamed Noby – to buy the animals after becoming enchanted with the Egyptian tradition of horses appearing to "dance" by moving in time to Arabic music.
Giggling excitedly, she said: "I love the horses – they're amazing. I've loved horses since I was little.
"I told Noby I wanted one and he bought me two from one of his friends. One is older and we're training it to behave properly so we can sell it on for more money, or hire it out.
"The little one is going to take tourists to the Pyramids in a few months' time when it's old enough. She is gorgeous."
Noby added: "I did not want Amy to work because I do not believe work is for women but I don't want her to be sad. If she enjoys being with the horses, that is good."
Amy married Noby in December after meeting him in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada last April. She had run away from home in search of another local man with whom she had become smitten on a family holiday the year before, boatman Tamer Hossney.
Since their wedding the couple have lived at the El Sayed family home in Banha, 18 miles from Cairo, with Mohamed's parents and brother.
They pay the owner of a stable close to the Pyramids to look after their horses and Amy travels to Cairo with Noby a few times a week to work with them.Noby has rented a shop and intends to fix old computers and sell them.
But once they begin hiring out the horses, the couple hope they may turn the venture into a full-time job for both of them. That would enable them to move out of Noby's parents' small home, where they lack privacy, and rent a flat.
Despite the worries of her parents, James, 42, and Janet, 33, Amy says she is enjoying every moment of married life.
"I'm really happy. I'm getting a bit better at Arabic now and Noby is getting a bit better at English, so it's easier for us to talk," she said.
"His family have been really kind to me and looked after me so well. His mum is teaching me how to cook Egyptian dishes – at first I hated the food but I'm used to it now. Noby and I are still very much in love – more than ever."
Asked if she was planning children, she laughed and said: "Not yet. In the future. I am just enjoying being with Noby."
