The bay mare MZ-Djamira was bred by Margot Zinniker of MZ Arabians in Switzerland. Born in 2006, MZ-Djamira was sired by Shaklan Ibn Bengali.
Shaklan Ibn Bengali (1997–2013), a bay stallion, was sired by FS Bengali, a son World Champion Stallion Kubinec, carrying the Bairactar db sire line. Shaklan's dam, LM Sanduga was by Spanish bred stallion El Perfecto and traced to the Venus db dam line through the Bint Rustem branch, representing the Hadban Enzahi strain. This blend of Russian and Spanish-Egyptian heritage combined substance with classic type, producing a horse of notable presence. Shaklan Ibn Bengali earned titles as Swiss National Reserve Champion Colt (1998) and Stallion (2004), reflecting the quality of his distinguished pedigree.
World Champion Kubinec also appeared on MZ-Djamira's dam-line, as her dam WA Djambala was sired by Kapitol, a Kubinec son. WA Djambala's Straight Russian dam Djubnavala was bred at Tersk Stud and was sired by Karnaval—also the sire of the 2007 Dutch National Reserve Champion Mare Verkarna—and out of Dulcinea. Djubnavala was Reserve Senior Champion Mare at the 2000 Championat d’Alsace.
In 2008, MZ-Djamira earned the title of Reserve Junior Champion Filly at the Casino Cup in Baden. She later produced a single registered offspring, MZ-Djilshada, a bay daughter by multi-halter champion QR Marc (by Marwan Al Shaqab). Through MZ-Djilshada, MZ-Djamira’s influence continues in both the show ring and the breeding program of Emaj Arabians in Switzerland. Concluding her broodmare career while standing at Nylemat Arabians, Switzerland, MZ-Djamira transitioned to a new role as a riding horse.
