TRIBAL GATHERING

At the invitation of the Makhad Trust who are fighting to restore the oases that are so essential to the Bedouin way of life, we trek through remote valleys to attend a historic meeting of the South Sinai Bedouin Tribes. A meeting we hope will help safeguard their future in the face of the encroaching modern world. A Travel feature for Wanderlust Magazine.
