“My father rode a camel, I shall ride a pick-up
and my son will drive a Cadillac; however my grandson will drive a donkey.”
We hope you enjoy taking a look around our website and learning a little more about Bedouin life and culture.
To give you some history behind The Bedouin Way, Mondi and Sofian have been friends for a very long time. We both live in Dahab, although Mondi from El-Tor (the capital of South Sinai) and Sofian is from the North of Sinai. We have worked together for many years on safaris and trips, so only a few weeks ago we decided it would be a good idea to do something on our own to promote Bedouin culture and help to educate the people who might be interested.
Our friends all know we can cook. So our main business is preparing Bedouin dinners in the mountains every Saturday (or other days and locations if requested). On these evenings, we not only want our guests to enjoy our food, but our aim is also to allow you to enjoy a genuine Bedouin experience that's served from the heart. We want you to ask us questions about Bedouin life so that you can paint a clearer picture of where we are from and what being Bedouin actually means.
We may be based in South Sinai, but in many ways the Bedouin Way is the same across the Middle East.
So this journal or blog will sometimes be longer but occasionally it may just have a photograph and a caption. Through writing here, plus updating our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles regularly with anything that comes to mind, we hope that day by day you learn a little more about The Bedouin Way.
We will leave you with words by our good friend Ly Layla:
"Then
Time comes
To count the blessings
All stars and smiles
And end your day
In Bedouin way."
Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you soon.
Mondi and Sofian.
