VISION

To establish the Saint Katherine Protectorate as one of the world’ great mountain protectorates through the conservation and sustainable development of its natural and cultural resources and thereby ensure long-term local and national benefits for the people of Egypt.

We aim to actively preserve South Sinai’s unique cultural and natural heritage by promoting and operating locally led responsible tourism. We – as native Bedouin tribesmen and owners of this initiative -- understand that the tradition and knowledge of our forefathers is best maintained by sharing it with other conscientious travelers. We are creating a self-sustainable and environmentally conscious tourism industry which will provide work opportunities for the local community, while maintaining our way of life and that of other Egyptian Bedouins.

The income generated by this industry will not only help us take control of our own local development, but will also allow our people to gain access to further education, professional training, health facilities, improved housing and utilities, and generally a better quality of life.
