Travel Ideas

Sinai once belonged to Israel until Egypt was bribed with land concessions in return for a peace deal. You wouldn’t really know it, though, for all the Israelis that come down to Sinai to hang out in the Bedouin hoosha tents, set against the smoky desert hills and the stunning Red Sea.

But if it was truly part of Israel the whole area would already be developed whereas under the less organized Egyptians the magic of Sinai continues and there are few better places to go hang out in nature, smoke, eat and jam with other musicians.

Israelis are the population in force but following bombings in some of the more touristy Sinai resorts and the threat of kidnappings, tourism is down and the Bedouin are facing hard times.
