The Sinai Bedouin: a photographic journey
4/5
()
About this ebook
The Sinai is a barren and inhospitable - but very diverse and stunningly beautiful - desert wilderness inhabited by nomadic Arab tribes, the Bedouin. Most of them are from the Arabian Peninsula originally, arriving in several waves before and after the Arab conquest. The Bedouin are now at a crossroad. This little ebook shows glimpses of their life and natural environment through 40 images.

Introduction
Although the Sinai is part of Egypt, it is a very distinct region. While the mainland is in Africa, the Sinai, separated by the Suez Canal, is in Asia.
