Sinai Gardens: retreats in the Sinai High Mountains

Despite its religious importance the Sinai High Mountain Region in Egypt remains largely unknown to the general public. This concise book gives background info on the unique orchard farming tradition which lives on from Byzantine times; practical info on how to visit the region and the gardens; two case studies about simple sustainable development models; a map of the region with a list of gardens; and a gallery of 36 full-page images with rare glimpses of snow, spring, gardens and Bedouin life. The aim of this book is to promote the region and responsible tourism, as well as to raise funds to support gardeners to improve their gardens.
