About us – Live the Bedouin Life

Live the Bedouin Life was born from an encounter that felt like coming home.
A friendship grew between people from two worlds, who were curious about each other’s way of life. From that recognition came the desire to share talents, experiences and visions, and to build something together from which as many families as possible could benefit.<

We looked for ways to weave the wisdom and strength of Bedouin life together with what we brought from the West.
Eid, a proud guide from the Muzeina tribe, brought his knowledge, his way of life and his trust.
We – Debra and Daniel, two entrepreneurs from Amsterdam – brought our experience, creativity and the will to learn. This is how Live the Bedouin Life came into being. Not as a project, but as a collaboration – born from friendship, built with respect, and focused on investing in cultures and communities. After Eid’s passing, we continue this work together with me

The journeys we organize were born from collaboration – and from mutual curiosity.
 The interaction between our guests from the West, the inhabitants of Nuweiba and the different Bedouin tribes is enriching for everyone.
 Sharing each other’s lives, stories and experiences opens perspectives on both sides.

With small groups we venture into the desert – on foot or by camel – guided by Bedouins from the region.
 We share the fire, the food, the silence. We sleep under the stars. There is space to slow down, to feel, to sink into the moment.
We deliberately work with camels and guides from different families and tribes, so that as many households as possible can share in the income generated by these journeys.

Besides the desert journeys, we manage a small beach camp on the Gulf of Aqaba, near Nuweiba: the heart of Live the Bedouin Life.
 Six simple, spacious rooms on the beach, built in collaboration with the local community.
 A place to arrive, to unwind.
The camp is for those seeking the calm of the sea or a few days of relaxation on this beautiful coast.
 One or more nights in the desert can be added optionally, tailored entirely to your wishes.
The atmosphere at the beach is the same as in the desert: earthy, warm and Bedouin in style. Always fire. Always tea in the Bedouin tent.
Live the Bedouin Life is not a tourist concept.
 It is a way of living that we share – in collaboration with the people who have called this place home for generations.
We believe that whoever truly dares to step into the desert can touch something essential.
 In nature. In the other. In themselves.
