Tourism development

We are trying to promote the development of tourism products (tours, accommodation, meals and workshops) in the northern Judean Desert area that will benefit hosts from the various Jahalin communities. The tourism boom will help to support the hosts' livelihoods and introduce Israelis and other travelers to the communities in the region. This is part of promoting the legitimacy of the tribe and cultural diversity. Friends of the Jahalin are involved in broad marketing of the products and the project. Both through its social networks and through the media of its members. In the hospitality tents, we also produce events and workshops for the general public on behalf of our group and in cooperation with the families in order to raise awareness and to promote tourism. The guides in our group bring training courses for guides and tourist guides to the accommodations and conduct tours of the sites of the area on a voluntary basis in order to promote the initiative of the host families, developing walking routes that include a stop at the Bedouin communities.

The various Jahalin families offer accommodation and a variety of traditional, vegetarian and meat meals. Among the visitors are Israelis and tourists from all over the world, individuals or groups.

You can spend the night in a tent and go on jeep trips during the day between the Jahalin communities spread out in the desert and at sites in the Dead Sea area. Among those coming are Israelis and tourists from abroad, solo travelers and groups, families and young people.
The Bedouins invite anyone who wishes to get to know the people of the Jahalin tribe and the desert nature firsthand.

We are trying to encourage additional Bedouin families to enter the hospitality industry and develop additional services that we can offer.
