Forthcoming Journeys

Makhad Journeys has been running one or more Working Journeys annually, for people to come and experience life with the Bedouin and to contribute to well being of everyone by increasing access to water.

After a pause due to the pandemic, Working Journeys resumed in Spring 2023, with two journeys.    The focus of the trip is the building of a dam to provide more water for the mountain gardens.  

Our Project Manager, Helen Cranston, will lead a journey from 26 April to 6 May 2025.  The 12 day trip starts with trekking into the high mountains to work alongside the Bedouin, building a dam.  The group will then climbed Mt Sinai, and afterwards, spend 4 days on a desert exploration, before heading back to the airport and home.  The expected cost of this trip is £900 (flights not included).

Rachel and Dick, two of our trustees, will be leading a second journey, dates TBC.  This journey will focus on the dam build, like the first one, and will include a visit to St Katherine’s monastery and a night to two on the coast at a small Bedouin run beach resort.  The expected cost of this trip is £750 (flights not included).  

Direct flights can be booked from Luton, Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester to Sharm El Sheikh on EasyJet.    

Future Journeys – We hope to run regular journeys during the Autumn and Spring each year, when the weather is not too hot and not too cold. Please do let us know if you are interested.  We can also arrange  bespoke journeys for your family or group of friends.
