This Bedouin managed Eco Lodge is located in the heart of the St. Katherine Protectorate operates on the principles of simplicity (less comfort) and minimal environmental impact. There are 8 Bedouin houses, built on the remains of an ancient Nabatean settlement, built from desert stones and mud, furnished with carved driftwood washed up in the nearby wadis. Besides solar-heated showers, a composting- and a squat toilet there's a modest kitchen (with excellent organic food from the gardens and fresh baked bread) and a restaurant. There is no electricity so light is provided by some solar lamps, candles and the moonlight.
