Maged El Said has been in the Sinai for decades, he has become an upstanding character in his community and one of the pioneers of the tourism industry, investing in both a camp and an organic farm development, after years of working for others and himself.

He has a keen interest in permaculture and is interested in pioneering techniques to help build food security and self-reliance amongst the Bedouin of the Sinai, providing an alternative to their current heavy dependence on the tourist industry.
