Travelling in Revolutionary Times – Feb 24th – 26th at the Mount
Sina Ecolodge – brainstorming, discussions, visions
Please join us to discuss new ways of travelling in Egypt.
Shape new avenues for tourism in these exciting times — and get involved.
We will meet next weekend, 24.2 to 26.2 at the Mount Sina Ecolodge.
Tentative schedule:
24.2
Arrive Thursday evening at the Ecolodge.
Over dinner collect questions and initial ideas, decide on topics or questions we want to discuss on Friday.
25.2
Breakfast at the Ecolodge.
In small groups work on different questions.
Some of us might want to stay at the Ecolodge and continue discussions there.
Others might want to use the energy of the hike up to Mt. Moses
to intensify our new visions.
Hikers will be back for tea and dinner at the Ecolodge.
26.2
Breakfast at the Ecolodge.
Collect results from discussions on Friday and come up with concrete actions to do.
Build symbols (e.g., small stone figures) to start manifesting our
intentions, plans.
Event ends after lunch.
Accomodation and costs:
There are 14 beds in double and triple rooms available at the Ecolodge.
Around 10 people can sleep in their own sleeping bags/blankets in
the arisha, which will also be our ‘workshop’ room.
At this time of year it is still quite cold in the mountains, as the
Ecolodge is situated at 1700 m elevation.
Sleeping outside will probably be too cold.
The total cost for food and accomodation and an extra guide to look after us from
Thursday evening to Saturday after lunch will be:
320 LE for shared room
280 LE for place in arisha with own sleeping bag.
Ideally you will organize your own transport from Cairo or other
places to St. Katharine. If you have a 4×4, you can go directly to the
Ecolodge.
Others can park their cars at the end of the paved road, and I will
organize a jeep or jeeps to bring us to the Ecolodge. The cost for the
jeep (60 LE per way) can be shared.
If you want to join, please send 100% confirmation by 22.2 20.00 with name, type of
accomodation preferred, means of transport, approx. time of arrival and your telephone number to my email address handicraft@sheikhsina.com.
You are welcome to enrich the event with your ideas. Please confirm.
Also, please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
