In a previous post (since corrected), I described the St Katherine Bedouin community as numbering approximately 25,000. Our collaborator on the project has pointed out that this is in error. The true figure is even smaller: closer to 4000. The entire Bedouin population of Southern Sinai is actually only about 25,000, but this covers a much larger land area.
Apologies. To make up for my mistake, above are some more examples of the Bedouins' beautiful work. I'm afraid my photos don't do them justice. You really need to feel the quality (as we used to say, in the trade!).
