Speaking this month we have:
1st EmmaLucy Cole – Two years with the Tarrabin Bedouin in Sinai
In 2011 EmmaLucy visited South Sinai, Egypt, to carry out six weeks of research into a facet of the local Bedouin culture. Two years later EmmaLucy finally left, having been immersed in Bedouin language, food, and customs.
EmmaLucy’s talk will share the excitement of this journey, discussing some of the challenges of living among the tribe, the wonders of desert life, and how the experience inspired further travel, as well as EmmaLucy’s current PhD research into the ethics of representing other cultures.

Most of these natural gems, however, remain under-visited and underappreciated by international tourists. Let’s take a closer look together at some of these incredible places and how you can go about visiting them.
