Join the Heritage Gardens Trail, a cultural and spiritual trek through the highest valleys and peaks of Saint Catherine — where nature, tradition, and human resilience meet.

For over 1,400 years, the Bedouin tribes of Sinai carved life into the harsh mountain landscape. Along this trail, you’ll walk among:

🌾 Ancient terraced gardens carefully built along valley slopes

💧 Deep stone wells and irrigation channels

🧱 Stone dams designed to catch and store precious rainwater

🐐 Traces of pastoral life that once revolved around shepherding and seasonal springs

These gardens are more than relics — they are living systems, still maintained by Bedouin families today. Their design reflects deep ecological knowledge, community cooperation, and a way of life that honors the land.
