 Organizing Musical events for the Bedouins/ local community 

Hemaya seeks to organize a number of cultural events for the Bedouin and local community in South Sinai, to get them more integrated into the Egyptian Society, as well as to emphasize their special Bedouin Culture.

Hemaya, in cooperation with the Governorate of South Sinai and El-Sawy Cultural Wheel in Cairo, organized a musical event involving both a Modern Cairene band named “Basata”, lead by Nabil Lahoud, and a Traditional Bedouin Band  called “Sinai Musical Band”.

The event was held in Nuweiba Open Theatre in 2008. Hemaya plans to proceed further with similar events.
