Late one afternoon Ahmed and I drove to a Bedouin village high on the plateau, where we would stay the night.

The governorate also contains more than 100 Bedouin villages and settlements that are not listed below.

Since Taba existed only as a small Bedouin village, there was never any real transportation infrastructure.

It is effectively two villages, a Bedouin village in the south and the administrative center in the north.

The rest have been resettled by the government in the nearby Bedouin village.

Reaching the top of this pass we catch a view of the Bedouin village directly below.

The authorities tried to learn from this while planning and building new Bedouin villages and towns.

This was partially confirmed with the fact that Bedouin villages in the area were also targeted by the military operation.

Grab yourself a bargain in the Bedouin village of Dahab.

In 2003-2004 a number of unrecognized Bedouin villages was recognized by the state, and their infrastructure is being upgraded.
