Ramadan's Garden in Wadi Leja

The typical Jabaleya Bedouin garden is located in Wadi Leja, right below the holy peaks of Mt. Sinai and Mt. St. Katherine, overlooking the Monastery of Forty Martyrs and a large olive grove. There are many different fruit trees, vegetables and mountain herbs in the garden. It has a number of Bedouin tents - one of them the hearth where Ramadan meets his guests and plays the simsimiya next to the camp fire - and secluded stone huts above the garden with small terraces and sitting places. There are a big water tank, cleaning areas and a couple of toilets.
