Bedouin Paths

About Bedouin Paths

Overview

Bedouin Paths is a UK registered company that specialises in providing high quality hiking
tours in Egypt. However it is different from most companies in that its business model
was designed from the beginning to support local education and housing for the
Bedouin of Sinai.
Although Bedouin Paths is a private limited company, it does not exist for the benefit
of its shareholders. It exists for the benefit of the local people whose lands are
explored, hiked and appreciated by Bedouin Path’s customers. You. Bedouin Paths
is not a charity, an NGO or part of some other non-commercial entity. It is wholly
financially self sufficient (through the monies made by selling the hiking tours) and
does not get, nor seek, external financial support or sponsorship. Bedouin Paths has
no official ideological, economic or ecological agenda and is wholly non-political in nature.
Bedouin Paths is not affiliated, joined to or in partnership with, any other organisation or entity.

Bedouin Paths Mission

Bedouin Paths has a simple 5 stage approach to what we do:

1. High quality, unique and personalised hiking tours
2. For the independent traveller as well as the small group
3. Follow the Bedouin paths throughout the mountains and deserts
4. A clear social conscience with tangible benefits to the community
5. Not the most expensive, but the best

Ownership

The founder and owner of Bedouin Paths is Mark Knutton. Mark has spent many years
working and hiking around the globe and decided, after a yet another mid-life crisis, to
actually do something worthwhile for a change. This involved stopping wearing suits and
making PowerPoint presentations, and actually provide something that people needed.
Mark thinks spending the day half way up a mountain and sleeping rough in Bedouin huts
is preferable to working in an office and clock watching.
