Three people, one terrain
An astronomer, a logistics expert, and a Bedouin born to the terrain. This is how Jibal Tours started, and who runs the days, and the nights, today.
Jibal Tours started with three people who knew this terrain and wanted it shown the way it deserves: not rushed, not packaged, but lived, in the company of the people who know it best.
We come from different directions: an astronomer, a logistics expert, and a Bedouin guide whose family has read this terrain for generations. Between us we cover the plan, the ground, and the sky we navigate by.
Jibal is the Arabic word for mountains. It is what we run, and what we answer to.
The three of us
No office, no call centre. The people who plan your days are the people who run them.
The Eye Behind the Lens
An astronomer who came to South Sinai for its skies and stayed for everything under them. He also founded Sinaeye. For Jibal he reads the land, the weather, and the calendar of the moon, so an experience lands in the right place at the right hour.
The Anchor
The one who makes the plan hold. Vehicles, permits, timing, and the dozen small things that have to line up before anyone sets out. When a trip runs to the hour, it is usually his doing.
The Guide
Raised on this terrain and at home in it. He knows the canyons by their turns and the mountains by their light, and which line is safe when the weather shifts. The places we keep to ourselves were his long before they were ours.
Small by choice, careful by habit
We keep groups small and departures private, because that is how an experience here is best lived. We can change a plan when the weather turns, take the slower line through a canyon, or wait out the right light without holding up a crowd.
It also means the people you speak with before a trip are the people you meet at the trailhead.
