Since January 2017, a group of Palestinian, Jordanian, Israelis have been meeting in order to establish a unique cross-border tourism project.
We dreamed of creating a unified geographical space around the Syrian-African rift. We wanted to make the desert accessible, to expose its hidden and unique corners to the general public, and to create a safe and protected space for tours, learning, and acquaintance.

Through the building of this touristic network, we build our relationships and create a safe and accessible zone of new possibilities for tourists.
