Journeys - For Schools

Sinai - School Projects

Please navigate this section further using the menu on the right.

Although a journey to Sinai, Egypt can be considered an education in itself, some schools like to go even further. Working with students and staff we help them to organise different activities and projects that they are interested in being involved in.

For example, Wycombe Abbey has recently linked with one of the Bedouin schools in Sinai. On their last journey the students visited the Bedouin children in their classroom, bringing them supplies and books. The experience was an education for all the students, English and Bedu alike! Of course, our twelve years of experience means we can organise more in depth projects and activities that are linked to school subjects. A very different way to inspire your students!

"Wind, Sand & Stars wins the prize for creating a safe, challenging and memorable wilderness experience. It is the very best taste of adventure for youngsters."
