  Descrição

  Our project is an organic farm & art space in Nuweiba, South Sinai, and the realization of a long dream that we—Gihan Zakaria & Khaled Kamel—have had. We have both lived full and successful lives in Canada & Egypt working for multinational corporates in the computers & communications fields. But after so many years, we decided it was time to get out of the city, to a cleaner, more natural and sustainable lifestyle.
  We took a piece of land in the desert of Sinai and worked hard by hand to create an organic farm and art space to practice & share knowledge about sustainable lifestyle and handicrafts.
  Now, four years later, we produce organic dry herbs (lemongrass, lavender, horsemint, rosemary, moringa, pelargonium and more), as well as our famous homemade vegan, low-sugar hibiscus & aubergine jams.
  At the center of our land sits this brain: a one-story building we also built ourselves where, for the past few years, we have had the pleasure to build our ever-growing community of artists and collaborators. On our porch, we’ve hosted sculptors, painters, potters, writers, filmmakers, musicians, and more.
  -------------------------------------------------
  
  Gihan & Khaled, un couple voyageur. Nous avons décidé de quitter la grande ville et l’emploi corporatif et de déménager à Nuweibaa, dans le desert de Sinai, entre la montagne et la mer. Nous voulions une nouvelle vie dans un environment propre sans pollution ou nous pouvons cultiver notre nourriture de manière naturelle et traditionnelle (aussi connue sous le nom ‘biologique') et mettre en oeuvre et partager notre passion pour les arts et l’artisanat avec des matériaux naturels et nobles tel que le bois, le cuire, le metal, l’argile, le verre, le tissu et autres.
  Nous avons commencé à travailler sur notre projet en août 2016. Un voyage pour transformer le désert en espace vert. Notre objectif principal était de produire des fruits, des légumes et des herbes biologiques pour notre consommation personnelle. Pouvoir manger des aliments sains sans pollution du sol, de l'eau et des additifs chimiques.Maintenant, nous avons commencé la production d’herbes que nous cultivons sur notre terre.
  Nous les cueillons à la main, les lavons et séchons avec des méthodes garantissant propreté et sécurité pour garder le maximum de leur arômes.
  Durant l’an passé nous avons travaillé sur notre espace art ou nous allons pratiquer notre art et offrir des divers ateliers.
  Le grand artist et humain M Hany ElMasry disait ´celui qui travail avec ses mains est un ouvrier, celui qui travail avec ses mains et son cerveau est un artisan et celui qui travail avec ses mains, son cerveau et son coeur est un artist’
  Alors bienvenu à tout les artistes dans notre espace.
