Experience the real Bedouin life!

Our Story

We are Steffie and Mustafa.

Steffie was always adventurous, and her work led her to Egypt five years ago. As a European woman, she was fascinated by the rich history, culture and way of life in the country.

During her two years in Egypt, Steffie had the opportunity to meet many interesting people and learn about the local customs and traditions. It was during one of her tours that she met Mustafa, a Bedouin man. Mustafa was a proud and passionate individual, and Steffie was immediately drawn to his warm smile and engaging personality.
As they got to know each other, Steffie and Mustafa found that they had a lot in common and over time, their friendship grew into a romantic relationship.

Together they started a safari camp. They wanted to show visitors the true beauty of Bedouin life, including their traditions, culture and way of life. A Padi Camp gives tourists the chance to experience life in the desert, relax under the stars and learn about the nomadic lifestyle of the Bedouins.

Our Experiences

During Corona, Steffi had no job and decided to live with Mustafa in the desert. She stayed there for a year and a half and during that time she came to love life in the desert. This is also what she likes to give to her guests when they visit them.

After Corona, Steffie was able to start working again and Mustafa decided to come and live closer to her in the desert with his uncle.
