Tour guide from a Bedouin community with a comprehensive knowledge of the Bedouin customs, traditions and lifestyle. “I did not learn how to camp and hike in the desert at schools or universities. This is how my life has been since my childhood; living in the desert, moving from one place to another and taking care of sheep and camels which made me able to walk long distances in high temperatures.” Being a guide not only gives Naser a chance to practice his hobby of wandering in nature but as well brings joy of sharing the Bedouin culture with visitors. It is very important for Naser that hikers following him receive sufficient information, have an enjoyable journey and feel safe.

At the beginning, Naser got involved in the way-marking of The Palestinian Heritage Trail in the area of Jericho and Jerusalem’s Wilderness. Then he started to guide groups along these sections of the trail. In 2016, he became a Ministry of Tourism licensed community trekking guide.

Naser describes The Palestinian Heritage Trail as “a national trail that links many different cultures among the Palestinian people and passes through different landscapes that provide us with a very beautiful biodiversity.

Jameel Hamadeen comes from the Al-Jahaleen Bedouin tribe and lives in the Sea Level Community, in the proximity of the Nabi Musa Sanctuary in the Jericho Region. His origins go back to the desert of the Negev, from where the Jahalin tribes immigrated in 1948. As a member of the Bedouin community, Jameel loves the desert and freedom. Throughout his life, Jameel has experienced all of the unique aspects of Bedouin society. “I am interested in preserving the culture and customs of the Bedouin community and showing the world all its spectrum,” says Jameel. The Bedouin society is one of the communities of Palestine with a specific lifestyle and culture which needs to be highlighted. “Because Bedouin community suffers from various threats, I’am contributing to enhancing tourism in our society to improve the situation for Bedouins by welcoming and hosting visitors (local and foreigners) here,” says Jameel.

Because he was born and raised in the wilderness and desert, Jameel has vast experience in this environment. Jameel also loves adventure, nature, history and geography. Besides his constant hunger for knowledge, he is keen on community service and volunteering. Jameel studied eco-tourism at Dar Al-Kalima University College in Bethlehem and passed a Palestine Ministry of Tourism exam to become a licensed tour guide. In 2018, he went to Jordan to train with the Royal Jordanian Society for the Conservation of Nature in order to learn more about climate change and the concept of natural reserves. He also was trained in Wilderness First Aid, provided by the The Palestinian Heritage Trail. His favourite hiking spot is Wadi Mukalek, the home to the Milaagi spring. Today, Wadi Mukalak is rarely visited, but is a hidden treasure of nature and history, home to hosts of desert plants and wildlife, and once part of Palestine’s historic pilgrim route with the ruins of the Mukalak monastery built into its cliffs.
