Shopping in The Eastern Desert

  1. Handicraft Workshop

    The former British military hospital in south Azraq has recently been renovated by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) as a base from which to explore the Eastern Desert. It’s a nostalgic lodge with a 1940s colonial feel. The lodge is also home to a small handicraftworkshop where women from the local community sell silk screens, ostrich-egg carvings and traditional textiles.
