The Middle East Times Report: (Click here for full story on www.metimes.com) At around midday on July 11, three truckloads of soldiers, two bulldozers and several other vehicles showed up at Amsalam Faraj's camp for tourists just north of Nuweiba in the Sinai. For three years Faraj, a native Sinai Bedouin, his friends and family had painstakingly built his Bedouin Dream complex of 12 straw huts with stone foundations, bath house and restaurant with their own hands. In an hour of the bulldozers in his camp, and the dreams he had worked for were obliterated... the TDA is planning to build a luxury hotel on the site where Faraj built his Bedouin Dream.
