Negev Tours
The Forum offers guided tours for international and local journalists, members of the public and students to visit Bedouin communities in the Negev. During the tours, participants meet with community leaders and experts and visit unrecognized villages. Participants learn about the various problems facing the Negev Bedouin population as well as possible solutions.
