Women of Sinai -Al-‘Arish

The Sinai dress is a masterpiece of art. Some dresses are predominantly red and are only worn by married women, while the blue ones are worn by widows. Dresses with a mixture of blue and red are an indication that the wearer has ended her period of mourning and is now ready to marry again.

The number of colors and the geometric designs embroidered by the women of Sinai on their dresses makes the latter a marvelous background for their kind of jewelry. It is the same as the Palestinian dress known as the Bir Sab' dress, with reference to the Palestinian area adiacent to the borders of the Sinai Peninsula.

The burgu', or veil, is an important piece of adornment worn only by the married Bedouin women of Sinai. It can almost be considered a piece of jewelry, for it is covered with quantities of hilyat, or round pieces of silver or white metal, or even gold, and sometimes old metal coins. The burgu is also sometimes adorned with a number of chains attached to both sides of the veil, ending in silver units covered with primitive designs stamped onto them, or ending with units of tube coral.

There are only two types of veil in Sinai, the short one worn by the women of the Akharsa tribe and with it a silver necklace or pendant, and the long veil worn by the women of the Bayyada tribe. Unmarried girls leave their faces uncovered so that young men may see their beauty and seek to marry them.

The Sinai Peninsula is inhabited by a number of Bedouin tribes who migrated to Egypt from the Arab peninsula and Palestine in ancient times. They settled, mixed, and intermarried with the different communities of inhabitants surrounding the peninsula, starting with the people of the Egyptian governorate of Sharqiya to the inhabitants of Bir Sab' in Palestine. The borders were open then and an active trade exchange flourished. Moreover, the Palestinian towns and cities were a market for Egyptian products. As a result of the intermarriages, there is a great resemblance between the jewelry worn in Sinai and the jewelry worn in Palestine, so much so that some jewelry workshops in Cairo specialize in producing the pieces of jewelry sold in Palestinian markets.

🚨 According to the Sinai Foundation, Egyptian authorities have begun the construction of a "security buffer zone" surrounded by high walls to receive Palestinians from Gaza in the event of a mass exodus.

This news comes as Palestinians in Rafah have documented the construction of walls on the border in recent weeks.

The Sinai Foundation revealed that the construction works in eastern Sinai aim to establish a "security area" along the border with the Gaza Strip, intending to host refugees from Gaza in the event of an exodus.

Two local contractors stated that the construction works were awarded to local companies by subcontract from the Sons of Sinai Construction and Building Company, owned by businessman Ibrahim Al-Arjani, who is close to the Sisi regime. Arjani also profits heavily from extortion of Gazans at the Rafah border crossing. The Sisi regime and its intelligence apparatus own a majority stake in the Organi Group, which includes the Hala company that profits from the Rafah crossing.

The project aims to establish an area surrounded by 7-meter high walls, after clearing the rubble of the original residents' homes destroyed during the so-called "war on terror," which Arjani also significantly oversaw operations of.

In fact, Al-Arjani's mercenaries, the "Knights of Haitham" militia, are heavily overseeing security in the construction area.

The project is expected to be done within ten days, with the work being carried out under the supervision of the Engineering Authority of the Egyptian Armed Forces and in the presence of a heavy security detail.

Two days ago, the Sinai Foundation published a report with photo evidence showing the beginning of construction at a very rapid pace, amid significant security tightening. A 7 meter wall was documented south of Rafah heading towards the Mediterranean Sea.

Researcher Mohannad Sabri noted, "These are serious indications that Egypt might be preparing to accept and allow the displacement of Gaza's population to Sinai, in coordination with 'israel' and the United States."

Remember how I always talk about Israel going for not just Palestine but Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria & so the list goes?

After all their aim is "Greater Israel" which I'll talk about in another blog one day, I'm just gathering material at the moment, anyways, as you know Egypt & Israel signed a peace treaty & Egypt got all the land back Al Hamd L Allah but that doesn't mean Israelis aren't allowed to come in as "tourists".

Dahab, one of the most beautiful small towns in Sinai our beautiful Egyptian land is always full of Israeli tourists who ran away after Israel called them back after what happened on the 7th of October.

Well today a girl shared a video, being harassed by an Israeli tourist who's claiming that he's the owner of the land & that we "Egyptians" are animals, enjoy:

Video credit to the Glocal on Instagram, they're an Egyptian media account on Instagram, here's also the link of the video:

What can we say more about them?

BREAKING

Egypt is building a walled buffer zone in Sinai to receive Palestinians after they are forcefully expelled from Gaza. This has been the plan since the beginning: push Palestinians out of Gaza into the Sinai.

Buffer zone = concentration camp.

ÚLTIMA HORA

Egipto está construyendo una zona de amortiguación amurallada en el Sinaí para recibir a los palestinos después de que sean expulsados por la fuerza de Gaza. Este ha sido el plan desde el principio: expulsar a los palestinos de Gaza hacia el Sinaí.

Zona de amortiguamiento = Campo de concentración

Genuine question sorry if it's rude I am trying to learn. But from what I understand Jews/Israels returned and reclaimed Jerusalem since it has an attachment to their religion. But if that's the plan why did the Israeli army also try to claim Sinai even though it's Egyptian? Sorry if I badly worded the question English is not my first language

Good question! After Israel was established in 1948, Egypt did not recognize it - not even after signing an armistice. Egypt put a blockade on the Straits of Tiran, restricting or completely stopping Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, cutting them off from all trade in East Africa and from receiving oil from Iran (which was an ally of Israel until 1979).

Israel was going to have a fight with Egypt about this sooner or later, and then in 1956 the UK and France convinced Israel to partner with them in an attack on Egypt. During that fight, Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula, but they withdrew from it in 1957, considering it sufficient that the blockade at Tiran had been broken. The United Nations was supposed to patrol Sinai and make sure nobody could invade anybody else, but then in 1967 Egypt expelled the UN peacekeepers, re-established their naval blockade, and drove tanks right up to the Israeli border, saying they were about to destroy the entire country. Israel fired the first shot, you've got the Six-Day War, and then Israel took the Sinai back. They established a few settlements in Sinai, but abandoned those and withdrew after the Egypt / Israel peace treaty and recognition in 1979.

The Palestinians won’t be able to elect their own government. They’re being killed by the occupying Israeli state. How are the Palestinians going to vote when their homes, schools, hospitals, shops are being destroyed?

If you had any decen as a human being you wouldn’t derail what atrocities are occurring currently. Yes it’s bad what happened to Israeli citizens. It doesn’t justify their army brutally wiping out generations of children, parents and families

Blaming hamas is just a scapegoating excuse. They formed in 1987.

Palestine has been occupied by Israel since 1948… 1948. I won’t repeat myself again

I wish you good day and good luck on your journey

The war between Hamas and Israel won't last forever. While the war is going on, innocent Palestinians should be allowed to relocate to the Sinai dessert or other safe havens.

After the war, Palestinians who remained in Gaza and those who return to Gaza should be able to elect leaders who will better represent them.

I believe that the vast majority of Palestinians just want to live their lives in peace. Hamas has set them on a course that is currently wreaking tremendous havoc. Palestinians deserve better leadership than Hamas.

Last night I told my bestfriend that today I'll take a break from social media, it's my day off, 1989 is coming out, my whole feed is full of Gaza and my mental state degraded by light years this week.

I never thought I'd wake up to my mom waking up my dad to tell him "wake up, Israel bombed us too"

This is where the American taxes go.
