Sherif El Ghamrawy

Basata

 

Sherif El Ghamrawy has fought relentlessly for the sustainability and conservation of Egypt’s natural resources on both land and sea. He is the founder of two complementary organizations. He pioneered Basata as the first ecolodge in Egypt establishing South Sinai and the gulf of Aqaba as an eco-tourism destination. With the large scale developments that followed, Hemaya was then created to deal with waste management on 150 kms of coastline with marine and reef protection patrols and empowering local communities to run these programs.
