MBI Al Jaber Foundation Projects:

Connecting Cultures: Desert Safari

In February 2007 a group of young people from seven nations and five continents will attempt to travel 100km across the desert in the Sultanate of Oman, using camels for support.

Through wilderness expeditions, the Connecting Cultures initiative aims to enhance cultural awareness, and promote mutual and environmental understanding between the young people of Saudi Arabia, Great Britain and other nations.  

Our support for this project adds to the previous grant that the MBI Al Jaber Foundation gave in 2005 to support the Connecting Cultures Artic expedition

MBI Al Jaber Foundation

The MBI Al Jaber Foundation was born from Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jabers' desire to promote better understanding between the peoples of the Middle East and the wider world, especially in Europe but also with the USA and elsewhere.

We believe that better understanding will be achieved through education and an awareness of and respect for each others’ cultures.
