Sinai Bedouin Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Bedouin tribes of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, whose desert life moves between mountain valleys and the Red Sea coast. Bedouin hospitality here often means being welcomed with strong, cardamom-scented coffee poured from a long-spouted dallah pot, and the peninsula is also home to Saint Catherine’s Monastery, one of the oldest continuously inhabited monasteries in the world, tucked at the foot of the mountains. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Sinai Bedouin Lullaby” Means
The Bedouin tribes of the Sinai Peninsula have long moved between granite mountain valleys and the Red Sea coast, herding and trading in a desert way of life passed down through generations. This original lullaby draws on those desert-tent and mountain-valley images of Sinai Bedouin heritage.
