General Information
A foundation dedicated to the development of artistic creation and expression in South Sinai, mainly through the following 4 areas; Documentation of the musical heritage of the Bedouins in the Gulf of Aqaba, Providing artists and writers from different backgrounds with focused artist residency programs, Hosting musical workshops by musicians of diverse musical genres, and finally giving back to the South Sinai community by enhancing their cultural experience.
Mission and Objectives

Ram seeks to introduce a fresh perspective to the art scene in a way that enriches (enhances) the entire Arab culture scene.
Ram believes that the production of artistic or cultural outcome of any kind, is a process that involves interaction and synergy, that necessarily requires a deep understanding and knowledge of the history of artistic and musical heritage, as well as a broad understanding of the nature of our region and its cultural specificities and roots. Accordingly, the foundation seeks to produce creative fusions and blends out of such a wide area extending along the desert, these blends/creations should be able to reflect the relationship between the art and the desert. Also seeking to generate individual artistic projects through live interactions between artists from different regions with a view to come up with a unique artistic output, without denying it the opportunity to compete in the market.
