Its 16 families run a hotel, a res- taurant, a club for divers and a club for excursions into the desert. Diving has become the main source of income for the village. Each season more than 500 divers come from all over the world. It is an ideal place for diving with a crystal-clear sea and a marvellous panorama.

The settlers from Di Zahav have also proved that one can grow fruits and vegetables in the salty soil. There is no winter here and there are crops twice a year. The Moshav is based on the principle of a collec- tive. The machines and the installations are common. The members of the Moshav live in their own houses. New mem- bers get apartments of three or four rooms ac- cording to the size of the family, and wages in proportion to their work. Member. men and women earn equal wages. Women work only four hours per day, men eight. Education for children is free. On the sea shore 40 houses stand ready. Build- ing progresses quickly, as each day new settlers ar- rive.

The trou- ble is the uncertainty of the political future of the set- tlement. If a peace with Egypt is reached, the set- tlement may return to Egypt. But the settlers of Di Zahav do not waste time on discussing_ their fu- ture. They work, and build a blossoming oasis on the edge of the desert. Bachelors cannot join the, collective. There are some young men who work in the restaurant, in the divers' club, but they are not mem- bers of the Moshay. For them the place is a paradise. Many young girls and women from all over the world visit the place. The bachelors live in trailers with all facilities. They are very diligent and do all types of odd jobs. Sometimes there are dif- ferences of opinion. The political situation of the place and its unknown fu- ture occupy the minds of the settlers. But they do not wish to think that Di Zahav would return to the Egyp- tians. One of the interesting personalities in the villages is Dr. Victor Zadikov. He was born in Tel Aviv, went in 1967 to South Africa and worked there as a surgeon. Once he visited his son, who served in the Army in- Di Zahay. He "fell in love" with the place and decided to settle here. He opened a clinic and gives medical aid to all settlers . - and Bedouins_of the - vic- inity. Even Bedouin women, who are suspici- ous of doctors, gladly go to him. The Bedouins of the area are providing services for the tourists. They arrange folklore evenings, sporting events and camel rides. They opened coffee shops, restaurants and souvenir shops with special Bedouin art and robes. In Di Zahav, two worlds and cultures meet and try for a new phase of integra- tion and cooperation. MIAMI • .• BAKE SHOPPE 6 Locations 31225 Southfield Rd.
