I'd have to recommend Geoff & Nadia Lawton, not only are they highly
experienced in the desert environment they have had quite a bit of direct
experience in the middle east, especially in Jordan. They are also Muslim
and Nadia speaks fluent arabic.

Here is a link to a project they did some time back
http://www.milkwoodpermaculture.com.au/greening-the-desert.html

They run the Permaculture Research Institue in Northern NSW their website is
http://permaculture.org.au
Phone: 61 (0)2-66886578, mobile 61 (0) 427862902
email: geoff at permaculture.org.au or nadia at permaculture.org.au

They are very busy people and can be a little hard to get hold of at
times... persistence will be rewarded.


Cheers
Nick
