The expedition itself comprises a sizeable group of people. The expedition team resides in tents but can make use of the storage and work facilities in the Ababda Museum built on site by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The expedition owns two battered vehicles, and rents a third one, to provide the camp with food and to go out in the desert for survey work. Solar panels generate electricity to operate computers, printers and microscopes.
Food is prepared on butagas stoves and meals are served in a large dinner tent.
After sunset, light is provided by kerosene lamps, candles and flashlights. Sanitary arrangements include solar heated showers and latrines dug by volunteers. The Project appreciates the support of the Supreme Council of Antiquities as well as the support and co-operation of many who make their contribution not in Berenike but from a distance. The excavation works with a staff of Ababda Bedouin from the neighbouring villages of Arab Saleh and Manazig, as well as from Mersa Alam and the Aswan region. Apart from working on site, they receive training in archaeological techniques, recording systems and the preservation of desert sites.
