Bedouin Camps
Bedouin Hospitality
"A guest is always welcome to the Bedouin home. We feel our houses are like a poor home without guests. All the big family will come to share the food with the guests who came to one of the houses in the village. After the meal the men will discuss between each other, where the guests will eat next. So the guests will feel all the warmth of our houses. Even if you just pass by we will be happy to drink a tea with you. Because a guest comes from God, so called Dayf Allah, he will never pay for anything he needs. All the cost will be a pleasure for us to pay. In our camp you will see our smiles in our faces for having new guests and when we sit around the fire we will invite you for a tea with fresh mint so you feel our warm hearts for you, our guests."
Bedouin Tents
"The traditional Bedouin tent was woven from goats' hair. When it rains the weave contracts and does not let the water in. In the heat of the summer the outside of the tent feels very hot to the touch while the inside remains blissfully cool. In the winter when it is cold outside with a small fire inside the reverse is true, and the tent stays warm and cosy. Nowadays the tents are used so often and are moved day by day that the material is changed and style to be better for guests. But they still offer the Bedouin comfort and atmosphere. They protect the Bedouin in the night from the wind and let them sit together inside to make music."
Bedouin Music
"We don't need anything else but our voices and the clap of our hands. These songs make us feel strong in the desert and the loneliness disappears. Our grandfathers taught us many kinds of songs about their lovers. There are also lots of songs for the camels, to make them happy and strong. You will never understand this feeling, only if you sit in the saddle of a camel and your body moves on the camel. We are singing these songs now with our guests at our fire place in the camp and outside on our safaris. We love to play the drums and the samsomeja (similar to a western guitar) and we feel so happy to keep our traditions alive."
Bedouin Food
"Because it was so difficult to carry all the fresh fruits and vegetables with us in the desert our food was so simple and tastier. Rice and flour was easier to carry. Maybe this is the reason why we have a variety of bread, which was made freshly every day. The classical fetir was made with flour, water and little salt in the fire. It was used to put it in the soup or hot milk in the morning. Moraras, like a pancake, are made from flour, water and samna (a kind of fat) and sugar or honey. In our hotel you will get every morning a fresh and special home-made fetir with oil. Our meals are mostly made of rice and vegetables in a tasty sauce, simple and healthy."
