Coffee in a Bedouin tent
Kahwa, dates, camel milk and stories with a family of the sands.
Families around Al Rakah and near Jawharat Bidiah open their tents to visitors: cardamom coffee and dates in the majlis, fresh camel milk, trying on the dishdasha or the burqa, henna for the women, and an evening of Taghrud and Wanna singing. Hosts consider it shameful to charge; go through a camp or operator, bring a small gift, and accept the third cup.
