Background music. So this morning we are doing something called
the Bedouin experience which means we are visiting a village with a local Bedouin and
he's just showing us around some of the things his family do. Like how they make coffee,
how they take care of their goats. We're going to be showing you that. And we've been invited
into this tent. Right here. This is the Bedouin tent. This is the men's
part. Bedouin tents are divided for two parts. One for the women and one for the men. So
always when there is guests this will be separate. The women will go to women part and the men
will come to the men part. Background music.
Do you want to smell? Oh yeah, that's good. This will give you energy. Ooooh! Wonderful.
How does it smell Audrey? Like coffee! *** *** ***.
More banging noises. So when I serve it for you I will give you
the cup in my right hand and if you have to hold it in your right hand. And you have to
be sitting. I think all of you are sitting in the right way to have coffee. If you're
lying down it's not respectful to have coffee, so you have to respect the meaning of the
coffee and the host. We don't give the coffee for somebody lying down. We should be sitting
up. Background music.
So the Bedouin are a nomadic people. This right here is their summer home and they're
just in the process of moving to the winter home which is just over there.
The winter home is more protective as it has coverage from the wind, blocked by hills
and mountains. Background music playing.
We've also been learning a little bit about Bedouin hospitality and apparently if a stranger
wanders into your home it is common for you to offer them to stay for a maximum of three
nights with no questions asked and after that they will either inquire 'why are you here?
Where are you going? Or you are free to leave and go your way.
Background music. I have coal on my eyes. Does it look good?
It does. Beautiful. Just stop moving. That's so funny.
