I had read about the Bedouin, their traditions and their lifestyle and
found
them extremely fascinating. Something I had particularly wondered
about were

the effects of growing up in a very extreme physical

environment without a

permanent address, constantly looking for shelter.

This is what inspired me to go

on a journey to discover the way of the

Bedouin. Nowadays, some Bedouins have

become completely modern,

living in permanent homes, with mobile phones

and televisions. However, I

was in search of the traditional nomadic Bedouin.
While I was travelling in the desert in Egypt's North Sinai, I was lucky to
meet
a very friendly man called Mondi, a member of a tribe of Bedouins
who are

desert wanderers. Mondi invited me to be their guest at my first-
ever Bedouin

mountain meal. As we approached their tent, I was left

speechless by the beauty

of the desert scenery: a vast open space with a

towering mountain and a single

acacia tree as nature's only decoration in

sight. And yet, in the middle of this

vastness, the Bedouin had created a
cosy atmosphere with a fire and a circle of cushions around it, where we
sat to eat.

The food was delicious- goat that had been slowly roasted in a covered
pit in
the ground, in the same way their ancestors used to prepare it. After
eating, the

company talked, looked up at the stars and listened to the

quiet. It was truly

beautiful and memorable.

The Bedouin are well known for being very kind and hospitable.
Furthermore,

living in such a difficult environment seems to create a

stronger bond between

people, along with an attitude of respect and

amazement for the desert and its

dangers, and an appreciation for what

nature offers. When I asked Mondi how

he feels about not having a

permanent address and many possessions, he said,

'Houses are not

important for us. We don't care about modern kitchens and

material
possessions. What is of great importance to us is that we are happy
together and able to welcome strangers. We are happy if we can light a
fire and

offer guests coffee and tea.'

I stayed in the desert for a fortnight and witnessed how the difficult
climate

and the wandering life of the Bedouin shape them in other ways.

They are very

strong and independent, and skilful at solving difficulties.

They spend a lot of

time observing the sky above them, as well as the

landscape. They know many

things, such as where they are, the time of

day and what weather they can

expect, without the use of technology. It

was also very interesting to see how the

Bedouin value their animals,

which they keep an eye on at all times. They travel

through the desert on

camels, which also provide them with clothing, meat and

milk, as do their

goats. Their movements are directed by their herds as they are

always

searching for fresh places for the animals to graze and drink water.
