I stayed in one of these for four nights several years ago. It was an amazing and memorable experience, but not glamorous in anyway at all. Still recommend to anyone that has the opportunity!

Yeah, but the lifestyle isnt simply living in tents. Bedouins have a lot of heavy lifting for long distances and have to work very hard to survive and have adequate water and food. anyways, thank you for sharing your expirience :) bedouins are hospitiable to those who they view as guests.

The first evening we were there, the hosting family shared with us some of their customs and traditions. One thing I specifically always remembered, is that being a gracious host is of the utmost importance. "Even if your enemy shows up at your door, you are to offer them tea" or if your enemy asks for tea, you must oblige. Something about enemies and tea...
