The Bedouin Way

Never realized till now that there are still Bedouins roaming around living in their traditional way in Jordan. These are the Nomadic Arabs, deeply proud of themselves. They live in tents scattered across the highlands, their flock of sheeps grazing like time has never moved. Camels, traditionally associated as Bedouin's best friend, are now often replaced by a Landrover or Toyota 4WD.

We went to a Bedouin camp to try their food - buffet style. The Bedouin oven couldn't be simpler. Simply dig a hole in the sand and burn enough firewood to make glowing coals. Seal the oven containing the meat, cover it with sand and cook for an hour or two. Yummy!
