Kfar HaNokdim - a Bedouin Village - by Katrina





We went to the camp site called Kfar Hanokdim, located in the Negev (dessert) in the South of Israel. As soon as we arrived, we left all our things in our giant tent, and were immediately invited to sit in another tent to meet the Beduins and for some Beduin hospitality. We learned about their traditions and customs and we even got to taste delicious, sweet tea and very strong and bitter coffee, which they grind themselves. We even had an opportunity to grind coffee beans and to also listen to some traditional Beduin music. Later we had a traditional Beduin dinner, and we got to taste very good salads, beef Kabob, rice, and delicious warm pita bread. We ate on the floor, of course, which was very interesting. We all slept in a huge tent and each of us slept on a very thing mattress, which was surprisingly very comfortable. It was a very interesting experience that I will never forget.
