This is actually the first time i blog, but after watching one of the most beautiful sunsets i've ever seen i felt like writing.
We are currently very tired and waiting for dinner so let me introduce you to Abu Ibrahim's family (the bedouin family who hosted us for the last couple of days) Abu Ibrahim himself is 59 and has 9 sons and daughters. He was very welcoming and served us at least 6 glasses of tea in less than an hour. After dinner he spent 2 hours playing with his handmade Rababa (musical instrument, similar to violin) for us. Very nice guy.
The oldest son, who we barely met, is a chef at the hotel close to the area. His brothers respect him to an extent that shocked us.
Mousa is the second oldest, he was our guide and his wife cooked for us great food on both nights. I am sure William, Guillermo's name here, has already said a lot about him.
Then comes Yasser, in his early twenties. Yasser was convinced that William got drunk after one drink of our number 7 friend, Jack. On the first night he wouldn't sleep until he made sure we went to sleep, he
was really enjoying having us.
Aly, my second favourite. Aly emptied his phone's battery making me watch football clips. He doesn't support a specific team, he rather loves good football in general! I watched at least ten clips.
Mohamed spent two days practicing his English. He doesn't speak very well but he is very passionate about it and is doing his best to improve it. He also has a book to study from. He served each of us tea
at least 35 times, really!
Omar is very shy and quiet. I tried to speak to him a few times but he wouldnt say a word. He seemed very nice though but i can't be sure.
Finally Ammar, my favourite. Ammar is 9 years old and is very intelligent. He smiles all day long and is always willing to help.
Being the youngest brother, he was always asked to do stuff like getting light from the other tent, getting tea, etc..he always did those things very happily and still keeping the smile. On the second night, after he got more comfortable around us, he started saying the abc in English as well as other words and what they mean. Shockingly, he knows a lot. If i could, i would have taken Ammar with me to Egypt.
Abu Ibrahim has two daughters but we never saw them, that's how the bedouins do things. I will explain all about this in my next post, if it ever gets written. I will definitely be posting photos of this great family!
