Also traveled that area, late 90s thru 2000. Somewhere with caves we went scrambling all over until through one hole a friend and I had clearly and unknowingly climbed into a families living room. Their first words (in Arabic), would you like some tea? You're english, right?
We hadn't realised (or ignorantly) but we were scrambling over a lived in area, peoples property. The reaction from everyone we randomly met was the same, warm, smiling.
- prepend 5y agoI had something similar when hiking around Petra. Behind the main city are caves that seemed inhabited. And I was embarrassed to explore so. I guess when you’re a Bedouin, you adopt some good hospitality traits.
