November 2010 Travel Photo: Saudi Bedouin Chairs
In what can only be described as a Pink Floyd album cover, this was the sight I encountered out in the desert of Saudi Arabia this past spring. Two Bedouin shepherds had Lazy-E-Boys to watch their flock.
These Bedouin own their own goats. The goats provide diary products and meat. The camels; however, do not belong to the Bedouin who care for them. In the area outside of Riyadh, most Bedouin take care of camel herds that belong to the urban rich.
Coming next month: A non-Middle East photograph!
