The Bedouin village in the desert is a kind of attraction for tourists. Once someone figured out how to lure tourists into the desert - and built this attraction here : ) In general, it turned out very colorful. Here you can look at the inhabitants themselves - dirty, soiled children, wrapped in several layers of very young girls who cover their faces, because they are already of marriageable age, old men and old women with black coal-lined eyes, dried up like a roach in the sun - because the desert is very dry leather, camels, huts and even a mini zoo. Here you will be shown how to make a fire on camel feces and bake unleavened dough cakes (by the way, quite edible), ride these same camels, take pictures next to you and, of course, ask you to buy something. The village lives, of course, at the expense of tourists.
Here they sell all sorts of handmade items at exorbitant prices, as well as various "medical" preparations, supposedly exclusive, but you will find them cheaper on the streets of Hurghada, so do not rush to buy anything. A visit to the village is part of many excursions, for example, I also managed to ride quad bikes and watch an evening show of dancers performing the dance of dervishes in the open air. If you choose such an excursion, take closed shoes and warm clothes, it is very cold in the desert at night. Be sure to include the Bedouin village in your vacation, or even better, choose a full-fledged excursion, you will get much more impressions!
