First Visit - 07/03/09

Our original search for a bedouin tribe in West Bekaa was in Mansoura. Unfortunately, we did not find what we were looking for. Our informant, who is a citizen of Jeb Jennine, directed us to "Arab Abou Eid" bedouin tribe. We first met with Shiekh Khaled Sultan, who was very cooperative and helpful, and proposed to come back the next week-end when all the tribe members are present. Amani, Blanche and Catherine
