Bedouin people, while settling down, are retaining as much of their heritage as the mod-
ern world allows.
And yet, these Bedouins are trying to maintain their traditions as much as a nomad
with a roof over his head can. Visiting a Bedouin settlement and watching the man of the
house roast coffee with a reverence for tradition is mesmerizing. Observing him at work,
it was clear to me that the dignity of these people and their closeness to the land is em-
blematic of Palestinians in general. And tasting his fresh-brewed coffee was like sealing a
new friendship.
