Desert Life with the Dawasir Bedouins — 1969
Bunyan Fahd al-Dawsari, whose Facebook page I follow with great interest, posted these beautiful, smiling, sunny photos of desert life among the Dawasir Bedouins in 1969. The photos were probably taken by members of the archaeological mission excavating the major pre-Islamic site of Qaryat al-Faw, capital of the Central Arabian kingdom of Kinda, in the Saudi Arabian province of al-Sulayyil.
I’m noting the black camels. Very striking.
I love the flower-patterned dresses, so bright and cheerful.
Looks familiar …
Camels are friendly
