Hi every body
here below some "home equipment's" from bedouins of Arabia
in Arabic countries, a formal rule, is; how to welcome the visitors
- coffee and tea
- incense

- the coffee is green, mixed with few cardamom, it's a "must"
- to prepare the coffee, coffee beans must be crushed in a "mihbaj" (mortar)
- nevertheless the coffee seeds have to have been roasted lightly, in a round pan, and stirred with a long spoon
- the copper coffee pots are in permanence in a "Doowah" (traditional Arabian charcoal set)
- incense burner, as mark of respect due to the guest, the ceremony of "incense" must be done
it's just a part, otherwise the list of items, could be long

in pictures;
- coffee-pots from Saudi, one still has some straps in goat skin, around the handle, to prevent the heat
as far as my Saudi's fellow told me, the tall one, it's from Mecca, the short from Medina ... I just repeat what was told me ...!!
- "Doowah", in heavy wood carved, used as a mortar with pestle, to crash the coffee seeds
- incense burner, for the; boukhour (incense) "mohr" (myrtle), the sental wood, and other fragrances

I added some drawn to give an idea; for what was useful those equipments
