The Friday Photo: Bedouin Ingenuity
Back when we did our Sinai desert trip, we came across this amazing table.
Get a load of it!
In its stylish, zinc clad elegance, casually laid on a Bedouin camel hair carpet at our camp in the desert, it looked like something from a Manhattan loft apartment circa 1992.

The pole that had been supporting it was also pressed into service for the tent, you’ll be amused to hear…
