  because the best stories are our own Home:   Middle East:   Oman:   Desert:   Empty Quarter: shun al ishtamaiyah
I am accustoming myself to the idea regarding every sexual act as a process in which four persons are involved. We shall have a lot to discuss about that.
Such efforts will get a boost soon, with a college for women opening shortly (Mitan already has a co-education college, and school), in addition to a new playground and mosque. But the most anticipated development is the four year plan for 120 houses for the Mahri. Now in it’s second year, you can already see 27 finished. Soon the 88 wood cabins, each with a married couple and their offspring, will be abandoned, slowly taken over by the desert sands like in Hashman. The only trace of the Bedu will be wood sticking out of sand, sagging dish antennas and threadbare tires.
In addition to the new housing, a lot of the Bedu get ‘shun al ishtamaiyah,’ a social benefit allowance from the government in addition to the free services it provides. Meanwhile, school children receive a daily food allowance of 300-500bz per day from the Saud Bahwan group.
