Meeting Gypsies in the Beqaa

Written by hana on July 21st, 2009

On the Eastern side of the Qaroun dam we met a family of gypsies who come every spring for the sheep shearing season. The older siblings were busy grouping the sheep in the pen. Fortunately, theirĀ  striking older sister Samar wasn’t camera shy, much to Norbert’s delight( Photo to be featured in the book).

    marhubba and greetings.
    your wrong. the peoples who come to take care of the sheep are called the bedouins. the gypsies owned no livestock. they instead relied on pan handlings.
