The Jaima, the dwelling of the nomads

The jaima is a tent made of camel hair, esparto grass or palm fronds. In them the nomadic families make their common life, eat, sleep, and spend their free time. The kitchen is outdoors, where they feed and bake bread under the sand. While the man spends days with the cattle in more remote areas, the woman stays with her children in the tent. This is where they go about their daily lives. And you, would you be able to live in one of these tents?
