This is NOT a Bedouin but somebody from Upper Egypt. By the way, in the Siwa oasis, in the Western Desert of Egypt, live Berber people.) This video is NOT true. We NOT drink tea because the sun is so hot on our head (??). This is NOT the way we make our tea. We, Bedouin, do NOT use paper to light our fire NOR use such a lot of black tea NOR overcook it like show in this movie. This is the way people from Upper Egypt make their tea....

I drank bedouin tea in the sinai. It was by far the best drink I ever had.

@3aJeeB17 or just buy an tea pack that isn't bagged

[3aJeeB17]

@flamingregis its the same as the tea bags, but the only difference they rip the bag to have a stronger taste

I agree that this is scripted. Listening carefully to the arabic spoken (it's hard with the interpreter over it) but you definitely hear Cairene aspects to it, not so much Saidii or Bedouin. He uses "b-" before his verbs, and articulates his jiims as giims. It's very rare to hear those features in upper or western egypt.
