Dar al-Hiwar 2, 2003
In the summer of 2003, Florian Thalhofer from Berlin and Mahmoud Hamdy from Cairo spent a few days among the Bedouins on the Sinai Peninsula. When they asked how many children there were in the family, they were proudly told: "Sheik Suellim has seven sons". After they asked, rather amazed, if there were any daughters, the speaker added: "Seven sons – as well as six daughters."
