In Arab and especially Arabian culture we must cater for our guests and hospitality plays a very big role in our society or at least used to do.
Thus I am forced to treat any guest with the utmost hospitality.
Although we Hijazis do not have a Bedouin past, outside of a small minority, unlike Najdis that have this the most in all of KSA, that influence has also reached us.
Even enemies must be catered for.
I do not know a more hospitable people than the Bedouins. Unfortunately they are a dying breed in the Arab world.
The common man/woman does not really have a say and actually this decision has always been in place. Please read the thread.
