Syrians or Bedouins?

We were driving along not far from our house, went around a bend in the road and this is what we saw!




At first we thought it was a small pocket of Syrian refugees, but we were wrong.  These tents are homes for  Bedouin sheep herders who move around the country and have come to this area for the winter.  We've seen the shepherds with their sheep in the fields.  The shepherds were the first to learn of the Savior's birth when an angel appeared to them, probably not far from here.
