A Bedouin family is seen eating the traditional meal of Mensaf (meat, rice and yoghurt) inside their tent in Al- Jafr area, south of Amman, Jordan, where large populations of Bedouins live. Bedu, the Arabic word from which the name Bedouin is derived means 'Inhabitant of the desert'. Most of the Bedouin tribes of Jordan are descended from peoples who migrated from the Arabian Peninsula between the 14th and 18th centuries. Bedouin culture still survives in Jordan, where there is a growing appreciation of its value and its fragility. -- PHOTO: AP

Kennedy International Airport following flight disruptions due to volcanic activity in Iceland in the Queens borough of New York City. Godfrey has been stranded for five days and is trying to return home to London. Many European flights resumed for the first time in days but chaos continues as a backlog of flights grows and London's airports remain closed. -- PHOTO: AFP
