In reply to Laurie Balbo. Thanks! I simply love them. These women are quite talented. Love the one the woman in the red scarf is holding. It's too cool!

In reply to Karin Kloosterman. actually. . . yes. I'd love that. I forget that mounting a commercial business in a underdeveloped, remote area is impossible. My apologies. If you can provide pricing and images of the bags to choose from when you return that would be great. Keep me on your list and send me an email with the SUBJECT: Safi Bag Images You Requested. Thanks in advance! (I absolutely adore the bag being held by the woman in the red scarf. Just wonderful. Please tell her, if you can.)

In reply to Karin Kloosterman. Etsy would be great but the women in Safi need to learn how to use computers first. Thanks for the suggestion. Give us a few years. It's on the agenda.

This is BRILLIANT – thank you Youssef for linking these wonderful women to a larger audience!

“Authentic” Jordan people and art – located on the kingdoms’ Touristic Tri-fecta route (Dead Sea, Red Sea, Petra) – with help from people just like you this group seems perched on the brink of commercial expansion.

With some specialist support, it could be a marvelous success.

In reply to jean bradbury. Sell them through Etsy. It is easy to set up an account and to sell your stuff through them.

Thank you for all the great artistic achievements. You give me a very good reason to promote your accomplishment in the next time I visit the lowest point on Earth Museum with my group and any other group. Well done, and all the best.
Sincerely,
Youssef
P.S. I’ve already posted your website on the official website of the Jordanian Tour Guides Association where some 1000 colleagues now can have the chance to support your wonderful work. All the best
