Arabic term or phrase: raima
"Straightening up I can see to infinity, the ocean of vines down in the valley, the cluster of small, white houses, and the farm raïmas, farther down, the road lined with eucalyptus trees which leads to the school and the line of fig trees which climbs, winding past the hill opposite to lead to the neighboring farm, far away."

Le reste de la semaine vous bivouaquerez sous des grandes "raïmas", tentes traditionnelles des nomades saharaouis, avec tout le confort, les pieds dans l'eau, au coeur du Sahara.

Pour camper, l’idéal la raïmas, tentes mauritaniennes fort joliment décorées et très grandes.


The word is possibly derived from the Arabic word KHAIMA ("tent").
