Awad did something kind after hearing about our interest in touring schools. With little warning and less explanation, he raced us over to the nearby all-male King Talal Miltary school (est. 1960). It was located next to the original, pre-war Badia Desert Patrol HQ in Tuwaiseh, a hamlet close to Diseh Village. I was severely underdressed, having assumed that we were bound for another desert drive!
