The visit to the pit dwelling in MATMATA was my high point. The place is very peaceful and unique and the people there at the moment treated us with kindness and tolerance while we visited the various rooms with their different uses, like the kitchen, bathroom, storage vaults etc . We refreshed with their Tea and tabouna bread.
