TONKA MISFAH

East of Ibri, on the slopes of Al Hajar Mountains, is the oasis village of Misfat Al Abriyeen. When viewed from a distance, it appears to consist of little more than vegetation. However, with its stone-paved streets, colourful wooden doors and smiling inhabitants, Misfat Al Abriyeen is an unforgettable expression of humanity’s ability to co-exist with nature. To convey Misfat Al Abriyeen’s warmth and openness, Suzy Le Helley employed the golden-wood personality of Tonka Bean to conjure the generosity of the village.
