Oh, yes, an asphodel! I went back and looked at my files and realized I suggested to you the wrong plant - it wasn't the Desert Grass it looked like here, it was Narrow-Leaved Asphodel! (Asphodelus tenuifolius) I love seeing the similar plants around the world!

Patricia Pi, thank you for the ID and the link. Gracias.

Beautiful! Looks similar to the Desert Grass that grows here in Sinai (Panicum turgidum). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panicum
