Bedouins

People who wander the desert regions in Iraq and northern Africa are known as Bedouins. Although central Iraq is the native home of the Bedouin Arabs, they also live in Iran, Israel, and Jordan.

The Bedouins live by roaming the deserts with their flocks and herds. They live in tents made of skins. Every three or four weeks they move on camelback to seek more water or better pasture for their animals.

The Bedouins fight the unbearable heat of the desert during the day and the bitter chill during the night by wearing clothes made of camel hair, sheepskin, and goatskin.

The desert sun has turned the Bedouins a dark, brownish color. They actually are members of the white race. Some of the darker color has also been caused by a mixture of races.
