Bedouin
The Bedouin, Beduin, or Bedu (; , singular ) are nomadic Arab tribes who have historically inhabited the desert regions in the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, the Levant, and Mesopotamia.

Bedouin territory stretches from the vast deserts of North Africa to the rocky sands of the Middle East.
