Read the text. Then do Exercise 1.

Not all people live in houses and stay in the same place throughout the year. People

who move from one location to another make up what is known as a nomadic culture.

Although nomadic cultures are becoming rarer in the modern world, there are still about

thirty to forty million people who continue to move and set-up their homes where they

next choose to settle.

The Bedouin of the Middle East are traditionally nomadic and many today still continue

to live their lives moving from one place to the next. The lands of the Sinai, Arabia and

Negev where the Bedouin come from are mostly very dry and consist of deserts. This

makes it very difficult for people to remain in the same place and survive; especially in

the older days when advances of the modern world did not exist. Many Bedouins have

herds of sheep, goats and camels and as such they need to go where the animals can

graze and drink water. Once there is no food in one place for the herd, they move to the

next.

Because the Bedouin who continue the nomadic culture know how difficult it is to

survive in the lands they live in, they share a deep respect for each other. They have a

very strong sense of hospitality and are well known for their celebratory reception of

guests. The desert is also a very quiet and lonely place. Seeing a new face, especially in

the older days, creates a sense of happiness, interest and generosity.

Because Bedouins move from place to place their homes are tents which they set up.

They weave the hair from their goats or camels to make the cloth they need for their

tents. The Bedouin tents are usually made up of two areas which are divided by a

curtain called a ma’nad.

One area is used by the men and also to welcome most guestsand is called the mag’ad. The other is section is called the maharama and is reserved for

the women and to receive female guests.

Guests who are welcomed by the Bedouins enjoy a wonderful experience. This is

especially true if you are not familiar with their culture. It is an opportunity to escape the

modern world you know. Guests are fed delicious food, listen to music and poetry and

sometimes get to watch traditional dances. The instruments the Bedouins mostly use are

the shabbaba which is something like a flute and the rababa which is a one string violin.

The singing is mostly done by the Bedouin women who sit across from each other and it

looks like they are speaking to each other while they sing.

The world is changing and becoming more modern. This has affected most Bedouins

and the lands they live on so many no longer live nomadic lives. However, many still

continue their traditional ways and there are lots of people who are happy they do and

plan trips to visit them.
