 Bedouin territory stretches from the vast deserts of North Africa to the rocky sands of the Middle East.They are traditionally divided into tribes, or clans (known in Arabic as "ʿašāʾir"; ), and historically share a common culture of herding camels and goats.The vast majority of Bedouin adhere to Islam, although there are some fewer numbers of Arab Christian Bedouins present in the Fertile Crescent.
