The Bedouin are a population of Arab-speaking nomadic peoples, based across the desert regions of North Africa, Arabian Peninsula and Upper Mesopotami. The English word ‘bedouin’ comes from the Arabic term “badawī”, which translates as "desert dweller”. Eva stayed with the family for a few days, living without power or home comforts, learning how the family she visited manage to live in this way. To see how she found the experience, watch her video below. Although Eva organised this trip through local contacts, travel agencies such as Responsible Travel are now offering similar experiences to stay with Bedouin families and other alternative holidays around the world.
