I wanted to know what it was like to live as the Bedouins did back in the day, because today, in Dubai, the Bedouins truly are a vanished people. But, luckily I found a desert tour that will let me experience what it was like. After arriving to Dubai and spending a few days a my 4 Star Hotel Dubai and do some shopping, off I went.
The Bedouins of today are loosely referred to as the ‘indigenous’ tribes who traverse the desert dunes in the Middle East. Their heritage and more so their legacy however, go so much deeper. They are one of the oldest tribes to occupy the sand dunes. Initially, they were nomads wandering from spot to spot. The Bedouin that now will take me and interact with me are more sedentary then their ancestors.
I found the Bedouin camps are located deeper into the desert in and around the wadis and the hilly desert region. The camp was not easily accessible and even few or even open for tourist. So, I was pretty lucky to be on mine. The Bedouin camp was a splendid way to get to know the original Arab’s way of life. I got to eat food cooked the traditional Bedouin way and have a look at the goods and produce they create for a living. They were so super friendly and I really enjoyed hanging around their camping settlement. They even provided that I spend the night so that I could enjoy a night of evening entertainment the Arab way. The accommodations so that I could sleep in the camp itself. It was so thrilling to sleep with the Bedouins and imagine myself traversing the great desert on a camel with white robes and turbines, looking up at the evening sky and the quiet of the desert whispering her song of solitude and gratitude.
