A couple of other videos I've done about Oman here: https://youtu.be/NGk1Hy6mVNA https://youtu.be/Cys-j_rH_3M World's largest waterfalls: https://youtu.be/F8EfSRCK48E Bread making: https://youtu.be/cwklaCyNohw This video give an insight into the lives of modern Bedouin Omanis and how they still cook and eat the traditional way and like to visit the naturally beautiful spots of the country. I have just updated the video with views of the mountains. The location is very near to Hatta in Dubai, UAE, but is in Oman. The name of the food made is qurus ealjmr. The Bedouins (/ˈbɛdʉ.ɪn/, in Arabic: بَدَوِي badawī) are an Arab seminomadic group, descended from nomads who have historically inhabited the Arabian and Syrian Deserts. Their name means "desert dwellers" in Arabic.[30] Their territory stretches from the vast deserts of North Africa to the rocky sands of the Middle East.[30] They are traditionally divided into tribes, or clans (known in Arabic as ʿashāʾir; عَشَائِر) and share a common culture of herding camels and goats.[30] The Bedouin form a part of[citation needed], but are not synonymous with[citation needed], the modern concept of the Arabs. Bedouins have been referred to by various names throughout history, including Qedarites in the Old Testament and Arabaa by the Assyrians (ar-ba-a-a being a nisba of the noun Arab, a name still used for Bedouins today). They are referred to as the Aarab (أعراب) in the Koran. A Bedouin girl in Nuweiba - Egypt 2015 While many Bedouins have abandoned their nomadic and tribal traditions for modern urban lifestyle, they retain traditional Bedouin culture with concepts of belonging to ʿašāʾir, traditional music, poetry, dances (like Saas), and many other cultural practices. Urbanised Bedouins also organise cultural festivals, usually held several times a year, in which they gather with other Bedouins to partake in, and learn about, various Bedouin traditions - from poetry recitation and traditional sword dances, to classes teaching traditional tent knitting and playing traditional Bedouin musical instruments. Traditions like camel riding and camping in the deserts are also popular leisure activities for urbanised Bedouins who live within close proximity to deserts or other wilderness areas.
