Arabian sands
The Bedu are the tribe of the arabian desert. In the course of the years they had emigrated in the nearby lands of north africa. These tribe, which breeded the camels, were usually called "beduin", a denomination that they rarely used.
In the Arabian and African deserts, there is no alteranting seasons but thousands of plains that, just by the changing of temperature, will sign the passing of an year. The people that live in these lands, live there because it is the world in which they were born; the life they conduct is the life their ancestors conducted. They accept the discomforts and the privations of this life: they don't know a different way of living.
H.P. Lawrence, in his book "The seven pillars of wisdom", wrote: "The costumes of the bedu were tough, also for them and for the terrible strangers: one death in life."
Every man that has already been in a desert will bring with him the desire to go back there because this cruel and inhospitable land can practice a charm that no temperate climate is capable to imitate.
