    Les Bédouins

     

    Environ 4 millions de Bédouins vivent principalement dans les désert d'Arabie et Syrie, le désert du Sinaï et le Sahara, reconnaissables par leurs dialectes arabes, culture arabe et structure sociale spécifiques. De nos jours, seuls environ 5 % des Bédouins du Moyen-Orient sont des nomades vivant de l'élevage des caprins, des ovins et des camélidés. Quelques Bédouins du Sinaï sont encore semi-nomades. Pour certains Bédouins, il ne faut qu'appartenir à une tribu bédouine pour se revendiquer Bédouin, mais pour d'autres il faut de plus mener une vie de nomade, ce qui en exclut les sédentaires.

     

    Le mot Bédu veut dire « habitant du désert » en arabe, Bédouin est le pluriel du mot, même si Bédu peut aussi être utilisé comme un pluriel.
