	Al Khamsa Inc. - Where you can Learn about the Bedouin Arabian Horse and those Seeking to Preserve it
		Al Khamsa, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization devoted to the preservation of the horse of Bedouin Arabia, as recognized by Al Khamsa, through education and research in a non-competitive social climate which draws admirers of such horses together with the interest of fitting the Bedouin horse into western life.
		Our work is to study, document, research, find out as much as we can about the Arabian Horse of Bedouin origin as it exists today and then to share this information with others through our various publications, and through our magazine.
		Al Khamsa Arabians are defined as those horses in North America that can reasonable be assumed to descend entirely from asil bedouin Arabian horses bred by the horse-breeding bedouin tribes of the deserts of the Arabian peninsula, without admixture from sources unacceptable to Al Khamsa.

	Sinai - The Bedouin Way
		The bedouin of the Sinai share with other Egyptians the jalabiyya, a long, hooded robe that is a standard form of clothing both in the teeming metropolis of Cairo and in the solitary plains of the Sinai.

	Bedouin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bedouin, derived from the Arabic badawī بدوي, a generic name for a desert-dweller, is a term generally applied to Arab nomadic pastoralist groups, who are found throughout most of the desert belt extending from the Atlantic coast of the Sahara via the Western Desert, Sinai, and Negev to the eastern coast of the Arabian desert.
		Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, many Bedouin started to leave the traditional, nomadic life to work and live in the cities of the Middle East, especially as grazing ranges have shrunk and population levels have grown.
		The tribal level is the level that mediated between the Bedouin and the outside governments and organisations.

	Middle East Report Online: Bedouin in the Negev Face New "Transfer" by Jonathan Cook
		One successful way of isolating the Bedouin from the main Christian and Muslim communities has been to pressure them to serve in the army, mainly as low-ranking desert trackers (only the small Druze community is conscripted).
		The Negev area in which the Bedouin were concentrated came to be known as the "siege zone": a ring of Jewish settlements was established to contain the Bedouin, while their lands were further whittled away through the construction of industrial areas, more military zones and conservation parks, and an airport.
		It will not be possible for a defense lawyer to argue that the villages have existed since before the creation of the state, or in other cases that the land villagers now dwell where they were moved by the state when their original lands were confiscated.
