Living a lavish life with all the facilities like water, electricity and modern lifestyle is all about we know. We all are blessed to live in the modern concrete buildings which help to protect us from every harsh season condition like summer, winter, rain and so on. But have you all wonder that there are still people living in the eastern parts of South Africa of this world in the naturally made tents known as” BEDOUIN”.

“Bedou” refers to the nomadic people living in outskirts of the deserted area. These people mostly live in the eastern part of South Africa and also in the Emirates area, who were historically used to found in the area of Syria and Arab. People living here are not so well off and their main source of income is cattle, stock, cactus plantation, wool, milk and stock feedings. 

About the Bedouin Tent

The unavailability of all the resources especially the income made these people live from ancient times in the black tent-like structure known as The Bedouin.  Due to the arid and harsh environment of the deserts with dunes and hot climate during day time and cold winter breeze during nights. These people have found their way to make their lives a bit better by started living in the woollen tents known as “The Bedouin”. These tents are very flexible and can be easily folded and moulded to any shape and size.

Facts about The Bedouin

• These tents are mainly made from goat and camel wool. The wool is mainly woven by the people having an artistic hand, into beautiful roof and ground designs.
• The material of the tent is very ductile with high tensile properties that can be easily moulded into different shapes and designs. 
• These stretch tents for hire have an excellent specific heat capacity which makes it vulnerable to resist the heat and cold both at the same time.
• These tents have high durability but can also be repaired easily as the cattle live there itself and wool is always available. 
• These tents are made with so fine knowledge about the aerodynamics that the shape of the tent does not allow the heat to hit directly during day time and make it cold in the nights.
• Also, sometimes paste of CACTUS is also used outside the tent as the mask to absorb the excess heat during day time.

Tents on the lease, hire and sale

Just like we give our houses and flats for sale. These nomadic people also provide their tents for sale, lease and on rents. The Bedouin is mainly given to the nearby refuge people from Arab and Africa sides at a very nominal price. During the ancient period BARTER system was also followed in exchange of goods like milk, wool and cattle. 

But as time passed away even the modern people got bored living into their well-fashioned houses. Many people nowadays during their vacation started hiring The Bedouin on lease or rent. This event attracted many travel companies to start making their own Bedouin tents and giving this as a complement to their customers. This hiring and selling also helped the nomadic people to increase their source of income.
