Question

Which nomadic tribes move in the desert? Which animals do they keep?

Answer 1

Desert peoples who traditionally lead nomadic lives include groups such as the Bedouin of the Arabian and Saharan deserts and the Bushmen (San) of the Kalahari, as well as some Australian desert groups, for example, the Pintupi/Bindibu, who have historically moved seasonally in search of water and food. These nomads typically keep livestock suited to arid conditions: camels (widely used for long-distance travel and carrying water), plus sheep and goats for meat, milk and wool, and horses (or donkeys/mules in some areas) for riding and transport; some pastoral peoples in Central Asian drylands (e.g., the Kirghiz) also keep cattle, horses and yaks alongside camels.
