So find something black to wear this summer. Researchers have studied the heavy black robes worn by Bedouins in the desert. They say the key there is thickness.
The outer layer of fabric does get hotter because the black color absorbs more heat. But thin black clothing transmits that heat to the skin, making a person hotter. The best color to keep cool in the heat, it turns out, is to wear black.
Black absorbs everything coming in from the sun, sure. But black also absorbs energy from the body instead of reflecting it back. It is better to stay fully clothed in a hot desert inspite of scorching heat in the environment, because; 1 The direct exposure of the sunlight on the skin can cause skin tan and sun stroke.
Nomads of the desert are originally known as Bedouins, the origin of the word Bedu- referring to someone living out in the open. With millions of nomads living in the deserts in Morocco, Egypt, Jordan and more around North Africa, they have developed their unparalleled lifestyle. The diet of nomads was very much dependent on their livestock and consisted primarily of milk products and meat.
Any of the traditional nomadic animals—sheep, goats, yaks, and camel—would be milked and the milk used to make butter, yogurt ayran and qurut. There are still millions of people scattered around the globe living as nomads, whether as hunter-gatherers, herdsmen or craftsmen selling their wares. However, a significant population are still full-time nomadic pastoralists, herding sheep, yak, goats, horses, camels, and dogs, living in temporary structures we know as yurts.
Such groups include hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads owning livestock , and tinkers or trader nomads. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel.

On our head, we wear the keffiyeh or shemagh. Wearing a headscarf is a famous, well-known tradition of the Arab men. The shemagh, the red and white cloth, can be worn with or without the agal-rope.
The wearing of the shemagh is a sign of male status. A man who wears it is assumed to be able to uphold the obligations and responsibilities of manhood. The keffiyeh comes in many different colors and patterns and can be tight in various ways. How we fasten it depends on what we prefer or need at that moment.
