OCR: Like the Tuareg, Bedouins are nomadic tribesmen, and bedouins live in the Middle Eastern deserts across to Egypt. Bedouins also live in the vast emptiness of the Arabian Desert - the Rub al Khali, or the Empty Quarter, which provides little to support human populations. These pastoral nomads herd camels, sheep and horses keeping them by oases during the dry summer months and migrating to follow the sparse growth of vegetation when the rains come in fall and winter.
