In the Wadi Rum desert live Bedouins. These live near a big cistern, of the size of a little swimming pool, full of cool water. The water is collected in the winter. The Bedouins live in long and low tents, made of goat hair. Typically they move every few months. The Bedouins are the original inhabitants of Jordan and are fully integrated in the country. The last years a drought has plagued the area, and life is not easy for them. The camels are essential to survive in this barren world.
