Survival Instinct


The Bedouin knew how to navigate in the desert and how to find water. In the desert it’s hard to live but the UAE’s Bedouins have managed to survive by saving food, water and shelter. Bedouins knew where the wells were and how many there were. On the other hand, there were Bedouins who followed birds. Bedouins dug wells with their bare hands and the wells were from 3 to 10 meters also, they can tell if there is water by the vegetation of the ground. Bedouins even knew how to desalinate seawater and make it potable by a water vessel called a qebra. Some Bedouins killed camels because of the water in their body; a camel can drink 100 liters of water and can store it for a long time. Milk of camels and goats can replace water. Bedouins can stand dehydration better than most.
