Salem's beyt sha'ar (goat hair tent) at Wadi Arwaybaya. The goat hair, often times combined
with camel hair for the side walls, can block out wind, sand and the occasional rain. This
type of home is very portable, being broken down in a matter of minutes and easily packed
on a camel. Less nomadic than in centuries before, though, the Muzeina Bedouin still cling
to vestiges of their wandering past.
E-mail or call the Texas Camel Corps at (254)675-HUMP (675-4867).
