Words to Know:
The Bedouin, Beduin or Bedu (/ˈbɛduɪn Arabic: بَدْو, romanized: badū, particular بَدَوِي badawī) are roaming Arab clans who have generally occupied the desert districts in the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, the Levant, and Mesopotamia However, the Arabian Peninsula is the memorable and unique country of the Bedouin Arabs. The English word bedouin comes from the Arabic badawī, which signifies “desert inhabitant”, and is generally appeared differently in relation to ḥāḍir, the term for stationary people. Bedouin region extends from the immense deserts of North Africa to the rough sands of the Middle East. They are customarily partitioned into clans or groups, and generally share a typical culture of crowding camels and goats. by far most Bedouins hold fast to Islam, in spite of the fact that there are some fewer quantities of Christian Bedouins present in the Fertile Crescent.
Berbers or Imazighen (Berber languages: ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ, ⵎⵣⵗⵏ, romanized: Imaziɣen; singular: Amaziɣ, ⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖ ⵎⵣⵗ; Arabic: أمازيغ) are an ethnic group which is indigenous to North Africa, specifically Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, the Canary Islands, and to a lesser extent Mauritania, northern Mali, and northern Niger.
The term Berber comes from Greek.
The Bavares (also Babares or Baveres) were a Berber tribe living in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD. They are known only from inscriptions. They are sometimes portrayed as nomads and other times as sedentary mountaineers. Gabriel Camps argue that the name “Berbers” (Latin barbari) does not derive from “barbarian”, as usually thought, but from the name of the Bavares.
