Bedouin men and women traditionally carry out different roles in society. Bedouin men are generally
the ones who go out to earn a living for their families, some work today as safari guides, drivers, shop
keepers, or in construction and maintenance. Whilst the women work in the home looking after the
house, the family and the livestock of goats and camels.
Generally women are not to mix and socailise with men, unless they are from their family or are guests
invited to the family home. This is starting to change in Dahab, with a small number of Bedouin
women starting to work outside of the home as child careers, and in shops. Most of Dahab's Bedouin
Women are excellent at making detailed beadwork necklaces and bracelets which are sold by their
children in and around the town.
